This essay aims to provide a reflective piece on my experience for PKSC module. It is seen that in
order to prepare for getting success in education and professional life there are many skills which all
necessary to present in an individual. This will help in working well at both academic and
professional level. This essay is going to evaluate my own experience during module classes for 5
weeks (Tang, 2019). This experience will help me in identifying my own strength and improvement
areas which needs to be developed in future. I will use call reflective morning which I will describe all
my expenses that how I Planned to learn and use my learning effectively at academic level.
In the first week of PKSC module, I attend the class of RM unify and office application which shows
how to know each other during the module. It provides introduction over all the module resources,
software’s and technological usage which I can utilise during my learning. This introduction helped
me in planning the whole learning criteria and be ready to use effective resources for achieve in
highest grade in university. I believe that the module in will help me achieving LSST goals. It will
help me how can present my thoughts and ideas clearly through enhancing presentation skills. Also,
how could I make effective use of Technology for saving my work in protected software.
As per the week 2 of PKSC module, I gained knowledge about digital literacy and technological
skills. I found that digital literacy is become an important part for all the learners to achieve high
standards to do work in effective manner. Digital literacy is all about learning and being familiar with
technological skills that help the learner to take advantage of various software’s like MS Word
(Falloon, 2020). I planned to gain knowledge about all the sources present in computer and
software’s in order to develop my own website. I learnt about keywords, content writing and manage
database. This was not easy task for me as I am not good in technical field which took me quite time
to being comfortable with all the technical software’s and start working on it. To improve more on my
digital literacy, I planned to involve in more of research skills to analyse and evaluate necessary
information from digital sources. When I engage in researching over many topics I find difficulty in
analysing the best source which could help my search. Therefore, my teacher assessed me and helps
me out in finding most reliable sources. Therefore, I always carry out my research work use technical
software’s by exploring its features and sources.
As per the week 3 of module, understanding about what reflection is and what role it play in an
individual life at University learning. Reflection is all about analyzing on strength, improvements,
skill set and knowledge which an individual reflect through being indulge in self
observation(Cottrell, 2017). I planned and think about reflect on my own experience during all the
sessions and lectures. This reflection helped me in knowing myself by showcasing my experience
through reflective writing. I have learnt about various reflected models like Gibbs, kolbs and others.

In my University, I got so many projects of reflective writing which made me learn about that the
overall reflection is a combination of description , feeling evaluation analysis and the improvements
required. I find kolbs reflected model helpful which consist four stages. So I prepare many reports in
which I planned, think and repeat what I have learnt as my reflective learning practice.
As per the week 4 of PKSC module, I learnt about academic writing skills. I am aware about the
importance of Academy writing in the life of a University student. It consists allot of criteria that must
be focused upon (Ebadi, and Rahimi, 2018). I plan to enhance my academic writing skills in order
to represent ideas and complete projects in a well manner. I first focused on being relevant about
information and avoid any act of plagiarism. Also, I Windows myself in preparing reports projects ,
essay and presentation posters and other MS Word documents. I focus on giving clear examples of
case studies and Critical evaluation. I found difficulty in understanding the term evaluation and
analysation but then I took help of my teacher which made me clear about this academic writing
concept. After that, i used to get practice of writing in good style, formats and using good vocabulary
in my writing. This practice helped me in being better to archive my project aims.
In order to put emphasis on week 5 this is the last but not least of PKSC module. It put highlights on
presentation skills which I learn through taking lectures and classes on learning various styles,
structure, formats that makes a good presentation. This is skill is necessary to write academic reports
and essay in a systematic manner while working and preparing for getting success (Çetin, and
Eymur, 2017). Presentation is an important part to showcase the overall thoughts and ideas presented
in a report. I find difficulty in giving proper structures to my essay which I learnt through this module.
As it does not consist any subtitles for headings so it become difficult for me arrange my topic
systematically. Therefore, I plan to learn this skill effectively and work more on making my reports
attractive. I took action to improve my presentation skill by undertaking feedbacks from teacher
which has significantly worked positively my learning.

helpful to enhance various skills. These skills are necessary for every individual to attain success in
university as well as prepare for future employment. Therefore the essay has reflected upon each
week experience which shows how the activities are planned and performed to enhance own learning.
