them. Similarly, I
will be

developing the
skills I have to
work hard and
with great
dedication.
Use of Formative
feedback

is the evaluation
which is done at the
time of course or
during the course.

feedback to the
students regarding
the things which they

and which will be
helpful in developing
my future(Sereda,
2020). The formative
feedbacks are
important and which I
realised after knowing
the fact that the main
use of formative
feedbacks are for
providing the actual
feedback to the
students. With the
formative feedback I
have realised the things
which I have to develop
and that things includes

learn by just studying
in the University. I
have also learnt some
of the skills which are
important to me and
which is important
for my growth and
personality. The skills
which includes the
communication,
decision making are
developed in the
University without
learning something
and making focus on

and not going to
waste any time on
doing something
which is waste.
I will make the
identification of the
weak points (Sharma
and Sharma, 2020). I
have realised that it is
important to make the
reflection on ourself
also because that will
make us realise of the
things which we have to
develop and the things
which I have to change.
Not just this but it
might be possible that
the skills which I will be
developing can help me

ways by which I
can develop my
skills is also
important.
Otherwise, there
are chances that

not at all useful. I
have learnt that
the skills which I
will be
developing are
those which can
help me in my
future.
