PART 4: Academic and Reflective Writing
Writing a self-reflection
Refer to Session 1 of Skills Audit: Write a self-reflection on the academic skills you ✏️
developed during the study of this module.
The reflective writing should include the points mentioned below:
1. Identify your academic skills that you have attained by studying this module.
This module helped me develop my knowledge about academic integrity and its
importance in our lives and academics (Nelms Edwards, Mintz‐Binder and Jones, 2019).
Further this module enabled me to enhance my writing skills. In addition, my communication
skills and intellectual knowledge enhanced too. Now I am able to communicate effectively
with my other classmates.
2. What has gone well, and why?
My organisational and time management skills supported me to cover the assigned
projects within the time given (Ilcewicz, Poirier and Pailden, 2018). These skills are very
important for the completion of tasks in an effective and efficient manner.
3. What did not go so well, and why?
The only problem faced by me during the module was that there were times when I
had to take quick decisions and as I already mentioned, my decision making skills are not
good enough.
4. State, from your experience, the lessons leant by you by studying the module of
Academic Skills Practice.
I am able to communicate effectively. The most benefit to me was that I am able to
ask and solve my doubts regarding projects which help me give better results and
presentations.
5. If there was an option, which action will you like to take ahead to Year 1?
I would like to take paraphrasing to the following year. It is an important topic to
cover and helps to do the projects in a better manner without any plagiarism. Credibility to
the author must be given.
