INTRODUCTION
Academic skills is considered to be as the task which in turn is usually made up of the
core skills which in turn mainly includes presentation skills, academic writing, referencing and
presentation skills. This also tends to effectively underpin the key complex skills linked with the
critical thinking as well as reflective practice. This study will focus on the creation of timetable
for the study by applying significant time management techniques. This study includes podcast
script and self reflection upon own academic skills. The present study tends to mainly focus upon
identifying the three sources of information i.e., freely available online information, paper based
information, and academic database information. Lastly, the study will determine how to
effectively uphold academic integrity, how to reference in a correct manner and how to avoid
plagiarism.
TASK 1
The time management techniques have strong role to play within developing academic
skills and focusing on growth paradigms which bring on keen growth efficacy among worming
commitment scenarios, prioritizing functional parameters to bring on larger innovation growth
and profound development among working domains. It can be also analysed that in academics
there are various aspects of skills within time management working scenarios, which students
need to focus on for leveraging larger aspects of skills and new domains parameters for academic
skills working horizons (Alrashidi, Joy. and Ullmann, 2019).

TASK 2
The lecture and students working coordination have strong role to play for bringing on
informative growth on completion of modules, projects and research work within academic
excellence which will enable as one of the major aspect for bringing on larger vision oriented
efficacy. The following is a script where conversations of both lecturer and student can be
identified (Sedgley, 2020).
Lecturer: Academic learning module is highly essential within working scenarios for learning
informatively various subjects, ideally framing new competency horizons and also for delivering
performance excellence. There will be various resources such as Software, reading materials
and videos, recordings which will enable students to learn various new informational efficacy
parameters.
Student: Yes, we are looking forward to have experiences and working knowledge on various
subjects and working criteria for enhancing working potentialities within subjects, which we will
practice further under your guidance.

Lecturer: I am happy to hear your responses , you all need to get note pads to record all
information and data which we will be exploring,. I hope you all are excited to bring
information and gain various skills within performance horizons ?
Students: Yes, we will be attending all classes and lectures effectively, and take guidance form
teachers which will enable us to engage confidently.
The academic skills and learning gained form this module were highly informative and
strongly diversified for bringing on high scaled growth efficacy within my performance horizons
and also to potentially develop larger keen work growth synergy widely. I was able to read
various web sites reliable information and learning’s from various potential sources where time
management skills will enable me to be confident further. While working within leaning journey
i was able to interact strongly with my supervisors and team mates , to acknowledge goals
widely among new domain (Sekarwinahyu, Mand et.al., 2018).
I also potentially learnt about new skills such as confident learning potentialities within
various subjects and various aspects to be potently practiced further among my professional
career. While learning academic skills i used online sources and internet as one of the best
metrics for larger goal functional arena for bringing on competent knowledge, for enhancing new
scenarios within competitive goals. I analysed that my writing and time management skills are
stringently advanced, also further i was able to interactively work ahead within my team mates
and supervisors. The module learning motivated to broaden my vision towards various other
subjects , of developed work domains and creatively enhance my learning potentialities further.
I was attentive towards my course studies within academic courses and also to informatively
work on varied new efficacy goals, targets to be dominantly working ahead within varied
aspects. There were various new enlarged metrics for functional strength of vision oriented goals
profoundly motivating my quest goals actively. I was also able to yield focus on varied arenas
by keenly working on specific functional domains, within various competent avenues for
academic excellence and professional excellence among diverse scope goals. The projects within
module also enabled me to competently be advanced , focused on new metrics of functional
divergent parameters and also develop new scale promotion scenarios for competitively bring on
commercial growth. There is best growth developed determinants within module writing which
have promoted my vision for larger business efficacy, on which new functional growth

development will enable me to be competitive within my performance arenas (Cathro., O'Kane.
and Gilbertson, 2017).

TASK 3
Paper based information: It is considered to be as one of the key primary measure
through which it helps in storing the key relevant information (Scott-Parker and et.al, L., 2017).
This information is easy to handle and can be useful in gaining wide degree of information in
association with exploring the issues of climate change. The student must focus on effectively
applying the Cornell method which tends to focus on providing systematic set of format through

which data can be organized and condensed in a proper manner. This method is considered to
review and record the notes. It is prominent to effectively pull out the major ideas and concepts
in a simple and efficient manner. It also useful in effectively summarizing the key points from
the paper based information in a justified manner (Swim, Geiger and Lengieza, 2019). The
credibility of the information was considered to be highly justifiable. Where the author of the
book has used legit sources to gather relevant data associated with the exploring the issues of
climate change. On the other hand, one of the biggest advantage which is associated with the
paper based information source is mainly linked with the theft and damage risk, lack of storage
space and poor environmental condition.
Freely available online information: It is considered to be as an online set of information
linked with the data which has been provided over the internet (Hasan and Kumar, 2019). This
source is significant in effectively providing well reasoned theory, thorough, argument
discussion, etc. which is based upon the strong evidence.
Determining the effects of climate change.
Climate change is considered to be as a change within the average conditions like rainfall
and temperature within the specific region over a long period of time (What are the effects of
climate change?, 2020). The direct consequences linked with the climate change mainly includes
rise in maximum or minimum temperatures, high ocean temperature, rise in the sea levels,
shrinking glaciers, increase in heavy precipitation. However, the indirect consequence linked
with the climate change in turn mainly includes increase in hunger and water crisis, health risk
with rise in the air temperature as well as the heatwave, increase in the spread of pathogens and
pests., etc.
The Outlining note taking method will be used because it is considered to be as the
significant technique. It is considered to be as a well- organized system. This method is useful in
reducing editing and it is useful in reviewing the main turning points.
As per the CAARP guidance, the online information are considered to be credible
because it helps in verifying that, the information is collected from the reliable sources (Glasgow
and et.al., 2018). The information source used related with the issues of climate change is
accurate and reliable. The information used and gathered must be compared with other sources
and the reliability is also dependent upon the recent needs. The information or the sources which
has copyright must not be used. Also the source from which information is used must not be

older than 5 years. One of the biggest advantage of this online source is that it can easily get
access to the information and leads to reduced cost.
Academic database information: This is considered to be as one of the key significant
source which is relevant in the significant degree of collection of the information. This in turn
has been commonly used for the writing and research (Hurlimann and et.al, 2018). This in turn
is significant to widely gain access to the academic journals. This source is considered to be
incredible for gaining in- depth degree of knowledge and complete research associated with the
topic.
What is that thing called climate change? An investigation into the understanding of
climate change by seventh-grade student.
The students of the research has analysed that, climate change is the major conseqence
associated with the modern life (Özdem and et.al, 2014). It is important to make people aware
about the climate change and necessary action must be taken.
The charting method of the note taking is considered to be prominent for this source
because it is useful in comparing the various academic database associated with the similar topic
(Bolarin and Daudu, 2019). This way it helps in evaluating the understanding and knowledge of
the information linked with the study. This method helps in reducing time associated with
editing. It is significant because it provides easy review mechanism.
As per the CAARP guidance, academic database information is considered to be
significant because it tends to contain large number of research which has been written by the
professionals. Academic database information source are considered to be highly credible
because the publisher tends to check the content to ensure that the data is accurate and reliable.
The key sources to gain academic database are google scholars, websites, bibliographies, book
reviews, articles, etc.
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded that, timetable for framing stronger base within academic skills,
where there are various new skills and targets analysed, along with further conclusion of varied
new determinants such as advanced thinking parameters and larger functional development.
Paper based information is prominent to effectively pull out the major ideas and concepts. Freely
available online information source can get varied degree of data with the use of internet.
Academic database information is useful in gaining in- depth degree of complete information

associated with the topic for generating stronger working innovation and new metrics of larger
scale focus innovations to promote new efficacy within longer run.
