1. The Role of Learning for Success
As you prepare to write your first discussion for this course, take a few moments and watch the author's textbook introduction above. In your textbook, Dr. Johnston (2013) defines successful students as those who persevere in life and persist in learning. You are exhibiting perseverance by enrolling at Ashford in order to continue your education and earn a degree. The author has developed a list of six factors found in Worksheet 1.1 in section 1.1 that will have an impact on your success as a student:
1. Motivation
2. Purpose
3. Values
4. Discipline
5. Focus
6. Readiness

Complete Worksheet and use it to guide your reflection on the six factors that will have an impact on your success in achieving your degree at Ashford University. In your initial response, answer the questions associated with each of the six factors provided on Worksheet 1.1.
Your response for each of the factors should be two to three sentences in length in order to provide sufficient detail.
2. Confidence in Yourself as a Learner
Your thoughts, actions, and feelings play key roles in how you feel about yourself as a learner before, during, and after completing a learning task. These learning processes can give you a sense of confidence or fill you with dread as you consider the task that lies before you. In order to be an intentional learner, you need to recognize the powerful role your learning processes play and how to control and direct them before they control you.
