INTRODUCTION
Learning and development are two major crucial elements in academic life which helps
in overall development of personality (Baldwin, 2016). It is essential role of an individual to
focus on all major teachings and lectures in order to gain and develop knowledge related to a
subject matter. It is also one of the major role and responsibility of a person to use application of
knowledge in professional and personal life to get optimum results. In this report there is a brief
reflection on my learnings in Semester1 and Semester 2. This project also includes analysis of
how will I improve my learning approach and use semester learning in near future.

MAIN BODY
The reflection on learning of semester 1
I have learned several things in my semester 1 which will help me in increasing my own
value and knowledge. I will also take into consideration developing different skills which were
learned by me during Semester 1. The knowledge related to development of skills will make me
a distinct person in the career as well as in social and personal life. I learned about business
management and the way things are managed in an organisation in a practical manner. I will
apply Kolb's learning styles which contains four key stages in learning and development
(Cowan, 2020). In the first stage of this model, active experimentation stage is there in which a
learner focused on what he/she has learned. Under the first stage, I have learned knowledge of
business and different aspects of business management to manage large number of employees. I
am also prepared to focus on practical aspects of learning along with increasing strength of
business. In the second stage, concrete experience is developed by a learner which includes real
or practical experience related to learning. I have applied the knowledge of business management
in different areas and also learned practical aspects of learning. I have also developed several
skills like time management, decision making and problem solving which will help me in
increasing my practical approach towards business management tasks. In the Kolb's cycle, the
third stage is abstract conceptualisation in which a learner evaluates what is learned from the
experience (Deslandes, Lucas, and Mantzourani, 2018). I have learned several things from the
practical experience of my learnings. The last stage in this model is reflecting on experience in
which I have learned to reflect on my overall experience with practical aspects.
The way I will use those learning to improve outcomes of learning in semester 2
All the major things which I have learned in semester will definitely help me in order to
perform well in semester 2. I will analyse all major skills and studies which are developed by me
during the semester 1 and will implement them in a major sense. In order to implement learnings
of semester 1, I will take into account main supervision and control of different skills and
knowledge. I will also develop and prepare a major personal development plan at the starting of
semester 1 and also focus on them using key approaches, tools and techniques (Hansen, 2019).
This is one of the major role of mine to implement different skills which are learned during
semester 1 to support learning in semester 2. I will also focus on application of professional
