Group 1Planning - students need to learn how to plan, work schedules, their day, esp. when not in the same time zone. Could be called into work in normal class time. Life skill. With the online approach, become important to have all the pieces in place as the quarter starts. This is a great opportunity for students to get the info they need - faculty interact with them often, so faculty have a direct line to students.Devote a portion of the weekly video to a planning tip. Spend time on the first day of class talking about planning. Communication lines are really important (weekly Zooms, Slack chats so we can all be on the same page.) Students' access to technology will need to be taken into account as part of this. Being able to walk Ss through tech or get them to the people can , is also important. Faculty can take a survey of students at the beginning of the quarter to see how connected students are, then make a list or resource laying all of the resources out at the beginning of the quarter can go a long way toward helping students.

Group 3Planning- student success and retention; loss of structure of coming to class on line;Ad hoc, refer them to independent review of support materials. Use canvas modules to spell out what needs to be done and when. Provide them with schedule. Enourage/model behavior around planning. Make more intentional study structure.Consider having university require course on this topic as pre-work before start of instruction.Consider a priority matrix/decision making

Group 4Planning - Adjustment to competitive academic environment. Adjustment to independent living from high school can be challenging. Noticed students waiting until last minute. Students have to keep up because everything builds up until the final.Decided to incorporate steps and drafts to work up to final product. Giving direct instructions on how to complete project in pieces. How to bring the philosophy of learning into the class? This topic is easily avoided in the sciences. Consider tracking time for each task. Bring up this topic into the beginning, middle, and end of course. Don't just bring it up once and drop it.Admitting in the beginning that we are all dealing with time management and planning. Talk about using intention and note that there are many ways to achieve this.

Group 5Reflection- Metacognition, being able to assess learning, skills, time management, etc.time management is an issue in life. metacognition of thinkinking about if your strategies work and being will to change if they don't. Talking about reflection and practicing it for professional reasons also helps with personal life via explicit "let's reflect on... how do i feel about..." Create community where the importance of reflection is taught. Guiding students rather than just saying go reflect now. With a starting point of a question, they can branch off. setting goals is important in order to track progress and reflect how much further you want to go, how far you've gotten already, etc. build in time in the course, even though you never have enough time. Reflection pre-built into the syllabus means it won't get pushed down/out. will implement module surveys of 5 questions: main takeaway, how it relates to broader context, what assignment was more meaningful and why - reflective for them and helpful as an instructor for planning future courses. Concern about not tacking on more work. Applicable career building skills not just content/topic specific. students submit reflections anonymously and other students can respond also anonymously? allows them to be more candid and honest if your comments aren't tracked.

Group 7
Planning - If you fail to plan you plan to fail.
Students tend to procrastinate a lot despite the
length of assignments and the need for
the full time to complete it.
Let students know the average time it takes to complete an
assignment.
Give the students the time it took you to complete so the students
can figure out their time multiplier. (It takes me 5X as long as the instructor, 20X)
Share the planning slides with the students

Wellness can help manage the different aspects of their life and their skill development, to take care of themselves while balancing studies. Especially for international students with the visa policy uncertainty. Helping students connect to resources from the institution. Outlined section of the syllabus on wellness, and how to navigate resources. Links to resources and PDFs on Canvas sites, or links to other websites around wellness (time-saving). https://ucdavis.app.box.com/s/3hfpl94pubh73xwjudx4rux1zatkx9biIncluding a YouTube video on wellness, list of health and wellness mobile apps on KT, mindfulness apps for guided meditation such as Calm and Headspace (free of partially free)

Example: Arabic needs daily work whereas geology doesn't.Guide students in different models for time managing assignments.
