Student Success: Foundations of Self-Management

This course walks learners through the behavioral concepts presented in Professor Roma’s book,’ ‘Student Success: Foundations of Self-Management’, (SUNY Press, 2023). The course is organized around an individual behavioral responsibility framework called the 5C Elements of Self-Management. Whether you are a student or an experienced working adult, the 5C Elements of Self-Management are the same: Communication, which conveys appropriateness, Choice, which conveys judgment, Caring, which conveys concern for others, Commitment, which conveys duty, and Coping, which conveys fortitude.

We all convey these elements of self-management to one extent or another. This course introduces you to these elements and the thirty-eight sub-variables that underpin the framework, explains why they are important to you, and describes how to identify and assess them in yourself and others.
