Developing Academic Skills: Importance of Learning Needs and Reflection

This presentation discusses the importance of developing academic skills such as communication, time management, and stress management. It emphasizes the role of learning needs and reflection in identifying areas for improvement and preparing a training schedule. The presentation also includes a development plan with specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound objectives for each skill. Resources required for skill development are also discussed. The presentation concludes with references for further reading.

Reflective summary
:Learning skills and needs is a difference or gap between current
skills or knowledge level as well as needed skills or level of
knowledge in a student for performing well in a task. For a
