The list of strengths in reference to Arden University’s Graduate Attributes could be
clearly seen from the above table that there are certain professional, transferable and soft skills
that are required to be present in academic students to achieve excellence in the future. However,
technical, leadership, research and communication are some skills that need to be improved by
me over period.
Furthermore, three things that could be done to improve the above stated weakness would be
through:
 Talking to more people and collecting their opinions so that best learning and way of
working might be understood (Cirocki and Widodo, 2019)
 Learning certain aspect in detailed and in depth manner so that researching skills are
improved.
 Practising more on daily basis on various technologies' so that efficient learning might be
developed.
