Reflection on my individual performance, behaviour and
experience in education at LSST
In this essay, I will discuss my experience on PSKC module. I will also explain how I have developed as
an effective learner during this module, giving examples. In my reflection, I will look back in time and try
to understand my strengths and weaknesses. Then I explain how I will develop myself to meet the future
challenges and expectations of a university course. My explanation includes the actions I planned. This
piece of reflective writing was influenced by Driscoll’s model of reflection (2007).
In the first week of courses we focused mainly on what BA(Hons) Business Management with Foundation
Year means. Being a student for the first time it is very important to know the profile I am going to study,
the benefits it will bring me in the future, how it will help me in my future management career. We were
presented with basic things regarding the access to the online platforms of the University, basic elements
in the use of the computer. All the things I learned in the first week help me to be more confident and how
to manage this during my four years of studies.
In week two the lecturer introduced us to digital literacy and technology skills. During this lesson I
learned about the importance of knowing literary writing skills, about how important it is to know where to
look for the correct information, where to store it and how to check it. The work done in class determined
us to put into practice what was presented. Another important thing was the presentation of Excel, a
program very often used by students over the years of study.a very important aspect presented was the
Microsoft Office platform and how we can use it for free. The lecturer showed us how we can send emails
through the Outlook application and how we can connect on the university platform to find all the
information we need.I gained this week very important knowledge that will be useful to me and will make
me a confident student who can handle himself when he has questions and these can not be clarified by
the lecturer .
For week three, the lecturer prepared us as two important topics "How to use immersive reader" and its
benefits and “REFLECTION” . Two activities took place during the course, one aiming to recap what had
been discussed a week before where our attention was put to the test and another in which we were
asked to reflect on ourselves. We were presented with how important reflection is and what is its role in
academic study, the practicality of reflection and Driscoll's Cycle of Reflection.During the lesson we were
presented with the 3 questions " what? so what? and now what? " basic questions when it comes to
reflection. This week we learned how important it is to reflect on everything that happens to us so that we
