Introduction
Time management is when a person plan’s the time that they will spend doing certain tasks, and then takes control of the time they spend actually doing tasks so that they get the results which they had initially planned for.
I think time management is important and in particular is very importance for adult learners. Throughout this assignment I will discuss why I think time management is important, and how a person, adult learners in particular can manage their time well, – what good tips an adult learner could remember and apply, so they increase their potential and hopefully maximize the results which they receive.
Personally, I think it’s essential that the adult learner fully understands the importance of good time management, and that he/she can easily follow some basic tips to ensure that there is good time management.
A person would usually manage their time well so that they can increase how efficient they are, how effective the results of the task which they are undertaking therefore increasing productivity.
Unfortunately, many students appear to drop out of college.
“Failure to establish sound time-management skills also increases the likelihood you won 't complete your college experience. Thirty percent of students drop out after their first year, while half never graduate, "U.S. News & World Report" stated in August 2009. Graduation rates

  • Thomas Nelson Community College Student Analysis

    513 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 2013 at Old Dominion University for four years of college, only 23.1 percent of students graduated, five years of college, only 45.2 percent of students graduated, and for six years of college, only 51.2 percent of students graduated. It is kind of upsetting that not many students graduate at the same time as everyone else. One of the reasons why is that certain students do not take their work seriously at all. But, if a student works late, it would be hard for them to get their schoolwork done by the day it is due. As a Thomas Nelson Community College student, I need to get my degree as soon as everyone else does, even though college is difficult.

This determined my time management based on interests outside of school.

  • Pharinet's Essay: Is College For Everyone

    745 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pharinet makes it a point to let it be known that every person has the right to an education, but also lets it be known that not everyone should attend college (Pharinet 680). Though the drop-out rates vary, it is estimated that in the U.S., approximately 50% of students who begin college never graduate (Pharinet 680).Pharinet gives plenty of examples why college is not for everyone, financial challenges being the most common, working full-time, having children, or just having the mental mindset to stay focused just to name a few. Pharinet mentions that students usually end up working full-time jobs and going to school full-time, which can sometimes cause a great deal of stress and low grades. Students then usually end up dropping classes or taking fewer hours in order to keep up (Pharinet 680). Pharient states that “the best financial planning in the world will not prepare a student for the academic challenges that await them” (Pharinet

The analysis from the questionnaire (Table 2) as well as keeping a record of what activities I focus on for a couple of days, opened my eyes to a few areas of improvement.

  • Why Students Should Be Involved In Extracurricular Activities

    Time management is important to have because it helps get work done more efficiently and is a way to manage your priorities. Priorities along with making commitments are also learned from participating in a extra activity. Students learn how to prioritize their work when in activities while also finding a balance of everything else going on in their life; commitment is also learned but showing that a student needs to be 100% involved to put in their best effort to whatever they choose to do and to be be successful doing it. “Various research studies have lined participation in student activities to higher math and english grades, improved grades and homework completion, better performance on math, reading and science test, and an increased likelihood of applying to college” (Annemarie Mannion).
