This afternoon I went to meet my Academic Advisor for assessment. During our conversation, he asked me whether I have prepared for the final exam. Suddenly I realized that I have not prepared for the final exam. In fact, all I know right now is to do my assignment and busy with other commitment. This is when I started to get worried and my Academic Advisor gives me some advice by saying that I need to sort all my activity and put prioritize on my study. This really makes me realize that I have a problem, which I have to solve as soon as possible. Problem-Solving Model
Stage 1 : define the problem
I started to realize that I have neglect about my study (revision, doing tutorial) because I am more focus to do my assignment and other commitment. A question from my Academic Advisor really makes me think that final exam is just around the corner and yet I still did not do anything to prepare for the final. The main problem is I have trouble to manage my time on study, assignment and other commitment.
Problem statement: in this case, the problem is that I should start managing my time more effective to prepare for my final exam. However, the reality is I did not manage my time effectively and this makes me neglecting my study.
Stage 2 : Analyze the problem
Answering some of the question from Kepner-Tregoe:
How big is the problem?
For this problem is very big since it is about my study and it will effect my CGPA if I do not perform well during the final exam.
What event cause this problem?
My bad time management really make me to not doing revision since I ‘m more focus on assignments and commitment to other activity I have joined.
How long has it existed?
This problem already existed since the middle of this trimester where I started to ignore on my study (did not do revision, tutorial, etc). However, I only realized about this situation today and it really make me worried.
Stage 3 : Identify possible solution
Solution 1-focus only on study
Solution 2-make timetable to manage my time more effective
Solution 3-just go with the flow
Stage 4 : Decide on the appropriate alternative
Solution 1-focus only on study (2:2)
Advantage: make me well prepare for final, do not have to think about other commitment.
Disadvantage: people will say I am not committed with my commitment of the program I have joined, might get bored if only focus on study all the time.
Solution 2-make timetable to manage my time more effective (2:1)
Advantage: still can join other activity, still can focus on my study.
Disadvantage : must follow the timetable
Solution 3-just go with the flow (1:2)
Advantage: I can decide when I should study anytime I want
Disadvantage: time management is still bad (problem is still not solve), might make me not prepare for final exam.
After doing my analyzing, I decided to chose solution 2 as my solution because I still can concentrate on my study and other activity if I have prepare timetable for my study and as long as I follow the timetable.
