Preparing Your Mind for Success [CLO: 4]. Due by Day 3.Prepare: As you prepare to write your first discussion for this course, take a few moments to read the Week One Instructor Guidance (located in the left navigation menu of Week 1) and watch the author’s textbook introduction above. In section 1.1 of your textbook, Johnston (2013) defines “successful students” as “those who persevere in life and persist in learning” (para. 5). You are exhibiting perseverance by enrolling at Ashford University 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.

Reflect: Carefully review the questions associated with each of the six factors in Worksheet 1.1. When you have reflected on your thoughts for each, you are ready to write your response.

Write: Respond to the questions associated with each of the six factors. Your response to each factor should be at least four to five sentences in length in order to provide sufficient detail and context. Note: Do not attach Worksheet 1.1 to your discussion response.

Your initial post should contain a minimum of 250 words and be written in complete sentences. 

Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers. Discuss how the success factors described by your classmates compare to your own. Provide tips that can help maximize their success. Each response should be a minimum of 50 words.
