What is a common effect of not seeking help as a WGU student?

Not seeking help as a WGU student often leads to feeling overwhelmed. This can occur because students may encounter challenging course material without the support or resources that can aid in understanding and mastering the content. When students grapple with difficult concepts or assignments alone, they might struggle to keep pace with their studies, leading to stress and frustration. This overwhelming feeling can hinder their ability to focus, comprehend, and perform academically, ultimately affecting their success in the program.

On the other hand, options such as increased confidence in subjects, improved academic performance, and better time management are typically outcomes associated with seeking help. Engaging with mentors, peers, or resources can boost confidence, enhance understanding of complex topics, and facilitate better organization of study time and tasks.
