INTRODUCTION
When various lectures are attended by individual then their level of knowledge get
increased due to which they make a path of developing their academic skills. Through the
process of academic development, opportunities over varied filed can be occupied and future
challenges can be faced in easy manner and success opportunities can be inhaled. This report is
involved with critical reflection by which ways are described that can be used by learner to
develop their knowledge. Besides this these approaches can be helpful in meeting future
challenges and expectations .
TASK 1
How a person developed as a learner
In the world of competition, for attaining success own skills are required to be developed
in continuous manner. In learning classes of various field learning abilities can be developed
through which knowledge level can be amplified. As a leaner I have undergone classes in well
known organisation which is BUKS university. The course which I opted is foundation in
knowledge and creativity (August and Shanahan, 2017). Communication skills are taken as the
most extensive part of this university in which whole the instructors are dedicated to enhance
speaking and listening abilities of students. In this reference professors are generally focused on
delivering theories in professional development courses. Besides this teachers are explaining
regarding public speaking and corporate speaking abilities and tactics related to the same. So by
registering over this concept of study real life experience can be attained by learner in respect of
speaking abilities. This helps the learner to communicate in such a manner that behaviour can be
moulded at varied situation. For the major purpose of enhancing communication skills, teachers
are performing various activities. For instance, Teachers are creating real life scenarios in which
varied roles are given to individual and they are required to perform in professional manner
along with performing their assigned role. This helped me in making my communication skills
more effective (Sense and et. al., 2016).
These activities draws effective role in enhancing learning and communication abilities.
Besides communication skills during my foundation course I emphasised on my writing skills.
Under this tutor gave various lesson regarding enhancement of writing skills along with
grammatical errors rectification. Along with this some of the basic requisite concepts were also

undertaken and these concepts are essential in order to complete a sentence without prominent
error. This involves punctuation knowledge, grammar, apostrophes and many more. Along with
this knowledge regarding past,, present and future tenses were also given by teachers and these
helped in developing my writing skills and reading skills in significant manner (Donohoo, 2016).
On the other hand, in order to create sharpness learner is required to be creative. In this
context, lectures of BUKS university are using digital technologies through which they are
making learning process more effective and prominent. By making attractive power point
presentations I enhanced my creativity and developed knowledge regarding working in
renowned organisation. This shows stages of life for various entrepreneurs and regarding their
family background and experiences and various aspects. The major objective behind this is to
encourage us in order to make an effective path within difficult challenges and finding out ways
to overcome from them in effective manner. This aspect is motivating me in order to become a
successful person and to attain prominent position within large organisation.
TASK 2
Approaches for future challenges and expectations
After completion of foundation course in BUKS university I have undertaken varied
understanding regarding personal and professional learning. I worked on various skills such as
technical skills, working ethics, flexibility, determination, creativeness and many more. Besides
this various personal elements were also enhanced such as working under pressure, decision
framing skills, resolution of conflicts, motivation, adaptiveness and many more. So these abilities
are helpful for me to enhance my saturation point and will help me to deal with varied operations
in appropriate manner (Dosovitskiy and Koltun, 2016). These activities are generating creativity
in my working thorugh I can provide appropriate solution to the business in their faced problem
that is having positive implications over overall effectiveness. Management and leadership
capabilities are helping me to face future challenges and to deal with different situation in
effective manner. For instance, If the companies are willing to inhale varied modifications in
their process in order to enhance business performance then leadership skills could be helpful in
motivating employees so that changes can be adopted by them in early manner. In this situation,
advantages and disadvantages of such changes are required to be communicated. This may help

me in providing support to the business in their development and attainment of goals and
objectives of the business.
Along with this personal skills which I have undertaken within foundation year this
helped me to maintain flexible environment at working place. Teachers helped me to exhale
significance of ethical behaviour at workplace as this element is leading to work in prominent
manner (Pilonieta, Medina and Hathaway, 2017). Tutors have made me learn regarding
performing interaction in order to develop strong relationship with each other. This process
helped me to attain chance of attaining prominent position at workplace through which I can lead
a team in respect of attaining common goals and objectives. Under classroom programs, real life
situations are created by tutors in which decision making activities are taught. Similarly this is
associated with elements by which judgement can be drawn regarding applicability of erroneous
policies which renders negativity at workplace. In these group activities I have learnt regarding
developing abilities to frame effective decisions.
CONCLUSION
From the above report this can be concluded that for every individual developing their
skills and capabilities are one of the crucial task which is required to be undertaken in continuous
manner so as to deal with success opportunities. Under this purpose varied learning classes are
undertaken by a learner through which academic and professional skills can be enhanced. This is
helpful in accomplishing knowledge regarding creativity and effectiveness. Besides this personal
and professional capabilities are also required to emphasised through which effective
opportunities for enlightening career can be grabbed.
