future learnings
1.1 Referencing: One of the core study skills that was found to be easy relates to referencing
style taught in the university. I have found this learning to be easy as it has a definite format and
excellent teaching style of my mentors. This will aid in developing my career as an academic
writer or blogger in the future.
1.2 Using the university systems: By following the university system, I was able to gain better
insights on various tasks assigned to me in the university. Through the use of university systems
like project guidelines, deadlines, etc. a professional approach for gaining learnings could be
obtained (Beynon-Davies, 2019).
1.3 E-mail evaluation: The respective study skills helped me to draft communications in a
professional manner. As this is the professional platform of communication, it will help me to
work in the workforce.

future learnings

operating workforce tasks. It is an important skill as it would carry workforce objectives that are
personal as well as professional.
2.2 Creativity: It is another difficult skill because in a competitive workforce environment it is
hard to be innovative. It will enable me to gain effective learnings in the future by defining an
innovative path to success.

guide my terms of workings under complex business situations in the future and thus is

performed at the workplace. For the reason being in some sets of activities multitasking is
healthful and in some, it is not.
3.2 Decent study point I would decide on a suitable study point for enabling a good
concentration of learnings for the remainder of the semester.
3.3 Organizing lecture notes: I will dedicate my efforts to obtaining effective learnings from the
lecture notes provided by the tutor (Duan and et. al., 2021).
4) Support provision needed for higher levels of education
4.1 Free and compulsory education: In this free and compulsory education should be provided
that will act as a supportive provision for higher levels of education.
4.2 Cooperation with education institutions: For this segment cooperation with several related
education institutions would be needed (Lancaster and Malcolm, 2018).
