Part B: Personal skills framework (25%) This section of the assessment requires you to complete a personal skills framework and attach as an appendix to your report (the template is available for download from Blackboard under ‘Assessment’ and is included as appendix 1 to this brief). For each of the ten topics covered on the module you are required to reflect on the following two questions and record your reflections in the template. This template should be completed on a weekly basis following the seminar. There is a word limit of 200 words for each topic which should be followed but the +10% limit will only be applied to the whole framework not to each topic. 1. What new knowledge did you gain and which skills did you develop this week? ? Make a note of what you learned this week. This may be from the lecture; seminar; wider reading or independent study. If you got feedback in the seminar from your peers or tutor should also include this as evidence of personal reflection. 2. How does this knowledge and/or skills relate to your future career plans? ? Consider what you noted for question 1 and how this relates to your future career plans. For example if you are planning a career as a manager in retail how has what you have learned in the area of performance management going to be useful for you? At the end of the personal skills framework there is an objective setting section where you are required to set three objectives develop further based on your learning on the module. Remember that these objectives should be Specific; Measurable; Attainable; Realistic; and Time-bound.
