UNV 504 Grand Canyon Week 1 Discussion 1
Topic 1 reviews some of the major differences
between undergraduate and graduate studies. How do you think your graduate
educational experience will differ from your undergraduate experience? How
would you describe a graduate learning community? What are the key components
of a learning community and how might a graduate learning community differ from
an undergraduate learning community?
UNV 504 Grand Canyon Week 1 Discussion 2
This topic discussed the importance of
communication. One of the goals of GCU is to help you to effectively
communicate throughout your life. Access and review the “Communication Tool.”
Why is it important to communicate effectively with others? How will effective
communication help students in their academic career? Give examples. Why do you
think GCU emphasizes quality discussion posts and proper etiquette in the
Discussion Forums?

educational experience?

Class Wall Biography
Details:
Participating and getting to know other
students in your class is important in order to create the online community at
GCU. The Class Wall is a place for students to network and get to know one
another. Your first post to the Class Wall will be a biography to share
information about you with fellow students.
Here are some things to consider including in
your biography:
1- Your name
2- Where you are from
3- Your family
4- The degree program you are enrolled in
5- What you currently do for a living
6- Your hobbies or interests
7- Motivation for pursuing a graduate degree
Your biography should be 250-350 words.
Post your biography to the Class Wall by the
end of Day 2 of Topic 1.
Submit your biography to the appropriate
assignment drop box as well as posting it to the Class Wall.
Once other students have posted their bios, go
back to the Class Wall and read them, as well as your instructor’s bio.

writing is expected.

UNV 504 Grand Canyon Week 1 Assignment 2
Time Monitoring Worksheet
Details:
This assignment will help you develop an
important skill for college and everyday life – time management. For this
assignment, you will keep an informal time log in which you note all your
activities for 3 days, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Then, you will review your
activities to identify times when you were not productive. You should use this
information for planning ways to make better use your time.
Part 1: Monitor your time in hourly
increments.
1- Use “Time Monitoring
Worksheet” to write down what you did each hour of the day, starting at 5 a.m.
and ending at 10 p.m. Even if you do not get up until 10 a.m., you still need
to record 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. as “sleep.”
2- Do not overdo the
recording; record the primary activity for the hour. At most, record two
activities per hour.
Part 2: Reflection
On day four, review your completed Time
Monitoring Worksheet in order to take a serious look at how you use your time
each day.
Write a 250-500-word reflection on how you
manage your time. Include the following in your reflection:
1- What are some things you can do more
efficiently?
2- What are the main items/tasks that take up
most of your time?
3- Do you see areas in your daily routine
where you can make adjustments to become more productive?
4- Do you have any “black holes” that
unnecessarily suck up a lot of your time?
APA format is not required, but solid academic
writing is expected.
You are not required to submit this assignment
to Turnitin.
