Quotes for C/C essay...

Manage Time

"A wise choice in college is to assume that your instructors take a serious view of time'sensitive choices such as attending class, completing homework, and keeping appointments." (118)

"A monthly planner is an easy and effective self-management tool to use all by itself." (119)

Accept Personal Responsibility

"The key ingredient of responsibility is choice." (42)

"Personal responsibility is about taking hold of the steering wheel of our lives, about taking control of where we go and how we get there." (46)

Self Motivation:

Pg. 78 

"A commitment is an unbending intention, a single-mindedness of purpose that promises to overcome all obstacles regardless of how you may feel at any particular time." 

Pg. 83

"Some of the most motivated students in higher education are those who see college as the next logical step on the path to their goals."

Not self-motivated:

Pg. 64

Professor Fanning said: "Your unmotivated students probably don't expect to pass your course, so they quit."

Pg. 66

"Lack of motivation has various symptoms: students arriving late to class or being absent, assignments turned in late or not at all, work done superficially or sloppily, appointments missed, offers of support ignored, and students not participating in class discussions or activities, to name just a few."

Don’t manage Time

"Procrastination is a choice to do unimportant tasks while neglecting important tasks" (104).

"Procrastinators dive desperately into quadrant one to handle an action that is has always been important but is now urgent" (104)

"The voice that we allow to occupy our thoughts determines our choices and our choices determine the outcomes and experiences of our lives" (51).

Don’t accept personal responsibility

"Some students allow themselves to be victimized by an inside force" (42).

"As such, students are expected to make adult choices and be willing to accept responsibility for the consequences of those choices" (44).

"Pawn-like students see themselves as mere puppets manipulated by others, in other words, victims" (33).
