You must read these instructions carefully before attempting this assignment. All of the instructions below are reflected in the marking criteria.
1. Your assignment should be in four clearly marked sections:
a) Introduction – Your introduction should briefly set the scene regarding the skills and insights you consider you have developed during your time on the PDP1 module
b) Academic skills
c) Career-related skills
d) Conclusion – A concise summary of the points you have reflected on and how you will move forward in relation to a potential career path
2. For both of the skills areas (b and c) you need to do the following:
• Identify your three strongest skills in these areas. Show – with evidence – where you have applied these skills.
• Identify three skills in each area you need to develop. Produce a plan, with timeline, for how you will address these development needs. Your plan should also include any resources you will need.
3. Where necessary, revisit the module e-lessons and/or any summary sheets you completed to refresh your understanding of the skills areas covered by the module i.e. lessons 1-8 (academic skills), lessons 9-12 (career insights and skills).
4. Please remember that you need to use the theory of reflective practice in your work. You must include examples of theory, and how this can be related to experiences you have had in the process of studying PDP1
