Learning Strategies in Higher Education
WGU D389
Task 2
Section A: First action
Every school should have a student policy handbook containing rules,
policies, and procedures. Each institution has its guides, but for WGU, the
handbook contains more than 100 links with helpful information. Upon
exploring education at WGU, a student should read the handbook and
prepare what the school expects.
The student could have tried to learn about WGU and its resources in
the given scenario by navigating each tab and link. Under the policy
handbook link, there is a link called "Assessment Policies." This policy has
much information on how WGU administers assessments (Kthometz1,
2024). After learning the policy, the student would know the proper steps
for taking an assessment. This section will also include an explanation of
task requirements and a rubric. The rubric is a task or assessment scoring
guide for evaluators to provide feedback on a student's work. If the student
had read the policy, then in the event of retaking the assessment, the
student would know the next step.
Second action:
To retake an assessment, contacting the instructor before moving
forward is best. To locate the instructor’s means of communication, students
must navigate the WGU student portal and select the course they currently
need help with. On the course’s main page is the location of the instructor’s
information, which includes their phone number, email address, and office
hours. When the student contacts the instructor, they can begin to make a
study plan. They would discuss what section(s) the student may need help
with. There is an explanation in the student handbook's "Assessment
Scheduling and Rescheduling Information" (Kthometz1, 2024).
By understanding the procedures of taking an assessment, the student
can find better solutions, prepare for upcoming assessments, recognize
expectations, and aim for success in a course.
