Successes and failures of Your first year at University

-There is a library which is active for 24 h and  access to all the materials. Some of the workshops can take place in the library which is only for purpose to developnew skills for a daily and professional use. These workshops  related to daily life subjects like maths, academic writing e.tc . In this case, I found it   More interesting to attend any of those workshops than the workshops from my modules such as in marketing decision making or in digital marketing which was uninteresting

- 1.SUCCESS : Impressive feeling , that in library  there is opportunity to  arrange a session with tutor for feedback  regarding the assignment.

-2.Success :  opportunity for students to book any room in library for  practicing use like preparation for a speech in teamwork  

-1.Failure : I gave more priority to a part time work than to focus more on my modules. I could do better but at the end I Passed all the modules which was great news

-2. Failure :  It was one failure module like social media in marketing, Digital and social media was unuseful   subject cause some facts about social media was already exist in my knowledge  from previous experience  

Group cohesion whilst undertaking Your first year at University

was bad experience , all my group members were British. Therefore, they weren’t enthusiastic to corporate with me cause I  am international student and they gave impression that I was useless. However, the results of the presentation was   60% which was wonderful news

From the beginning, my group leader gave for each member a specific part that he or she has to work with it .

The presentation was  related to our business idea , well it was quite complicated task cause it has a  lot work to think and do .

•Be patient , respect others from  foreign countries ( like their point of view )

•I learnt  about academic rules like about a plagiarism and penalties

•I learnt to corporate in the group

•I learnt and explored new subjects in my course like :  marketing in digital practice and real life  and another module like a accounting calculations such as statement of financial position and income statement e.t.c

Therefore, this factor can develop a person to be sure for the future career .
