Introduction
A learner’s life is filled with an excess of learning opportunities that support in their
academic development. Academic skills include writing, learning, listening, speaking,
developing an interest in particular art, reasoning, etc. (Amini, and Samani, 2021). This report
focuses on a variety of academic skills that students can use in real life, like taking notes,
recognizing information sources, and telling the difference between real and fake sources. This
report also includes an evaluation of topics like paraphrasing and referencing as well as

There has been a significant increase in the amount of readily available information for
users in recent years as a result of technological advancements and strong marketing strategies in
the market. Information can be obtained from a variety of sources, including the internet, books,
publishers of magazines, encyclopaedias, new papers, depository libraries, and so on
(Suntheimer. and Wolf, 2020). However, the negative aspect of this development is that the
uploaded fake and plagiarized content renders all of these sources unreliable. Information has
been further divided into two categories based on its dependability on the source sources of
information that are trustworthy and those that are not consistent bases of data for instance,
matter that has been available by valid writers connected to the areas. These are the bases on
