In Weeks 1-5 of this course, you will complete an Academic Journal assignment that encourages you to document insights you have gained during the week related to the Learning Resources, Discussions, and Assignments, and how these insights apply to your personal academic and career goals. Only your Instructor will see your Academic Journal. Before you begin this week’s Academic Journal, review the Learning Resource “Guide to Academic Journaling.”
Note: For information regarding how your Academic Journal assignments will be evaluated, please review the grading rubric located in the Course Information area of the course.
For your first Academic Journal assignment of the course, you will reflect on your transferable skills, and your responses to the Psychology Survey this week. You also reflect on what your goals might be for this course and for your program of study at Walden.
Academic Journal Assignment Instructions:
After reading the assigned learning resources this week, complete the Week 1 Psychology Survey. To review your survey responses again, access “Attempts” and a green check mark appears under the Calculated Grade column. Click on the check mark and your completed survey will open.
If you experience technical difficulties retrieving your responses, you can recall your responses by viewing the same survey items on page 21 of the course textbook.
Review Table 2.2 on page 18 of your Course Text (“A Listing of Transferrable Skills, with Examples”).
Write 1 short paragraph for each bulleted prompt:
Planning for Success:

More detailed instructions are provided in the template (located in the Week 1 Learning Resources).

In this first Week you completed a self-assessment and reflected on your present knowledge of topics to be covered in this course. Next Week you will focus on finding a place for you to use your skills as you consider career options that can be obtained with a degree. You will also review your career goals and how they might contribute to Walden’s mission of positive social change.
As you proceed through this seminar, you will be formulating personal goals and gathering resources that can help you succeed throughout your program of study and beyond. Over the next 6 weeks, you will document this information in the Curriculum and Strategy for Success Planner. Use the template provided in this week’s Learning Resources to complete your Planner.
In order to complete this Planner, you will need to gather some information. This week, begin gathering necessary materials, including an unofficial copy of your current transcript, preliminary program of study, and transfer credit evaluation(s). Also, review the template located in this week’s Learning Resources to understand the requirements for this Assignment. Note that even though you will submit a “final” copy of this Planner in Week 6, the Planner is meant to be a working document that you can add to and modify after you complete this course.
Note: In Weeks 1–5, you will have an Academic Journal assignment in which you will be entering journal reflections in the online journal tool. Each week’s Academic Journal assignment will include specific questions to guide your entries. As you complete your Academic Journal entries, you may have insights that will be helpful for your Curriculum and Strategy for Success Planner. Therefore, each week’s Academic Journal assignment will also have a section called “Planning for Success.” This section will provide some suggestions for filling out portions of your Curriculum and Strategy for Success Planner. You are encouraged to work on your Planner each week, but you do not need to submit it until Week 6.
For information regarding how your Curriculum and Strategy for Success Planner will be evaluated, please review the grading rubric located in the Course Information area of the course.
