I have major strengths related to
learning and that is consists of,
understanding the topic. While
making learning I used to understand
the topic so, I can become able to
understand my topic and learn it in
effective manner. Furthermore, I have
the effective communication skill that
helps me to discuss my doubt with
my tutor. As a result, this helps me to
overcome from my doubts and
reduces the barriers from my learning
ability.
I have major weakness related to my
learning which has been found in the
formative feedback is that, while writing
answers I describe accurate points.
However, my writing skills are not
professional enough and this provides the
impact over my performance. Thus, I will
make notes of my learning so, it can lead
to provide the impact over my writing
skill. This will enable me in order to
express my learning in professional
manner.

various opportunities for me that are

important to increase the learning ability
as it directly provides the impact over
the final results and final results are
highly useful at the time of getting job.

skills as well. Thus, I will make
a keen focus over increasing my
confidence level. I will make
