Development of academic skills
INTRODUCTION
Academic skills are basically a collection of the learning strategies, study habits, time
management tools and many more which proves to be helpful for the students to learn and absorb
the lessons taught in the universities. This is the responsibility of the teachers to include the
academic skills in the lessons so that the students master the certain concepts. This report will
include reflective writing regarding the development of the academic skills.
Main Body
Every time when I face the students, I realize that they struggle in understanding the
concepts and strive hard to cope up with the systems at institutions regarding the culture and the

note-taking, research, exam preparations etc. (Ribner and et.al., 2017). The SMART goals which
I set when I planned to develop my academic skills were as follows:
 After the end of this semester, I would become able to manage my time and plan all teh
activities according to the time.
 Before starting of the semester, I will have notes of all the subjects in brief which would
help me in preparing for the exams.
 After 2 months, I will able to research on the entire topics which are required in the
exams which would develop my research skills.
 Before beginning of the semester, I would realize that I must read all the topics not only
to pass the exams but must read for gaining information and understanding the concepts.
These goals can be achieved by developing my academic skills. I should not waste even a single
minute and in the vacant time, I must take part in peer-to-peer learning schemes may be as a
mentor or a mentee. This will help me in gaining more experience even in the free time. I must
make a schedule for the studies and extra co-curricular activities so that none of the activity is
missed and sufficient time can be given to every activity. I must research on every academic
