Assessment Deliverable
As a new University of Phoenix student, you're likely juggling coursework, a job, and family
commitments. Despite a busy schedule, your determination has seen you through the past 4
weeks, overcoming challenges with time management, goal-setting, and communication.
Self-reflection is an important part of learning. Reflect on your experiences in this course,
thinking about your successes and any challenges you overcame.
This assessment is different than the summative assessments you completed in Weeks 3 and 4.
Instead of completing an autograded knowledge check, please respond to the following
questions in the Submission box below:

2. Your goals matter! How do you plan to achieve short-term objectives and the long-term
success of graduating? Provide a detailed response in 150–250 words.

from the myBook in your response with 200–350 words.
