WGU PSYCH C180 LEARNING STATEGIES TASK
TWO WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Part A:
In the given scenario, the first action the student should take to resolve
their issues is to review the online proctoring guidelines in the WGU
Student Policy Handbook, specifically the 'Being Successful with Online
Proctoring' section. This section introduces the ALERT acronym, which
stands for Academic Preparation, Launch Process Information,
Environment, Rules for the Exam, and Technical Setup and Troubleshooting
(WGU.,2025). ALERT helps students properly prepare for exams by
explaining scheduling, instructor approvals, and how to set up an
appropriate testing environment. Next, the student should review the
Assessment Policies and navigate to the “Procedures” section, which
outlines the proper steps for retaking an objective assessment, including
the requirement to consult with their instructor to develop a personalized
study plan before attempting the exam again. (WGU.,2025). This approach
can help the student feel more prepared, reduce anxiety, and prevent delays
on exam day.
B1. The Cornell note-taking method is an effective technique the student
could use when preparing to retake the assessment. It organizes key
information by placing detailed notes on the right side, using the left
column for questions or keywords, and including a summary at the bottom
of the page. This approach supports a better understanding of core
concepts, course review, and improved retention of the material.
(WGU.,2023)
B2. The student can use the PQ3R study method to better prepare for their
assessment retake. PQ3R stands for Preview, Question, Read, Recite, and
Review. The student should begin by previewing the material to identify key
concepts, then form questions to guide their focus. As they read, they
should search for answers to their questions, followed by reciting the main
points aloud or in writing to help reinforce their understanding
(WGU.,2023). Finally, by regularly reviewing their notes, the student can
improve retention and build confidence for the OA retake.
B3. Two effective time-management strategies from the course material that
the student could use are the Pomodoro Technique and SMART goals. The
Pomodoro Technique helps manage time by breaking study sessions into
focused 25-minute intervals followed by short breaks, improving
concentration and preventing burnout (WGU, 2023). SMART goals stand for
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, which help
