5. 1. What Is Academic Self-Management?
Academic self-management is to view academic learning as something students do for themselves rather than as something is done to or for them
It does not matter if the instructor is a poor lecturer, the textbook is confusing, the test is difficult, the room is noisy, or multiple exams are scheduled for the same week, successful learners find a way to excel
Self-management strategies used to become more successful learners often generalize to their personal and work lives 5
