INTRODUCTION
The students require study skills that will help them to perform effectively and work with
confidence. At the time of studies, academic skills help the students to manage the work assigned
to them effectively (Cottrell, 2020). In this report, there is discussion related to the core skills
that are required at the time of education. All these skills help to work effectively in future and
manage the working of students. The examples related to development of the core skills are
mentioned in this report. Overall reflection based on the study experience in University is part of
this report.
MAIN BODY
The core study skills you feel confident in and an explanation of why you feel confident
The core study skills that I feel confident is communication skills. At the time of internal
assessments in the classroom oral tests are taken by the teacher to assess the performance. There
is key role of using effective communication skills so that good results are attained. This helps
me to present my learnings in effective manner. The teachers are able to understand the points
that I communicate due to effective interaction skills (Barrable, Papadatou-Pastou and Tzotzoli,
2018). These skills help me to feel confident as I will always be able to share my thoughts
effectively. Along with that, I have skill of using the online library effectively. It helps to
manage the studies in effective manner. This helps me to learn the content taught in the class. I
can read the extra materials provided to me and use them in best suitable manner. This enhances
my level of confidence and helps me to study at the time of examination in appropriate manner. I
am also good at reading and remembering the information. I concentrate in the class so that all I
am able to understand all the information. This also makes me feel confident as I am able to give
answer to the questions asked by the teacher in classroom.
Another core study skill that I am good at is time management skill. This helps me to attend
all the classes on time. The punctuality motivates to attain the objectives effectively and helps to
bring positivity while learning. There is key role of carrying the work with the help of time
management skills. This makes me confident as all the teachers motivate me and give my
example to others. Time management also helps me to submit my assessments on time.
