Welcome! In general, please provide context to your question and let us know what you have already tried.

Hint to the exercise: A module over $A$ is the same as a $k$-vector space $V$ together with a $k$-linear endomorphism $f: V\to A$ such that $f^n=0$. Now apply what you know about normal forms of nilpotent endomorphisms of finite-dimensional vector spaces.
