INTRODUCTION
Reflection refers to an activity which is associated with appropriately and effectively
analysing and evaluating past experiences, which enables them to realise the negative and
positive elements associated with the same, that in turn helps them in development of action
plans for future growth and prosperity (Woronchak and Comeau, 2016). Moreover,
employability and study skills are essential for an individual as it helps them support their
professional growth, along with future career. Hence, in this regard, the report below is based
personal reflection on a range of skills, using Gibbs Reflective Model, that is a framework which
is used for effective reflection upon past experiences.

theories and concepts on relevant aspects. Furthermore, they are required to enhance the
competence and individual intelligence in terms of the concepts that have been studied within the
module. Furthermore, the module also indulged the students into several activities which
required collaboration, as well as sharing of different resources and tools which was a new
experience for me altogether, as I have never worked in such a professional way before. Another
contribution of this module and the previous task is upon the employability and study skills,
which were required to be used and implemented throughout this module in an active and
appropriate manner (Padden-Denmead and et. al., 2016).
Feelings
Within this section, the feelings of individuals throughout the experience are reflected in
an effective way (Cheng, 2017). When the module began, I was very nervous related to studying
