subjects belonging to specific modules in rightful manner. It is essential for every learner
to emphasis on different learning areas so that they can improve it in timely manner that

How and why you have developed as a learner during this module
As being learner, I have developed many skills during overall session of the
present module. In this, initially I got to know about interpretation and its significance in
academic context as well as in regular based life style of people. From this module, I got
to know that data interpretation is considered as the part of every individual which is
being taken by them as the process of taking out sensible information out of gathered
information . This is effectively done by gathering and analysing overall data especially
in the numerical data. In context of business perspective I got to know that data
interpretation is mainly supporting in developing understanding overall financial
information that further helps in decision making. As a result, it can be said that by
having effective knowledge on data interpretation and its usage it is easier for me to
take rightful decisions. Apart from this, I have also developed many of the other skills as
well that are not helpful in academic life but will also support me in my professional area
too. Learning thought this module have also supported me in developing IT skills,
English Skill, some basic words used in Essay, team working and class discussion,
presentation skill etc. All of these skills are supportive for me in scoring higher grades in
academic zone and this will later on help me out in executing my professional duties in
rightful manner in the near future. For developing these skills my teacher have initially
develop our knowledge on the importance of these skills so that I can easily perceive it
in rightful manner. While talking about the time when I was developing these skills, it
can be said that it was not easier for me at all because every skill require its own
expertise that is not is easier for every individual to have. In order to pursue them all in
adequate manner, I have communicated to lot of associated people about my

weaknesses in the same area as they observe me maximum time of performing
activities. This have further supported me in exploring areas of improvement that further
contributes in learning. In addition to this, it can also be said that with my own
experience that before the start of this module as I was also having some effective
command over some of these skills.
Apart from this, for developing above stated skills I have indulge into numerous
of sessions like group discussion, role play and other interactive sessions within the
University in order to develop my existing skills in appropriate manner. These sessions
have also allowed me to explore my weak areas that are required to be developed by
me as they are very essential in academic life. Later on, it can be said that awareness
regarding these weak areas has supported me in developing these respective skills in
rightful manner. By developing these skills I can easily obtain my future targets of
academic life also I can go for the further enhancement in success of professional life
too. By obtaining all these skills I can also achieve my personal targets too that is better
life.
Further reflections on how to approach future challenges and expectations of university
course
Apart from the above made discussion, it can be said that in order to overcome
future challenges I will prefer to work hard on the learning associated with the subjective
module of university course. This will also help me out in developing my own knowledge
on expectation and significance of university course in academic and professional life.
This will also contribute in success of professional career. In order to approach future
challenges I will indulge into some interactive sessions with my team mates in which I
will use try to conduct discussion on different challenges that might indulge into future.
As a result, this interactive session will aware me about all possible challenges that
might occur in future along with their best possible solutions. Furthermore, I will also
prefer to indulge teachers and faculty members in the interactive session that will
support in understanding that what the present university course is about and what is its
significance in the real world. While approaching these future challenges I have faced
main issue related to lack of individuals support in the interactive session. This has kept
me away from the information which has delayed in my own learning practices. In order

to tackle this I have communicated to my team mates and informed them about its
relevance in my learning in appropriate manner.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of above described report, it can be said that learning is considered as
an essential part of every learner that will support them in executing respective work.
Also, it has been later identified that there are numerous skills like IT, communication,
analytical skills which can be developed by learners in rightful manner by incorporating
with different learning practices. These developed skills are also helpful for learner in
enhancing chances of their future growth.
