Part 5 (SI SS)
Based on this week’s readings and videos, you now have some information to help you understand what you need in order to achieve your goals, and you also have some strategies for requesting help from your friends and family during your college journey.
Your assignment this week is to have an “I need” conversation with someone close to you (friend or family member).There are two parts to this assignment. First, you need to prepare for your discussion by creating a “conversation plan.” Then, you need to reflect on how the conversation unfolded. You will submit your outline of the conversation plan (part one) on the same page as your reflection (part two).
PART ONE: Here is the outline for your conversation plan.
1.Create a vision of the ideal state (“I want to earn this college degree”)
2.Explain your reasons for setting that goal, be sure to point out what’s in it for your friend/family member (“With a degree, I can earn more money for our family”)
3.Explain what it will take in order for you to achieve that goal (“I need two to three hours of quiet time each night in order to study”)
4.Explain how the other person can help you (“If you can bathe the kids and put them to bed, I will be able to study”)
5.Anticipate any resistance (“I know you are tired by the end of the day, and so it may be a challenge to do that by yourself”)
6.Offer a solution or a compromise (“I can help on the weekends, but I have deadlines on Sundays and Tuesdays”)
7.Remind your friend/family member of the positive outcome (“If we can work this out, then I can graduate in three years and we then will be able to afford that new car we want to buy”)
PART TWO: After you have the “I need” conversation, reflect upon how it went.Then, write a reflection paper that includes the following information
1.Recap your “I need…” conversation. With whom did you have the conversation? Did you cover your main points?Why or why not?
2.Reflect on your emotions. How were you feeling during the conversation?
3.Analyze your friend/family member’s reaction. How did the person respond to your conversation?
4.Anticipated results: Do you believe you will get what you need?Why or why not?
5.If you were to have the “I need” conversation with a second person, would you change anything given your experience with the first conversation?Why or why not?
Part 6
Sometimes situations arise in courses (or with instructors) that make you angry or upset, yet you need to resolve them diplomatically. It is important to email your instructor in a way that is professional and not accusatory, while asking for resolution of the conflict.
Pick two of the scenarios below, and write a professional email for each to a fictional instructor about the situation.
Scenario 1
You were in the middle of taking your final exam (which is timed) when the power went out. When the power resumed, the exam time had expired.You were only able to answer a few questions, and have a failing grade on the final. Write a professional email to your instructor explaining the situation, and asking if the exam can be reopened.
Scenario 2
You just looked at your grade on a project; it was much lower grade than you anticipated. You do not understand why your grade was low because your tutor helped you prepare the project. Write a professional email to your instructor asking for clarification on your score.
Scenario 3
Prior to the due date, your instructor approved the late submission of your assignment.When you looked at your grade, points had been deducted due to the late submission. Write a professional email to your instructor inquiring about the late penalty.
Scenario 4
You were reading through the posts of your classmates, and you notice that one of them copied your discussion post – i.e. they plagiarized. Write a professional email to your instructor informing them of the situation.Be sure to provide the name of the fictional student who plagiarized, and explain what they did.
Use the following template when composing your emails:
| Subject Line: GID, Your Name, Course Name (Ex: GU101) Topic / IssueInstructor’s Name,My name is ________________________, G00012345…Explain what the issue is.Sincerely,Your Name |
Part 7
For this assignment, you will create a tri-fold brochure that explains to your classmates why college students need to complete General Education Courses.
First, go to the Grantham University Catalog and select three general education courses that you feel are significant to a college student’s education.
Then create a tri-fold brochure in which you explain why it is essential that a college student complete each one of these courses.Be creative; use pictures associated with attending college.Your brochure should be a professional document; grammar, spelling, and punctuation are important.
Use the brochure template to develop your tri-fold brochure.NOTE: While this layout does not seem to make sense if you view it as a flat Word document, recall that the final product would be folded.
Here are the guidelines for presenting your information. The pages of the linked template have been labeled to help you organize your brochure.
COVER
oThis is the front cover of the brochure.
oCreate an interesting title and include relevant artwork – entice the viewer to open the brochure.
PAGE TWO

Part 8 (MY DEGREE IS MEDICAL BILLING AND CODING)
In this assignment, you will need to access the Grantham University Catalog
You are encouraged to work with your Student Advisor on this assignment.
You are going to develop an Academic Plan showing the courses you will complete to fulfill your degree program.You can print this out and put it on your refrigerator to track your success as you go through college!
Here are the elements of an Academic Plan:
1.The first column lists the terms you need to complete the degree (usually 10 terms for an Associate’s degree; 20 terms for the Bachelor’s degree; these may vary with each student).
2.The second column lists the month/year of the term – noting if you need to take time off for other commitments (use the * and footnotes to explain)
3.The third column lists the first course you plan to take.
4.The fourth column lists the second course you plan to take.It is suggested, but not required, that you take two courses per term; check with your Financial Aid plan to see if there are requirements on how many courses you can take per term.
The Academic Plan is simply a table that you can create in a Word document.Here is a truncated example:
| My Name: | Joe Student | ||
| My Degree Program: | Bachelor of Arts, Strategic Communication | ||
| Month/Year of Term | Course #1 | Course #2 | |
| Term 1 | Jan 2019 | GU101 | CS105 |
| Term 2 | Mar 2019 | CO101 | PS101 |
| Term 3 | May 2019 | MA100 | EN100 |
| Term 4 | *Aug 2019 | MA101 | EN261 |
* I plan to take off the month of July 2019 due to a work trip I have to take but I will come back in August
