BSc Business Management BMP3001: Report on Academic Skills & PDP

This report, submitted for the BSc (Hons) Business Management with Foundation course (BMP3001), focuses on personal and professional development (P&PD). It begins by defining P&PD and then explores the value of short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, providing three personal examples for each. The report also examines the significance of a Personal Development Plan (PDP) and includes a constructed example based on the student's goals. Furthermore, it analyzes how author, purpose, reliability, and relevance affect the use of a source. The core of the report is an evaluation of eight sources used in the report plan, assessing each source's author, purpose, reliability, and relevance. The report concludes with a list of references.
