INTRODUCTION
Reflection refers to reflecting back on your own experiences in order to learn from them.
In this individual reflection, I will analyse and describe the achievements of learning outcomes
of this module. The academic study skills module proved to be very useful and interesting for
me. It will help me and other to accomplish our goals and to succeed not only in businesses but
also in day to day tasks, because during these thirteen week duration we learned about many
things. I enjoyed and rejoiced a lot during these thirteen week session, because I found the
session very interesting and engaging. Starting from the very first week, we leaned about self-
management of ourselves and time and then coming to the last week, we discussed this module
from our mentor regarding its content and how to prepare them. During this session, we had to
do formative assessments in every week, which helped us in preparing this assignment and made
us understand about the purpose of this assignment. For example, during this assignment we had
to organize a debate, through which we got an opportunity to participate in debate and also to
work with strangers, that resulted in improvement of my communication skills and relationship
abilities. We also learned about effective team work and providing or receiving constructive
feedback. After this session, we were able to work efficiently in a team, while also accepting and
providing constructive feedbacks. After analysing different frameworks and models we chose
Kolb's reflective cycle, because we founded it easiest to use and appropriate for our assignment.
Kolb's Learning cycle basically states that, an individual always learn from his/her experiences
of life, even on everyday basis.
The main objective of preparing this reflective report was to assure myself about the
appropriate usage of skills that I developed during academic study skills session.

Kolb's Reflective Cycle
I have used Kolb's learning cycle in order to reflect upon whatever we learned during
these thirteen weeks of academic study skills session. For effective reflect writing I used this
framework. Kolb's Learning cycle basically states that, an individual always learn from his/her
experiences of life, even on everyday basis. It refers that reflection is an integral part and vital
part of learning. This theory/model was published by Kolb in 1984. According to this theory or
model, process of learning includes four stages, one of which states what Kolb refers as
