Self Reflective Essay

In this essay, I aim to discuss what methods of learning I have felt particularly successful during this course and then the areas that I need to look at and improve in planning for my future. I have learned now that I will also evaluate my how will I manage my time and plan ways in which to use it more effectively and efficiently.

Throughout this course, I have needed to adapt my learning style, as virtually all my learning is now done outside of lectures and seminars in the form of reading and self study. At first I struggled slightly with this but as the course had progressed I felt much more confident and at ease with this process and now have a greater understanding in accounting. I found that by taking notes and keeping them on me at all times during this course I am able to refer back to them when working on a paper or a problem. This course has made me aware that I did not set enough time for reading during this course. I often just concentrated on reading my primary core textbooks from my reading list, as opposed to looking at secondary texts and recommended further reading. However I am now able to approach subjects in a more accessible way through the use of my notebook and articles.

I am very grateful now that I have a better understanding in business communication through e-mails. I am currently working for Google under their Zagat campaign and by taking this course it has helped me immensely in understanding how to properly communicate in a professional manner.

Again, I wish I had set aside more time for this course however I do feel I walked away with a great amount of knowledge.
