REFLECTION
This reflective is about the court module on Academic performance. In the semester 1 of
this module I have learned many things related with the skills and development required to be
possessed by me as a university student which includes time management, critical thinking,
research ability, analytical thinking, and problem solving. As a university student these academic
skills are of key importance for me as these will directly assist me in scoring good marks and
getting excellent grade in academic sessions. With this module studies have given me an
opportunity to identify area of improvements in my academic skills which are presented in the
form of SMART goals. The academic skill that I need to have is time managements and to have
critically thinking. This is because I sometimes miss out what teacher says in class while I am
taking the notes and t this creates a problem when I study in the future. For the time critical
thinking is needed to be developed so to take the notes as well get all, what is being taught in
class and to note down the important point.
The module has helped me in creating a better understanding, critically read, think, to
extract appropriate concoction from the reading and develop a synthesis over the skills for a
university student. I have detained the essential things that must be understood as well as grasped
by me to en effective university students as to get most out of my readings which will provide
me a guidance on structuring and developing the academic writing (10 Skills All Students Need
to Be Successful, 2018). The module briefed me about how to write convincing essay on given
topic taking effective notes in the lectures and when studying how to take, condense and use the
notes made in lecture. The Academic performance module have given me an insight as to
identification of my strengths, weakness, skills and problems, which directly leads me to
establish the achievements and improvements that I see to be considered by me in order to
develop my academic skills. For me to be a successful undergraduate in the studies matters a lot
and this specially requires effective monitoring on the coursework and lectures notes which must
be made by me during the lecture sessions. This gave me guidelines on self improvement on
respect of firstly making note and referring them while studying and effective time management.
The improvements and developments in my academic skills are determined by me in
SMART objectives as I need to develop time management skills for the studies and other works
offered in the class and to take lecture notes compulsorily. This change and practice will make
sure that important things do not get missed out as well as while studying I have get better

understating of the topics. For this I have decided of time of 7 lectures in which will try to take
note effectively without any lag. With this I will manage the time during the lectures as to not to
miss out anything said by the lectures about the topic and to note it as well. This is quite
possible to attain as other students practice this very effectively that helps a lot in further studies
and also during the exams. For this I have decided to take time of 7 lectures and in this time
duration I will manage both time and try to grasp each and every point related with my studies
and to note down the same.
In this reflective I have clearly presented the skills and developments that must be
possessed by me as an academic university students. The skills are many and for the
improvements in self have identified the area as time management and taking lecture notes for
improvising my academic skills.
