INTRODUCTION Preparing for success at University is a study of planning and execution of the tasks which are required by a learner to conduct in order to prepare for efficient success (Ford and et.al., 2012). In this reflection report, two tasks are covered using Gibbs reflection model. Reasons and techniques are given that how and why a learner is developed from the module of preparing for success at University. Along with which future challenges in University are also analysed(Piaget, 2013). TASK 1 Description In order to achieve success at university level I have adopted different strategies and proper schedule regarding my activities and task that has helped me to enhance my knowledge. Along with my official subject material I focused on basic but valuable things such as my reading skills and grammatical part. Additionally, within grammar I started from scratch like I read about noun, verb, adjective, adverb and then I proceed to formation of appropriate simple, compound and complex sentences by making the proper use of subject as well as verb. Furthermore, I learned the use of punctuation marks and various abbreviations. These were the part of my grammar subject on which I worked hard to enhance my knowledge. Along with this I am putting significant effort to improve my reading skill. This skill will not only improve my pronunciation but it will also help me by enhancing my understanding as well as concentration level. For instance, if anyone aims to modify theirreading skillthentheymust havesomereadinggoalliketoenhancingthe concentration of an individual. By putting all my efforts in understanding this module, I have developed as a learner. The above efforts are the main techniques behind making me a learner.

an interesting subject but it includes various rules which at times we need to cram. I am good in understanding things but not in cramming due to which I was an average student in my history subject. But I somehow managed it by constantly revising the rules along with that my intrinsic motivation and determination helped me to enhance my knowledge.

TASK 2 Analysis This module is not the ending of my learning. There are various other module andaspects arealsopresent whichIhavetoconsider inmy University course. According to my experience in understanding the module of “Preparing for success at University”, I have observed some challenges which can be faced by me in near future in University course. The major challenge which I am going to experience is my poor communication skills(Cho, 2015). Besides this I will even have to face challenges of 2
adaptability and cooperation. With enhancing level of my course, expectations of my University course will also be increased for me.
