INTRODUCTION
College is a place where a person can enhance all his or her skills and knowledge to
achieve all the career goals and get growth in future so that all the career aspirations can be
attained. I have always been a keen learner and a good observer. My learning skills have been
developed during this module because it has helped me to improve my grammar and the general
things that are required to form a proper sentence. There are various punctuation marks like
comma, fullstop, apostrophes etc. that are very common but every student make mistake while
using them. All of them are used to form an attractive and specific sentence in which the
observer can understand the whole report with the help of a single conviction. While formulation
a sentence it is very important to have knowledge of tenses. I have also learned about the
appropriate use of tenses which is required to formulate proper sentences (Quesada, 2013). All
of these skills have also been developed while studying this module as there are various specific
contents to learn. My tutor has helped me to enhance my skills and to overcome weaknesses. He
has assigned me home work and I have practised the whole work at home so that I can enhance
my knowledge about grammar. Information about use of capital letter has also been increased
while I was studying the module. All the learned information have helped me to write an essay
and to make a plan effectively. My knowledge and skills to research properly has also been
enhanced with the help of proper study of this module.
TASK 1
What we Learnt
While studying in university I have learned various things like power point and
classroom presentations, group work, online learning, referencing, reflection on the studied
material. All of them have resulted in favour of me and enhanced my skills that will help me in
future to achieve my career goals. I had a good experience of attending class at my college
because all my lecturer are focused to provide right information and guidance to all the students
so that we can become more confident. Efforts of my teachers have resulted positively because it
has built confidence in me which is because of class room presentations that are compulsory for
every student to give so that they may overcome their fear of public speaking. It went extremely
right for me as I was not good in formal speaking and now I have become more extrovert. It has
enhanced my oration skills so that I may put my point while I am in a discussion and in the class

while I am giving a class room or power point presentation. My writing and reading skills have
been enhanced with the help of proper knowledge of punctuation marks and use of tenses. Now I
am able to write a report effectively that may help the reader or observer to get right information
about the topic which has been followed by me while writing the report. Writing an essay is a
very tough work because it required properly formulated sentences. All the learnings are very
useful for me because now I can write an effective and structured essay or report with decently
developed sentences. All the learned elements helped me to get developments like career,
professional, personal and to be more competitive among all other students. Now I am able to
analyse all my effective skills that may help me to achieve all my career aspirations and goals.

TASK 2
What went wrong
A few things went wrong while studying this module like I am not able to use power
point effectively, not have enough knowledge of those web sites that are required to find right
sources to add in references and effective skills to research. It is very important for me to learn
all these things so that I may become more professional and competitive. It may also affect me
while writing report on specific topics. Second opportunity in future can help me to get
information and enhance knowledge about all these elements that I was not able to learn. For me
it is very important to enhance my those skills that I was not able to improve previously (Garcia,
2016). I will acquire some skills in future like effective communication, proper knowledge of
power point and effective capability to research on specific topics. I may become more confident
with proper support and guidance of my teachers.
CONCLUSION
A chance in future will be very beneficial for me because this will help me to work on
those elements that have not been learned or acquired by me in first time. This will enhance my
ability to research and knowledge about the online learning websites that are required to add
specific content in reports that are going to be generated by me in future. I will try to enhance my
knowledge about power point which has not been acquired by me in previous session. It is
possible with the help of my tutor and teachers who may guide me to improve my knowledge. I
will try to get proper information and training of using power point from my teachers so that I

can use is properly. As I can prepare a presentation but I was not able to set the layouts for slides,
for this I need to get guidance from my lecturers. In future I will work to improve my
attentiveness so that I can enhance my skills. It is very important for me to modify the skills so
that I can work with more involvement in the work which is going to be assigned to me by my
lecturers. I will also work on my confident that I loose while giving a power point presentation in
the class room.
