The written description of experience is help to make proper and effective learnings
which is deeply happens in every situation. Integration of information by using appropriate
sources which is help to enhance and support the academic presentation of work. For I thought

collect various academic information through which make proper and effective reflective
writing by proper observation of work. For making appropriate work I need to build my
research skills in correct format is help to use academic sources. Academic sources are very
important and effective for me to provide academic work (Reflective model according to Kolb,
2017). As per that, my University is guide me for collecting academic sources. With the help of
this, I am able to present attractive and better work in front of whole class by including all
relevant skills which are important to topic. This is very helpful for me to complete effective
and valuable work by managing more effectiveness. Without academic collection work is failed
and not completed in appropriate manner by using more effectiveness for works. This situation
is arisen by not collecting appreciate works in project format. This can create various negative
aspects which are not good for me to presenting work. I have various skills which are help to
me for complete professional work in effective manner. My teacher and seniors are said that
academic collection, research skills and academic sources are help to make positive growth of

avoidance of plagiarism from work context. My University and teachers said that, it is very
important make the best project without any similarity of work by making proper academic
integrity of work. In respect of that, I have need to know about those strategies which help to
for reducing and avoid plagiarism for work context (O’Dwyer, Pinto and McDonough, 2018).
Avoid plagiarism is better for my future to create proper and effective professional work. The
similarity is reduced attractiveness of project. For that I have to use synonyms of every word
which can I used in the text for reducing plagiarism. Plagiarism is not created academic work in
reality context which is not good and effective for manage proper work. On the other side,
using Harvard referencing is support my work to make very professionalism manner and
presenting academic work format. For that, my University is provide instructions to use
academic sources and Harvard reference in work context by managing appropriateness of work

understand that I have various skills which are help to me for manage and provide appropriate
working strategy. Those are creates more effectiveness for me to understand work. I analysed
that I am weak in collecting academic sources related to topic and creating more effectiveness
for work. I need to avoid plagiarism by using synonyms of words, for that I have to learn more
about work. I put various efforts for design effective power point presentation by using various
presentation skills which are more important and effective for me to complete work. At the time
of writing, I put various characteristics of academic writing for managed work and reduce
complexity of work by avoiding jargon from context. Here I build more accuracy of work to
build more appreciate work format. Those are helping for building work in appropriate manner
in my future.

As per the analysis, I have evaluated and analysed all the important and effective skills
in appropriate manner. In respect of that, I have power point skills, effective research skills,
better integration of work and with academic sources. Those are help to me for understand. For
building more effectiveness I need to improve my some skills and understanding which are help
to managed work in appropriate manner (Sledge, 2019). Improving skill, I need to make some
strategies with the help of those I can improve skills.
