PART-2
Personal analysis
Personal analysis helps in identifying key areas in which my strength and weakness thus
I can find alternative ways to develop the skills in order to get higher success. SWOT model is
used to understand my strength, weakness, opportunities and threats in study and academic life
so that they can be improved for bright future ahead.
Strengths
Note taking : It can be stated that one of my
the strength is in note taking which helps me to
easily make notes of important points. From
my previous experienced I have understand
that I have capabilities to write important
points in sequential order that helps me
collecting necessary information that are
necessary for the examination or study.
Research Skills: Another academic skills in
which my strength lie is research as I am able
to find relevant facts and figure in limited time
frame. While making the project I get to know
that I have strength to make research on topic
or get relevant information (Kushe, 2019).
Thus it helps me in extracting, organising and
evaluating various information.
Weakness/ Areas for further development
On the other hand there are key areas in which
I need to improve in order to enhance my
academic and study skills.
Academic writing: I lack in academic writing,
as I am unable to effectively present my
reports, essay and research papers. From my
previous experienced I get to know that I need
to improve my academic writing in order to
present the content in more better manner.
Academic skills need to present in each and
every student therefore I have decided to
improve the same for fruitful outcome.
Reading and understanding information:
As per my perspective I found somewhat
difficulties in understanding the information
provided in the brief. I am unable to quickly
pick up assignment brief and marking brief that
acts as barrier in my academic and study.
Therefore, I have planned to improve the same
for better results.

opportunities which I can get in near future by
Threats

getting more and more important in recent

working on my existing academic and study
skills. Such as through effectively academic
writing I would able to write and present
content in more better and useful manner so
that it can be easily understand by others.
