Introduction:
Personalised learning is that form of educational approach which can be customised
according to the need or the strengths of students. Every student is different and
requires a new learning plan which can help them in learning in a more easier way.
This has been seen in many areas where the students who found out difficult about
the subject which their teacher is making them learn. This can be because of any
issue as they can find out difficult to grasp the things at faster pace or they are find
hesitating to ask the questions about the topic from their teacher. With the help of
personalised learning students find it really very easy because the learning plan is
made according to the requirement of students.
Week 1
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.
The first week is all about the personalised learning which helped me in making
identification of strengths and weakness which I am having so that I can become an
effective learner. This learning was all about to make the identification that in which
think I lack so that I can make the development on that area(Quinn, 2016). This week
was all about to make the personal development plan in which I have to write about the
weakness which I am having and in that I have to also mention that how much time I
will take to make that weakness into my strength. This will be helpful to me in making a
target that how much time I will take in the completion and development of learning
which will be useful to me in achieving success. The other which also I have to add is
the resources which I will have to utilise in order to fulfil the criteria.
Week 2
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.

The second week is about the importance of reflection which is important to students in
identifying the factors in which they lacks. The skill of making reflection on myself will
be helpful to me because with that I will be able to identify my weakness and with this I
can make improvement(Sharef and et. al., 2020). I further learnt that it is also
important to make the self assessment on oneself so that the individuals can make the
understanding about the things which they have to develop and what changes have to
be made on oneself. I learned about that why it is important to make reflection and
after making the realisation I developed that there are some of the skills which I have
to make and on that basis only I have developed those skills also. I also realised the
strengths of mine which I can use it in many ways in the area of new opportunities.
Week 3
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.
In the third week, the discussion was made about the personal SWOT analysis which
is useful in making the identification about the strengths, weakness, opportunities and
threats. The analysis of SWOT is the most important thing which helps in the personal
evaluation of a person(Soler, 2017). I was also made learned about the SWOT
analysis in which I have to identify my strong points in which I can achieve success
and how this can be useful to me in my studies. The other part is the weakness which I
have to learn including the identification of weakness. This has helped in making me
learn about the skills which I have to develop so that in future I do not have to struggle
in making the choices. The other is opportunity which I will have to analyse that how
and what are the different opportunities which will be available to me including the
threats.
Week 4
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.
In the fourth week, the session was made about the academic writing which is about
the writing that is used in educational purpose. I learned that how the academic writing
needs to be made which covers that it must be focused and planned in an earlier stage

which I found to be important in the academic writing. I have learned that what is
required the most in academic writing is that it must be in a structured form so that the
writing which will be made is in accordance to the structure which will make me
understand about the topic easily(Huda and et. al., 2018). I analysed that why it is
important to be able to think in a critical way so that the academic writing can become
in a best way. While attending this session, I realised that why it is important to make
improvement in academic writing. I also learned that why it is important to make
planning in academic writing.
Week 5
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.
In Fifth week, the discussion was made about the writing skill which covers all the
knowledge and ability to express oneself. In this session, I learned about different types
of writing which is important to be learned by a student. The writing which I have
learned is about essay and reflective writing which are whole different and I learned
about these two type of writing. While attending this session I realised that it is
important for me to learn the writing skills because I know that with this only I would be
able to score more in my exams(Ronksley-Pavia, 2020). If my writing skill would not
be effective then in this case I would not be able to get good grades. I know that if I
would be able to develop this skill of mine then this will help me to develop my
emotional growth and will also be helpful to me in increasing my critical thinking skills.
Week 6
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills.
In the sixth week, I learned about the concept of plagiarism which is to copying the
content of some person in one's own assignments. This in University is not allowed
and is considered to be academic misconduct and if any of the student conducts this
thing then they have to face some real problems(Kurilova and et. al., 2017). In the
session I learned that why plagiarism is not considered to be good and how it ruins the
development of a student. This has helped me in realising that the students who

conducts such type of activities are the one who does not makes any development in
terms of learning and gaining anything. On the other hand, I also identified that why it is
important to not do such things so that I can make development in my learning. I
realised that if I will not be making the conduct of copying someone's else work then
with this I will be able to make development of my own ideas.
Week 7
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills. Use a minimum of one academic source and reference this.
In the seventh week, I learned about the types of plagiarism and which ways I have to
use so that I avoid making any use of the different types of plagiarism. In the
discussion I learned about the different types of plagiarism which at some point of time
I have also did which will be counted in an academic misconduct(Chawla, 2018). I
have realised that when I will not be working with any of such type of plagiarism then
with that I would be learning about each and everything by myself. I will be learning
about each and everything on my own and because of this I will be able to make
development of my own. I analysed that if I will not be working with any of the types of
plagiarism then this will help me to gain the level of my confidence and also give me
the sense of pride.
Week 8
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills. Use a minimum of one academic source and reference this.
In the Eight week I was attending the session on developing presentation skills in
which I was being taught that why it is important for the student to develop the
presentation skill(Jones and Castellano, 2018). While attending the session, I learned
about that how developing the skill of presentation will be helpful to me in developing
the level of my creativity and it will provide me different ideas about how the
presentation can be made in a perfect way. The session also told that if I would be
able to develop my presentation skill then with this I would be able to gain more
information about that particular topic and this is because of the fact that it will help me

to conduct more research on that specific topic. Presentation skill requires collecting
more information because with that only the presentation could be made correctly. The
development of presentation skill will also help me in my future.
Week 9
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills. Use a minimum of one academic source and reference this.
In the Ninth week, I developed the knowledge about the skill which needs to be
developed for giving the interview. In the future I will be applying for multiple jobs in
which I am interested and to get selected in those jobs it is important for me to develop
certain type of skills so that I can give the best interviews(Sharef and et. al., 2020). In
the session I learned different types of skills which are important to me and which will
be helpful to me. The skills which were taught to me were those which I already have
only some changes and learning is required in it and some of the skills are those which
I have to develop. The importance of developing the interview skills is that I will feel
confidence in it and I would not be hesitating in any of the questions which will be
asked to me.
Week 10
Please describe in less than 200 words what was discussed in this session and how you plan to
develop these skills. Use a minimum of one academic source and reference this.
In the Tenth week, the session was made about the employability skills and
competencies which is about the skills that needs to be made in the individual so that
they can become employable. This was the last session and the most important one
which will be helpful to me in my near future. It is because after the completion of my
studies I would be applying for the different jobs and would be getting the employment
in some of the organisation(Soler, 2017). This will be useful to me because I will not
have to find any difficulties in my new job because I will be having inherited in me the
skills which will be useful to me during my employment time.

CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that personalised learning is important for
the students so that they can make development and achieve success in future. This
helps the students to identify that in which knowledge or skill they are lacking so that
they can develop it while making interaction with their tutor.
