professional development?
1 I have learned what paraphrasing and
summarising mean and how to avoid
plagiarism. It was an interesting
experience.
I practised all of them and I
felt confident, it is not hard
at all, it is something that I
have learnt and
implemented in my
academic life.
I did not feel weak doing any
of them.
I will start reading books, this will help me practice
more of Paraphrasing, summarising, and avoiding
plagiarism. This will help me a lot with my future
assessments.
2 This week I have learnt how to
critically evaluate sources of
information and to apply
paraphrasing techniques. Also, I
understood the requirements of the
first formative assessment.
I was good at paraphrasing
techniques as I learnt this
when I was in secondary
school.
I felt a bit nervous about
understanding the
requirements of the first
formative assessment, this is
my very first one.
I will keep practising, I will also attend workshops on
Academic skills, and get books from the library to
make myself more confident about this topic.
3 I have learnt how to cite correctly in
SSU style and the reflection point,
academic integrity, and its impact on
the academic work.
Not sure if I was good at
any, it is something new for
me, I will keep practising.
I am not confident in any of
them.
I will keep practising to understand them better as this
is something that I will need in my future assessments.
Look into Solent reference guide from the library or
google search.
4 I learnt about CV, understood the key
sections needed and how to produce
my CV following the UK standard
format, and also identified the do’s
and don’ts in a CV.
I was quite good at it,
already I had a good CV.
After the session, I
upgraded my CV with more
valid information.
I did not feel weak adding
information to my CV.
By including extra
information, I felt I made my
CV look better for the
employers.
I felt really interested in adding more information to
my CV. It looks professional, and it will help me get a
good job.
5 I did analyse reflective sample and
identified the stages of reflective
models, understood how my final
project is assessed and developed
self-awareness by completing self-
I understood all of them, it
was an interesting seminar.
I was not weak at any of
them.
This seminar helped me to understand how my final
project is assessed and this made me feel much
confident doing it as I know where I have to work
more.

assessments online.
6 I learned what a LinkedIn profile is, it
was quite interested to learn about it,
I did not know how much can help me
in my future career.
It was easy to understand
what it is about. There is
nothing complicated, once
I got into the website, I
followed step by step and I
builded my profile.
I did not feel any difficulty in
creating my LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn is something new for me, but exploring the
website made me understand better about it.
Definitely I can say that my new LinkedIn profile will
help me in my future career finding a good job.
7 This week I practiced how to use eye
contact, body language and voice in
order to engage the audience in a
presentation. Also, I was trying to plan
my presentation.
I was good at eye contact
and body language, is
something that I use every
day.
I am not confident recording
my voice. I am planning to
make quite few voice
recordings until I feel much
confident.
Being confident with eye contact, body language and
my voice will help me with my presentation.
8 I learned about Power Point Design
Principles by Solent, how to evaluate
the effectiveness of Power Point slides
and how to apply the PPT design
principles to own presentation slide.
I was good at discovering
all about PPT, it is very nice
as I can choose different
colours or designs.
I felt confident using PPT. I will still practise using it as most of the assessments
are in PPT and I must learn to be able to use it
correctly.
