Module #12 Student’s Activity Sheet
This module is designed to complement the previous semester’s session, helping you stay and excel in
college. Since there are numerous non-academic concerns a freshman college student may face, this module
was created to help you deal with these concerns.
We hope that the procedures discussed in this module will help you in situations that might prevent you from
reaching your goals.
B. COACH
Think of a current problem or concern you have related to the course you chose or the course that was chosen for
you. Use the “Five Steps in Making A Decision.”
2. Review each way/alternative to solve the problem and list all the things that could possibly
happen.
Alternative Ways Possible Consequences
1. Set a To-Do list. 1. I’ll be able to organize my tasks and prioritize my
time efficiently.
2. Break down large tasks 2. Breaking down large tasks into smaller, allows for
a clearer understanding of the task at hand and
can help identify potential roadblocks or areas
where additional resources may be needed.
3. Use tools to schedule your tasks 3. Scheduling tasks can help increase productivity
and ensure that important deadlines are met.
With the help of various scheduling tools, I can
easily manage my workload and stay on track.
4. Use breaks to your advantage 4. Taking regular breaks allows me for better focus
and concentration when returning to study.
However, it may cause distractions and I won’t be
able to get on track
I think breaking down larger tasks is the most efficient way to manage my time. By breaking
down larger tasks into smaller ones, I will be able to focus on one task at a time and feel a sense of
accomplishment as I complete each one. Furthermore, this allows for a clearer understanding of the
task at hand and can help identify potential roadblocks or areas where additional resources may be
needed. This approach can also help me prioritize my tasks and manage my time more effectively.
4. Evaluate the decision. Use the final decision for making a plan for carrying out the decision; use the
plan to set goals.
The "breaking down tasks" approach helps in identifying the most important tasks and allocating time
accordingly. Additionally, it also helps in avoiding procrastination and staying on track.
STEPS:
1. Figure out how much time I have. Count backward from the project’s due date to see how many
days I have left to complete it.
2. Figure out how long each session should be. Estimate how much stamina I will have for the kinds
of work involved.
3. Write down each task. Write down on index cards every task the assignment involves, from going to
the library to designing the report cover.
4. Put the task cards in order. Decide what comes first, second, etc. For instance, doing research
comes before proofreading the paper.
5. Assign a deadline for each task.
6. Review my progress.
Personal Reflection
1. How did you feel with today’s activity? Draw an emoji that best explains your feeling and write a short
explanation about it.
I am happy today, and there's no deep reason for that. I believe that having a positive outlook on life
can greatly improve one's mental and emotional well-being, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. That's
why I'm more focused on the good things in life, no matter how small they may seem, as they can bring joy
and positivity into my daily experiences.
2. What did you find out about yourself today that makes you proud?
I learned a lot and grew from my mistakes. As I reflect on my past experiences, I now understand that
making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process and has somewhat helped me become a better
version of myself. I am grateful for the lessons I've learned, and I look forward to continuing to grow through
future challenges.
3. What is your greatest take away from today’s lesson when it comes to decision making?
Big decisions never limit your options. I've realized that everytime I make big decisions, I open up new
opportunities and possibilities that I may have never considered before. I just need to be confident, never
doubt myself, embrace change and take risks for this will lead to my growth and success in all aspects of my
life. I may fail, but that also means that I can be better the second time around.
