Introduction
In this fast running globe, competition level is taking the huge place &provide the
direct impact on the development of the enterprises. The primary motive of this report is to
highlight the effectiveness of this module named FY026 &also considering the specific
success of the University courses. With the help of this module, student can effectively
enhance their knowledge &understanding so that they can improve their capabilities. Through
this report, i will discuss how i will develop myself as a learner &also &furthermore, i will
reflect on how to approach the challenges & expectations of a university course.
In order to fulfil the requirements of this report, i will specify that how & why i have
developed as a learner during this module. With the help of this module i have generalised
that i have learn various things like identify the internal situation vai SWOT analysis &also
learn presentation skills, email &how to clear the interview session successfully. I have
analysed that i have improved my skills &competencies so that i can effectively boost my
performance as a learner. Throughout the sessions, I have improved my researching,
attention, communicating, goal setting, creative, recollection, organization, identity,
collaboration, administration, personal growth & IT skills as a consequence of these themes.
During this lesson, I learned about the Harvard referencing style as well as how
important it will be when citing other creative business in presentations. This topic helped me
to locate unique pieces of knowledge as well as appreciate other people's views &labour. The
reference lists enables me to demonstrate the breadth of my study by citing a variety of
sources, enhances my argument by citing high-quality materials, & aids in the development
of abilities such as writing, investigation, remembering, &critical thinking (Cottrell, 2013).
In this module, we created groups for class presentations &learned that we all must
work together to achieve our goals in the future. Looking back on my contributions as a
participant of this team, I can see that I had several strengths as well as many faults. I believe
that the presentation improved my IT, research, memorization, &verbal ability, as well as my
confidence in my expertise. As a result of my group presenting expertise, I can determine that
it has enabled me to develop my competence in a variety of abilities as half of a lifetime
education process (Shen and et al., 2019).

The second topic I studied in this session was reflections, & I have learnt about two
concepts in this area. Observation is necessary before, throughout, &after a teaching process
& determines how my fully understanding may have led to an unanticipated result. Gibbs
reflective Cycle has allows students to reflect on &analyse my experience, particularly those
that have occurred repeatedly. It also helps me to learn &prepare based on what has gone
successfully but what has not worked well enough in the past, & also how comparable
circumstances might be best addressed in the future (Knoll and et. al., 2017).
In order to maintain the effectiveness of my learning, i need to share my experiences
with the help of reflective statement. Apart from this i also further discuss challenges
&specific expectations related with the University course. I have observed that the there are
various challenges i have facing like time management, like of knowledge, lacking in
motivation, Infrastructure Issues, research skills, technical Issues & Digital Literacy, lack of
face-to-face interaction & also many others (Pears, Shields, 2016). In order to resolve these
challenges i need to maintain the hardships & obligations that come with a higher education,
as well as how I learnt what I did. This curriculum has supported my career growth as a
teacher since I began studying new things &socialising, & program has also helped me
maintain my concentration here on courses. The introduction, the middle section, &thus the
conclusions comprised three elements of just this reflective journal (Knott Scragg, 2016).
When I initially started this academic year, I had faced lot of challenges, including
understanding, learning, &deciphering curriculum specific to these topics, applying
appropriate proper teaching tactics, &adjust to the new environment &working on new
people. This event improved my opportunity to understand new knowledge all while helping
me improve my English & reading skills. One of my biggest challenges was figuring out
where to manage my time efficiently so that I might work 31 hours a week, drop my kids off
at school following school, &spend the rest of the time with family (Kotler and et. al., 2013).
My current expectations for this course differ from those I had when I was first started
since I imagined to trouble with the material & be limited in my academic tasks. I have
learned that the college's most important requirements are because I get it on early, pleasant,
attend courses, & deliver my tasks more effectively, &this is not a strain for me because I
3

already satisfy each of these requirements in my regular activities (Lodge, Hansen and
Cottrell, 2016).
The next topic I'd like to discuss is the interview, whose main goal is to predict
whether a candidate will meet job performance goals , for which all of the conversations are
using 10 largest research question & have same eligibility requirements, they remain neutral,
to only include doubts relevant to the job content or capabilities to perform. This has helped
me enhance my listening, leadership, organisation, personal development, &self-motivation
abilities, as well as prepare me for future interviews (Movchun, Lushkov and Pronkin, 2021).
Some specific challenge i also faced like student's programme for personal development
mainly assisted me in setting &achieving specific objectives, as well as take judgments that
would lead to a positive life. This training motivates me to increase my self-esteem &
confidence.
Conclusion
On the basis of this reflective essay, it is determined that 'learning may be seen of as
a procedure of communication wherein the knowing, analyzing, experiencing, &acting are all
various components with same experience'. I was able to illustrate how my learning
progressed through the reflective essay. The themes that I learnt helped me to gain more
information in order to best inform myself for obstacles that I would encounter, as well as to
improve my capacity to identify &exploit new opportunities. Learning new topics/skills every
day is a lifetime process, &I want to perceive education as a part of myself.
