Week 1: Task 1 - Key Attributes, Skills and Focuses



I am a very punctual person. If I set a goal or task for myself with a deadline, I will do anything to make sure I achieve it by the set time. This is advantageous as procrastination is easily combated through my personal punctuality. I also pride myself on my strong leadership qualities. I know when to take charge and when to take a step back for others to give their opinion. I believe this will aid my ability to work in a group situation, especially for the first assessment as nobody knows anyone personally yet, so it is important to understand the social dynamic of the group in order to work harmoniously. 



My essay writing skills and ability to express myself on paper is lacking. English at school was always my worst subject, not because I didn't understand the content, I just had trouble translating my understanding onto paper. In having no exams, rather assessments scattered throughout the semester, I will be able to spend more time on editing my writing.  I find that every time I reread my writing, I discover something that can be improved. Therefore, consistent editing time will be a good way to achieve my goal of improving my expression.

Another goal of mine that I would like to achieve is to be more pro-active with my studies. I aim to read the chapters and lecture powerpoint presentations before my lectures so I understand all the content beforehand. Instead of learning the information first in the lecture, I'd like the lectures to cement the information into my brain.
