ACADEMIC SKILLS

Reflective writing

Academic skills is a module which deals with the teaching of different processes used in the field of education to help a student not only in other modules but also serves as a tool in the professional world.
Though there were a few tasks I am familiar with, I have gradually acquired more knowledge on other topics and also I have had the chance to add more to what I already know.The first task was not much of a challenge to me since I had to basically write an understanding and more personal opinion concerning my course. 
The second one was a little bit of a hustle, I had to read two book in a short time and make my own copy of what I read almost like a summary using the principle of context. This was not like the everyday summary exercise, but no pain no gain, I had to make a conscious effort into seeing this task through. This task was a new to me and a little bit of a challenge, since I had to make my understanding of the requirements clear and precise.
Referencing, my next task was not much of a challenge though personally it could be cumbersome due to the different ways of referencing different document depending on their source. I learnt about the Harvard Referencing style, a generally accepted referencing technique. I would admit I was a little impressed with myself when I finally passed this task.
The last two tasks for me were familiar one presentation skills and group working. These tasks were tasks let me say I felt very confident about regarding the fact that they were not the first time I had practiced them.
Presentation skills though was not knew to me, I had the chance to get more acquainted with the use of power point presentation. It was an exciting addition to my already existing expertise in this subject.
Group working as said before was also not a new thing to me. I was  able to learn a lot about my partner during this period, it created a platform for closure between us.
With me as the student  and Miss Tiffany as my tutor, I would say I have learnt a lot and I would enjoy having her as my tutor again, though the fact still stands that initially her name sent a chill down my spine because of her very strong and strict sense of character but you know even Napoleon had a soft spot. 
In a nut shell I can not deny the fact that I am glad I am done with this module in as much as I can not deny the truth that during my study of this module I have acquired  a lot of knowledge which would help me in my future field of expertise, for instance I can now make a good referencing to support my work and also use power point to present or propose ideas in a more modern and systematic manner.
