INTRODUCTION
Academic skills holds immense importance in academic performance among students
recently, where report will present examination in detail based upon varied types of goals
competitively. The study will determine in depth research on usage of sources and accurate
referencing, and how accurate sourcing further brings efficiency in studies within academics
among students.
TASK 1
Concept of personal and professional development
Personal and development can be understood as procedures to enhance overall productive
efficiency aspects variedly within working targets, for creative upsurge and stronger
enhancement among professional framework. Professional development also enables individuals
to be motivated, for stringent specific growth determinants variedly and expand key business
frameworks variedly. Concept practically brings on rise towards determining fundamental
growth standards diversely and expanding key business synergies rapidly, within personal and
professional aspects actively for diverse growth (Mistry, 2021).

Value of short term goals and identifying 3 personal examples
Short term goals are framed for short period of time, to be achieved within span of short
period target for overall productive growth competently. The time targets for completing short
term goals are limited, where stringent focus is evolved on functional growth rise diversely for
new strengthened rise among working optimization. Examples of short term goals are learning
specific language or skill, for better performance in subjects within academics and to attain
desired learning effectively (Pylväs and Nokelainen, 2021). Earning certificate or degree in
desired career pathway, which further opens up scope for diverse advancement specifically
within growth opportunities fundamentally.
Value of medium term goals
Importance of medium term goals can be analyzed to be highly crucial for overall
specific growth standards, where they are worked on in around 6 months’ time period to bring
confident growth rise evolved. Medium term goals prepare individuals to be further focused and
be practically prepared for attaining long term goals actively, synchronize specific fundamentals.
Examples of medium term goals are: achieving higher percentage in studies within career,
expanding key professional acumen in desired job and attaining new skills practically worked on.
Medium term goals are more time driven as compared to short term goals and also less than long
term goals, which further engages timely driven results (Wakely, 2021).
Value of long term goals
The long term goals hold essential importance for improving long term growth
confidently, enhancing overall productive aspects within working goals confidently in career
benchmarks actively. Value of long term goals can be understood to be diverse, optimized for
strengthened performance in key long term goals completion and achieving key career operatives
significantly for diverse paradigms innovatively. It is highly crucial for long term goals to be
optimized within structural aspects innovatively, bring on diverse specific key fundamentals in
shape and determine key goals creatively. Examples of long term goals are completing
international education courses, learning new language and course, gaining confidence
competently on long term performance parameters fundamentally (Khosronejad, Markauskaite
and Reimann, 2021).

Value of PDP
Personal development plan can be understood as tool for improving overall career
performance, where skills and professional abilities prepare individuals for attained productive
goals variedly within significant growth domains. PDP also practically outlines strategy for
achieving objectives, to strengthen up targets and functional approach diversely towards
untapped growth horizons. By evolving through PDP individual are able to further strengthen
career horizons variedly and be attentive towards optimum efficacy goals, diversely for untapped
benchmarks completion. Professional development plan also opens up scope to attain
professional skills rise evolved, and generate stringent growth goals from new specific domains
variedly for untapped professional diversification (Hoosen and Crouch, 2021).

TASK TWO
Author, purpose and reliability and relevance affects the use of source for strengthening
productive engagement diversely and to bring rise in sources holding high accuracy benchmarks
variedly for strengthening competitive efficacy. Sources hold accountability, within parameters
connected as per author, purpose and reliability and relevance as it further heads on profound rise
towards structural growth goals variedly (Beagon, 2021). Name of author enhances accurate
information within source and also purpose, reliability and relevance which further also expands
key determinants towards untapped professional growth scenarios. Use of source can be also
understood to be highly essential for productive growth efficacy aspects innovatively, which
further extensively plays strong role towards attaining stringent rise diversely. It can be also
analyzed that source accuracy also is determined with author, purpose, reliability and relevance
which are the key operational parameters signifying functional scope diversely.
In academics, Author and purpose, reliability and relevance for attained stringent
efficacy aspects innovatively which also synchronizes functional growth determinants actively in
academics. Use of source also signifies aspects correlated towards attaining optimum targets
where author, purpose, reliability and relevance further opens up scope to significantly bring rise
diversely. A source accuracy, can be also signified productively by heading on toward scaled up
aspects where academics efficiency revolves around author, purpose, reliability and relevance
scenarios variedly. Sources in research enables to identify new structural growth paradigms
dynamically, significantly bring on operational pace actively and determine key untapped
technical standards effectively. The analysis of sources in academics, opens up scope for larger
working efficacy productively and generate stringent rise diversely based upon optimized
domains (Baxendale and et.al., 2021).
