BMP3001 Academic Skills and PDP Report: Goals and Development

This report, prepared for the BMP3001 Academic Skills and PDP module, examines the concepts of personal and professional development. It begins by defining these concepts and then delves into the importance of setting short, medium, and long-term goals, providing personal examples for each. The report further discusses the value of a Personal Development Plan (PDP) and presents a sample PDP with specific objectives and success criteria. Additionally, the report analyzes the impact of author, reliability, purpose, and relevance on the use of a source. The report concludes by synthesizing the key findings and emphasizes the significance of a PDP in achieving personal and professional growth, supported by relevant references. The report is a comprehensive overview of academic and professional development strategies.

INTRODUCTION
Academic abilities are described as the selection of resources for study patterns; problem solving
and learning techniques that help students know and develop exercises and lessons. In contrast to
this, academic abilities enable an individual to be effective and productive users and also
increase their level of trust in order to engage in different courses (Rose, Aizawa and Thompson,
2019). Personal improvement preparation is refers to as the method of developing skills , talents
and level of understanding in order to accomplish goals to achieve greater progress as well as job
success. This study highlights a comprehensive roadmap that addresses and explains the role of
preparing for personal growth. Finally, the source assessment would identify the intent,
significance, quality and other aspects involved.
TASK 1
Concept of personal & professional development
Academic and professional growth is ultimately a mechanism that leads individuals to devise and
learn approaches to engage collective objectives within the interests of an entity & organization.
In addition, it aims to enhance all facets of personal and career growth because of the milestones
that are accomplished over time (Son, Choi and Kwon, 2019).
Value of short term goals along with 3 personal examples
According to Richard Cleeve, 2018 short-term targets that are reached within the same short
amount of time are known as short-term goals and are used by me to efficiently execute &
complete work. The short-term methods are provided below:
Attending the class- The first target that I have accomplished is to take courses that aim to
develop academic abilities. Online instruction, in contrast to this, is also the basis of class
participation.
Demonstrate a picture- In order to maximize job prospects; another important viewpoint is to
create an image for the potential. In contrast to this, in order to reach success, personal
development is determined to be important.
Focus on goal- Another of the main tasks here is to promote professional development in order
to concentrate on reaching goals.

Value of medium term goals with 3 personal examples
According to Jane Smith's 2017 point of view, it is reported that one of the successful companies
offers a characteristic for performance by implementing an efficient strategy. A individual
creates a bridge among daily actions in relation to medium - term objectives that contributes to
success according to goals.
Improvement in research skill- In fact, a researcher performs investigations on a subject with a
motive to improve information. Study is primarily a mid-term objective, since people require
time to understand the methodology and facets of research (Anderson, Weimer and Fuhs, 2020).
Formulation of notes- The medium - term aim is to make feedback while giving presentations
and making notes about, as I face obstacles and problems. Consequently, medium-term aims are
to learn successful ways of producing notes.
Work for particular idea- Multiple approaches are created with unique perspectives, but
according to facets of studying an individual task. This motivates a participant to undertake
action alone as it helps to accomplish goals and also promotes personal development.
Value of long term goals with 3 personal examples
According to Minnesota State Professor, 2019, Long-term plans are described as aspirations that
a person wants to accomplish in the future which often require long periods of time. Here are the
examples given.
Create long term strategy- It is necessary to conduct work as per the set technique in order to
achieve performance & to build a skilled individual. It is assessed that the plan has been difficult
to implement and is therefore long-term.
To work as industry leader- It is a long-term ambition to develop technical skills and master
the idea of reaching the role of business leader.
To teach time management- This serves a vital part as it helps to reach goals over time.
Learning from everyday tasks is one of the origins of time control.

Value of a Personal Development Plan
The Personal Development Plan is described as a structure that helps to recognize an individual's
areas of success and limitations that contribute to advancement and developments (Ye, 2019).
Personal development plan
Objective Success Criteria Action Implementation
To join and understand
from virtual class
sessions
In order to be
successful, I stressed
online test solving. It
can allow me to
evaluate outcomes in
an optimal way.
I take courses through
the Zoom digital
network.
I examine holes from
the last lessons so that
by online courses I can
strengthen those gaps.
Notes generation To achieve growth and
innovation, the
production of details
will help.
When having the
lessons, I will provide
framework to develop
notes.
I would develop my
listening skills in order
to incorporate note
practise.
TASK 2
Describe & discuss how ‘Author, Reliability, purpose & Relevance’ affect the use of a source.
Different sources, which are voice, project & document, provide all the references being used by
prosecutor to handle and complete the job (Zhang, Huo and Wang, 2019). The source of the
entity is influenced by writers, intent, reliability & relevance. In order to devise strategies, goal
recognition, online learning and several others are effective outlets. It impacts the perception of
management as knowledge is not calculated. In addition to this, both scholars provide
contradictory points of view that generate uncertainty for researchers. The last factors that
influence goals are reliability and significance, since each person creates goals as per their
winning viewpoint.

TASK 3
Evaluation of each source
Author- The lowest effect is calculated as the author presents individuals with general details.
Aim- The feature of social training is to develop and learn about all methods and approaches of
learning.
Reliability- people have to take on a consistent variable as it allows bettering arranging all
services.
Relevance- In order to optimize learning for individuals, all aspects is significant & necessary for
industry.
Different sources have been implemented in order to devise plans that are often used alongside
this professional growth strategy. I have done work in different fields to help make general
progress (Lygeraki, 2019). Online learning is the main source for this, as it develops knowledge
and helps me understand learning strategies. Another viewpoint that helps improve knowledge is
personal development & strength. Personal development & personal review offer a constructive
approach to build individual contracts because, on the other side, it is an impartial source of
management.
CONCLUSION
It can be inferred from the above analysis that a personal improvement strategy is necessary in
order to evaluate strength and limitations. In addition, it can aid in implementing progress and
meeting targets within a given time span.
