Cultural and behavioural
expectations of studying
for a degree in business
management
I have come to understand the
meaning of culture which refers to
the experience or characteristics of a
group or community that they share
with the members to understand the
world. I have learned Culture is a
way of understanding of ourselves as
an individual and as members of
societies which includes religion,
media, rituals, language and so on.
Therefore culture has a significant
role in my life because it influence
my views, values, humour hopes,
loyalty, fear and etc. Every person
has its own perspectives to see the
world differently.
The culture impact the behaviour and
actions of the students in the
classroom while interaction with the
teachers. I also get interacted with
my teachers where I got to know
about cultures in the classroom by

The importance of peer-to-
peer support and team
working to enhance
learning experience
Peer to peer learning is a learning
technique which promotes
collaboration among the team
members to gain knowhow of
performing work. A learner provides
good understanding and information
from the concepts to answer the
critical problems. However, in my
academics I got to know the
importance of peer to peer working
which are described as under:
Teamwork: I enable myself to work
with a team which provides
motivation and boost up the
confidence level to solve the
problems and overcome the
challenges. I can share my ideas and
perspectives with the team and learn
from them as well.
Peer to peer feedback: It provides
me opportunity to share my feedback
over the learning skills and
knowledge that help me in
understanding to accept the new and
Morden abilities of performing the
work. This learning help me to be
good team layer and assist me in
compromising to get the things done.
Gaining new perspectives: This
help me in enhancing my learning
experience by gaining different
perspectives of the team members to
solve the problems. This is an
effective key to support diversity in
the classroom and also in
organisation.
Teamwork provides me
an assistance in future
studies and career
which are delineated as
under:
Learning by teaching
others: I will be able to
share my knowledge
with the other persons
and the employees in an
organisation which help
me in growing towards
the career because
sharing knowledge
clear the concept in
depth and enhance my
knowledge and make
me able to think
critically. I can
strengthen my skills
through the experience
of sharing knowledge
among the participants.
Cost effective
training: In a business
organisation, peer to
peer learning is more
affordable than any
other training because
an employee like me
can easily ask question
regarding the quires.
Less money is required
in this session and
employees are able to
learn more skills.
Therefore, by sharing
my response with the
teammates I will be
able to see the various
ways to solve the
critical problems and
able to bounce more
easily.
In a classroom, peer to
per learning indicates
when the students teach
to the other student
where the more
advance student
explains the concept to
the weak student. In the
workplace, employees
teaches the colleagues
which arte recently
hired. However, there
are following ways to
implement peer to peer
learning at the
workplace which are
depicted as under:
Assign a peer mentor:
An employee must be
provided a mentor to
perform the work
smoothly. A mentor
can teach the new hire
about the work done so
that he may get able to
do such work. This will
jhelp the new employee
top cultivate the
knowledge and skills
with their colleagues
and mentor.
Use an on boarding
platform: A business
concern should provide
the on boarding
learning platform
where they can share
the important
information about the
company culture to the
payroll information.
This will help the
employees about the
company and feel more
comfortable. The
teamwork also allow
the employees to create
collaborative learning
communities which

help in boosting the
level of productivity.

SWOT Analysis
I am able to think
critically which help me in
analysing and scrutinize
the information. It helps
me in decision making and
provide me opportunity to
enhance the problem
solving skills. It makes me
enable to brush up my
skills and creativity which
provide an effective key
for the career
advancement. I have also
flexibility which help me
to adjust with the changing
environment.
I have lack of focus on the work due
to which I am not able to do my
work smoothly. This lack of focus
sometime fall me behind from my
peers and they are able to get their
goals in time.
My weakness is a fear of failure
which always come to my mind
while doing any work. It creates
negative mind set which doesn’t
allow me to go ahead to achieve the
set objectives and create Burden over
me.
Learning provides me
an opportunity of
developing
communication skills
because continue
reading and interaction
with the peers and team
members enhance the
ability to communicate
and also build
vocabulary. It also help
me in managing time
for doing my work
which I can do
according to the
schedule.
There is a threat for me
of Lacking of internal
communication
because sometimes I
am not able to express
my opinion in front of
others.
