INTRODUCTION
MAIN BODY
Section-1:
Use of library and electronic resources:
The use of library for me was very beneficial as the books and the other information that I got
from there was very good for me as a student (Sadullayevich, 2021). Also, the use of electronic
resources gave me benefits in many various ways like using the soft wares like ms office, online
resources helped me in studying the thing.
The best source of information used and its appropriateness:
During my session I have used the many resources for studying but the best way of resource that
was available for the information purpose was my teacher's guidance and per-suing my studies
under that informations. That guidance from the side of my teacher was appropriate one. The
resources I used differently like the internet websites and social platforms was also beneficial for
me in acquiring the information related to my tasks.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is known as of like copying some else, incorporation of someone's work without the
acknowledgement is plagiarism. I have avoided the plagiarism by using my experience and the
knowledge that I gained during this module and also by using the proper notes that I made in my
academic session (Albluwi, 2019). But whatever I have per sued during my academic session I
have done it by myself and I developed my skills and used a range of resources.
Bibliography and reference list:
Bibliography is list of the sources that I have used to generate the ideas in context of my content
and with relevance of the ideas those are cited and those that I have not cited in it (Ben-Dov, and
et.al, 2022). The references that I putted in my assessment is list that contains the only cited text
that is related to my text.
Planning:
Planning is a process to make plans for the further activities or the tasks to be done. The planning
that I have done in completion of my tasks resulted in many numerous benefits (Argenti, 2018).

Like, I was able to manage my tasks on time. The other ways I used in completion of tasks are I
made the plans, broke the projects in the list, and through proper working and time management.
Note making:
Note making is the process of connecting, synthesizing the ideas and reviewing the ideas and
information from over the lectures attended. I used this in recording the important points in my
class and this helped me in staying active during my classes and also in reading and revising
during my exams (Jiwane, D., 2019). These all clarified my key ideas. There are different types
of the note making skills like listing, outlining, the Cornell methods and the concept maps. Using
the outlining method in preparation of my notes I founded out easiest and the beneficial one as it
is to be done and convenient to find the notes for the further learning. The skill that need to be
developed is the listing as I founded it difficult during my session.
Section-2:
Reflection:
Reflection is about thinking process of students from their own perspective and how they show
that ideas of own to others (Gray, and Sanders, 2020). It helped me in experiencing the things
that I was not capable off and excel my knowledge in the areas that are required in my academics
and also in developing my personalized areas. During my assignment I used reflection by
reflecting on my knowledge and experience which I have gained during my learning session. I
have applied my experience in order to complete the given task overall it helped me to not made
same mistakes again.
Communication skills:
The skill in which the verbal communication is done by using the words for conveying the
message that includes the information in written and oral context. The communication skills
include listening, straight talking, emotional control, etc. There are the skills that I learned and
developed in me during my session like active listening, receiving and providing with feedback,
questioning and speaking (Pehlivan, 2020). These skills helped me in understanding and getting
understood in my session. My skill development also helped me in improving my self-
knowledge and perception. During my studies, I have use communication skills by ensuring that

I am capable of the things like in giving the feedbacks, talking fluently about the tasks assigned
and listening to the teachers and asking about the information required to complete my tasks.
Report and essay writing:
The essay and report should be in proper format and may be organized and flow smoothly and
stick together with the relevant topic. They contain an introduction, conclusion and the body
paragraph. These both that I wrote was in proper English, and the correct phase of English and
should be comparatively error free. The essays and report should be based on the focus,
coherence, unity, and development. These qualities of essay are important because they enhance
the quality of essay. I have been able to develop essay writing skills during my assignment
completion by doing the particular task that have been assigned to me for the particular tasks in
the session.
Debating:
The debate is a competition in between two teams. It is based on the arguing on a discussion. The
way I developed my communication skills helped me and my team during my academic session
to win the debate. Also in my online classes this helped me in engaging with the students in
researching. By the time I was engaged in my class debate I used my straight talking knowledge
and communication skills to take over the competitive advantage in winning the debate.
Presentation skills:
Presentation skills are basically the enthusiasm and honesty, focus on the audience, ability to
keep the things simple and personable and attractive body language (Ochoa, and et.al, 2018).
Having the presentation skills helped me in giving the best out of me during a presentation held
in my session and boosted up my confidence. I carry out presentation by ensuring that I have
adequate knowledge in the subject areas and engaged to my audience in the practical way. The
way I prepared out the presentation for my projects and the tasks was beneficial for me after
learning the presentation skills.
Time management:
Time management the process of planning and organizing the work according to time in between
different activities. Its basically working with less effort and on time. The strategies I used in
managing my time in completion of my tasks is setting the priorities, getting organized,

scheduling the things, stopped procrastinating, etc. and these all helped me a lot in getting
punctual with my tasks and learning.
Revision strategies:
The most of the effective way to learn is called as the revision strategies. Revision strategy that I
used during my academic session is started revising early, practising the old question papers,
making effective hand written notes. The Best strategy that helped me the most in revision
during my exams are making my own hand written notes.
Section-3:
Challenged faced by me during my studies:
One of the biggest challenge that I faced during my studies was the distraction. As of, while I
was studying I got distracted with most of the unnecessary things some times and that thing led
me towards the atrocious outcomes sometimes. This all distractions left me in situations where I
got late in studying and got on the back foot in context of my education and sessions held.
Strategies used to over come the challenges faced during the session:
Strategies that I used to overcome my distractions are I founded out the best environment for
studying, I used headphones to avoid unwanted noise from the areas. I also managed my work
with the to-do list and broke big tasks into the small activities to come with the best outcomes.
Support availability:
The best support I have is that I didn't give up during my hard times and my instructors, advisors,
local knowns, and colleagues motivated me a lot. My family members provided with all the
possible helps they may be able to give me while my sessions. My family members provided me
with all financial help and the respective study material that I needed in per suing my studies.
Gbs provided support to me in a way that it helped me to track my learning capabilities by using
the various types of assessment tools.
Time management and task tracking:
The way I developed with my time management skills my personal work force with regards the
task completion got perfect (Won, and Shirley, 2018). Through the management skill I was able
to manage the tasks on regular basis and on various stages from starting to completion of the
tasks. The way I was able to make the decisions regarding my tasks was good and I end with the
completion of the tasks in successful way.
