Personal learning and development plan is used for self analysis, personal reflection in
order to identified my key strength and weakness in order to make best use of opportunities and
threat. It helps me in taking deciding regarding the way I can improve my key skills and
capabilities to get higher success in professional career. Therefore, Personal development plan of
myself is as follows:
Strength

during the seminar I have identified
that my key strength lies in effectively
note taking which helps me to easily
write important point in sequential
order. Note taking is best skills that
helps me in noting and retaining
information for longer time frame
(Clark and Post, 2019).

competition level as there are
numerous students in university that
have more academic skills and
knowledge (Elfeky, 2018). There are
numerous brilliant student in
university that have good research,
digital and other skills which helps
them in getting more grade as
compared to others. Thereby I need to
improve my existing academic skills
in order to step ahead from several
other individual.

content or whether it is
rightly structured and
good vocabulary is used
or not.

need to enhance
