Myself as a learner
Study skills are very crucial for the success of any student in the University (Cooker, 2015). At
the beginning of year 1, semester1, I had improved on my study skills because I spend a lot time
researching more about efficient study skills which I applied during my first semester in the
University (Erten, 2015).
In a sentence or two explain which skills you feel you are better able to cope with now
and which you feel you still need to develop
Better to cope with now
Interaction skills has enabled me to collaborate with my fellow colleagues in the University
which has enabled me to learn much from them.
Another important skill I have adapted is time management skills which has enhanced
efficient balance between class work and time for my friends. Proper time management has
enabled me to create time to do my personal research at the University library.
Team work skills has enabled me to participate effectively in group works which have
always given my best to the group.

Skills I still need to develop
Presentation skills
Performing presentations especially for the assignment given in class is the main challenge I’m
facing now. Performing oral presentation for an assigned task in front of the whole is something
I’m still learning because I’m not out spoken and as a result in most cases the audience struggle
to hear what I’m telling them.
Briefly explain how you will use learning from your Understanding Self and Others
module to develop your study more effectively in the second year of your course.
Having understood my weaknesses, I’m planning to research more efficient techniques to adopt
when performing presentations so as to be efficient in my second year of study (Gregersen, and
MacIntyre, 2015). I will also do an extensive research on academic success which I belief shall
of great significance to my study skills in my second year of study.
