I have written Assignment 5

1- Prior to engaging in learning, students are recommended to undertake self-directed

learning. Self-directed learners take initiative in a learning process without the help of

any other individuals. Self-directed learning includes four essential aspects: the student

must be ready and have the personality traits of a self-disciplined, organized, and

autonomous individual; they should establish clear goals and outlines of a successful

learning process; they should engage in the process by knowing their strengths and

weaknesses (their favorite way of learning); self-reflection and evaluation is crucial to

track progress and make improvements.

2- My two biggest strengths as a student are my curiosity and my analytical thinking skills. I

love to learn many things as long as I have an interest in the subject. I would ask many

questions until I get the answer. My curiosity makes it easier to study in self-directed

learning. I use my analytical thinking skills to solve problems effectively. I could think of

the most relevant and realistic as possible. That would help me in searching many sources

to learn by myself and to solve the problem quickly.

3- I am not good at time management and have trouble communicating with others.

Procrastination slows down my self-learning process. Even if I finish my work before the

deadline, it will still slow down my progress. I get nervous every time I try to talk to

other people. Communication with others also slows down my learning progress.
4- I have some strategies as a student to become a more self-directed learner. Students

should first learn how to learn, to make it easier to learn and understand things. They

should know what they are interested in, which will make them more self-directed

learners. Some students are afraid when they want to start things, all they need is the first

move.
