Table 1.3

Were you able to mark mostly 4s and 5s? If you were even able to mark at least one 4 or 5, then you are well
|
on your way to taking responsibility for your own learning. Let’s break down each statement in the
|
components of the ownership of learning:
|
• Motivation. Being able to stay motivated while studying and balancing all you have to do in your
|
classes will be important for meeting the rest of the components.
|
• Deliberate, focused effort. Taking ownership of learning will hinge on the effort that you put into the
|
work. Because most learning in college will take place outside of the classroom, you will need
|
determination to get the work done. And there will be times that the work will be challenging and
|
maybe even boring, but finding a way to get through it when it is not exciting will pay in the long run.
|
• Time and task management. You will learn more about strategies for managing your time and the
|
tasks of college in a later chapter, but without the ability to control your calendar, it will be difficult to
|
block out the time to study.
|
• Progress tracking. A commitment to learning must include monitoring your learning, knowing not
|
only what you have completed (this is where a good time management strategy can help you track
|
your tasks), but also the quality of the work you have done.
|
Taking responsibility for your learning will take some time if you are not used to being in the driver’s seat.
|
However, if you have any difficulty making this adjustment, you can and should reach out for help along the
|
way.

What to Expect During the First Year
|
While you may not experience every transition within your first year, there are rhythms to each semester of the
|
first year and each year you are in college. Knowing what to expect each month or week can better prepare
|
you to take advantage of the times that you have more confidence and weather through the times that seem
|
challenging. Review the table on First-Year College Student Milestones. There will be milestones each semester
|
you are in college, but these will serve as an introduction to what you should expect in terms of the rhythms of
|
the semester.
