Scheduling a project concurrently can be problematic because many potential problems might arise with a critical component of the foundation. For example, issues with the frame of the house that are not immediately apparent until construction is well under way may arise. If constructions on other areas of the house that are dependent upon the frame have been taking place, these might need to be undone to ensure that the problems with the frame are taken care of. Thus, the result may be additional expenses and delays rather than meaningful savings.
Scheduling is indeed necessary to ensure that projects do not go over time or over budget. However, I would disagree that scheduling is always sequential in nature. Many times, projects contain overlapping elements. Various aspects of the project may need to be completed concurrently. Regardless, there are always contingent elements that are necessary to be completed for a project to move from Point A to Point B. Before a project is embarked upon it can be helpful to identify critical areas that must be attended to in a timely fashion to prevent extended delays. Without a schedule and an overall map of the project, potential problem areas cannot be identified.

Adults With Learning Disabilities It has been estimated (Adult with Learning Disabilities) 1 that 50-80% of the students in Adult Basic Education and literacy programs are affected by learning disabilities (LD). Unfortunately, there has been little research on adults who have learning disabilities, leaving literacy practitioners with limited information on the unique manifestations of learning disabilities in adults.

The author points out that other extracurricular activities including sports and music can enhance student achievement. However, if time is not properly managed academic achievement can suffer greatly. To combat this issue students and their parents must make sure that extracurricular activities do not interfere with schoolwork.
