They need to help students understand how their chosen study plan will learn aninteresting career that pays well. If they understand their career options/goals then theywill have a better focus on their classes. Career services should also organize shortseminars to help students better make the connection between their academic planningand their career goals.Another way to help make that connection is by

academic success, particularly within online learningcontexts where students must often self-regulate in the absence of structured face-to-faceinteractions [2], [3], [4]. The self-directed nature of online education requires students to notonly master content knowledge but also develop efficient time management strategies. Researchshows that inadequate time management skills correlate with increased stress, diminishedacademic performance, and higher dropout rates [5]. Therefore, understanding the specific timemanagement challenges faced by online students is important for crafting suitable interventionsand support frameworks.Time management entails a range of skills, including planning, prioritization, goal-setting, andself-monitoring, alongside

An analysis of the open-endedstudent responses showed that students claimed that they would change their design behaviorgoing forward. The student responses were grouped into three categories that map to theliterature of metacognition [10], [11], with most responses in “Planning”, followed by“Monitoring”, and then “Evaluating.” A sample of student responses include: “I will make sureto break up the time spent modeling to check other aspects of the problem.
