Time management
Time management is a very important skill because there are a lot of aims and objectives
which are present in academic environment which the students must be having which results in
higher achievement. Individuals have to make sure that there are good skills present in them
which is going to be helpful for them. Direction is also going to be clear in them so that there is
going to be higher framing of work (Charan and Buriro, 2018). Time table is produced for the
individual with smart objective of making sure that there is right time which is being provided to
module so that there is going to be high results which is going to be present. Track of time table
has to be kept so that there is active to be good evaluation and measuring that is going to be
existing which is good to be able to achieve overall performance. Focus, Structuring, self- aware
and prioritizing are few important aspects or elements which an individual must consider so that
there are going to be higher transaction and functional that is immediate.
Managing time is crucial for everyone which is good to be able to operate and beneficial
for a long run as well. Individuals have a lot of important aspects which have to be covered that
can only happen when the individuals are going to have a better sense of direction (White and
Lay, 2019). Determination is going to make sure that the individuals are giving and planning
effectively so that there are active to be raised transaction and success which is going to come in.
Time bounded tasks will be able to get the best results as well if this skill is being used
effectively and that is effort to be a outstanding element for overall development as well. To be
able to get things done this skill is essential which is going to make certain that there are right
functioning and operations which are taking place and this is going to be a great factor for the
overall working of individuals that is going to be immediate. Clear focus and importance of work
is going to be present so that tasks can be completed on time that is going to make the overall
benefit be present and make the individuals be able to make the right decisions as well.

TASK 2
A) Advice for future students
The module is very interesting if there is effective time which is going to be given to the
module which is going to be very beneficial for a long run. Students must have the right skills
which is time management, captious intelligent, oral and written abstraction and difficulty
resolution ability have to be well analysed and used efficaciously so that there are going to be
higher information and betterment which can be done. Imagination and curiosity has to be higher
in the students so that there is going to be higher functioning and operations which the student
will be able to have and higher results can be achieved (McRae, 2018). Students in the future
must try, and find interest in the module so that there is going to be raised agreement which
would be present. Initiative has to be taken from the students as well so that there is going to be
higher operations and educate will be able to give in their champion for the module as well.
B) Academic skills
Learning from the module
From the module I understood the importance of time management and other factors like
writing and reading so that I can gather more information which would be useful. There are a lot
of skills which I have learnt and also I gathered the weaknesses I have to be able to make sure
that there must be right operations and functioning which would be present. Improvements are
very important which all the individuals must do but without having the right knowledge and
experience the individual will not be able to make the right decisions and planning to be able to
achieve them which is going to be helpful for the future as well (Oviawe and Uwameiye, 2020).
These learnings are going to be helpful for the future as well so that there are right actions which
can be decided and develop consequently so that there is going to be high achievement which
would be existing.
Felt throughout learning
There was a lot of expectations which I had from the module and thought was easy but
requires a lot of attention so that there is departure to be high understanding which would be
immediate. Problems raised will do the module and those had to be solved on time which is
going to be beneficial for the overall development and that individual will be able to make sure
7

that they have taken the right measures accordingly (Bratianu and Vatamanescu, 2017). Feelings
were of worry and tension of not understanding the module and finishing it on time which is a
very important skill which I developed from this module which can be helpful and used in the
future as well.
Strengths and weaknesses
 Strengths
Strengths are that during the module there was a lot of improvement in a lot of skills and
use of the right skill was also present. Using the skills is very important which is high and that
can be helpful in a lot of ways possible which is good for a long run. Using the skills and
knowledge at the right time in the module was a great strength which I had.
 Weaknesses
Weakness for the module was over confidence which is present in all the students before
any topic is discussed or introduced. Little knowledge is not enough which has to be reinforced
so that there is going to be raised accomplishment which would be there. Confusion in my mind
and perception for the topic made me face a lot of troubles as well.
Adapt approaches for future
There are a lot of advantages which are present for a student when they pay attention in a
module and that is going to be very helpful as well which has to be improved. Approaches to be
able to improve for the future is that there must be good planning so that sense of direction is
going to be higher and the outcomes are going to be higher than well (Hidayat and Susanto,
2020).
Conclusion
From above task it can be concluded that there are a lot of accomplishment and cognition
which have to be gained so that there is going to be high accomplishment and higher functioning
which is going to be immediate. Improvement and planning is important to be able to develop
effectively which is going to be accommodating for a age long attempt which is going to make
the satisfaction level be higher.

TASK 4
Avoid plagiarism and use Harvard referencing
 Plagiarism
It is very important that good track of sources is present in the on the job so that there is
going to be high results that are going to be existing. There are checkers for plagiarism which has
be used as well before submitting the work so that there is going to be higher outcomes which
are going to be present and that would be very helpful as well (Fazilatfar, Elhambakhsh and
Allami, 2018). Good understanding and putting out the information in own words is important so
that the way of putting out the information is going to be helpful for the others as well. There are
a lot of new ideas as well which can generate from reading out old articles and authors points
therefore if anything is copied then there must be good in text referencing which is going to be
required so that there is going to be higher achievement which would be immediate. There are a
lot of topics which are missing and have not been enlightened in the article, and they must be
added in later without having similarities. Lot of information which is gathered from online
sourcing which has to be analysed and evaluated so that there is nothing which is being copied so
that the end result is going to be higher than well. Even the copied images or any other
