Independent Learning and Its Boundaries:

Independent learning refers to an individual's ability to take charge of their own learning process,
making decisions regarding what, when, and how to learn. It involves self-motivation, self-discipline,
and the ability to locate, evaluate, and utilize various resources effectively. However, there are
boundaries to independent learning. These boundaries include limitations in access to certain
resources, the need for guidance or clarification on complex topics, and the necessity for occasional
collaboration or discussion with peers or instructors. Additionally, not all subjects or learning styles
lend themselves entirely to independent learning. Some topics may require specialized guidance or
practical demonstrations that are challenging to achieve independently.

Internet Skills for Online Classes:

In an online class setting, several Internet skills prove beneficial. These include proficiency in
navigating learning management systems (LMS), conducting effective online research, discerning
credible sources from unreliable ones, using communication tools like email or discussion forums,
managing time efficiently while working remotely, and being mindful of online etiquette and privacy.
Additionally, being adept at troubleshooting basic technical issues can prove invaluable in ensuring
uninterrupted participation in online classes.

Personal Experience with University Challenges:

At university, I encountered various challenges, including adjusting to a more demanding academic


workload, managing time effectively amidst numerous assignments and projects, and adapting to
different teaching styles. Balancing extracurricular activities and social life with academic
responsibilities posed a significant challenge. Additionally, the transition from a more structured high
school environment to the independence and autonomy expected at university required some
adjustment, particularly in terms of self-discipline and self-motivation. Over time, I developed
strategies to manage these challenges, including creating schedules, seeking guidance from
professors, and establishing study groups to enhance learning and address difficulties.
