Organisational, Professional and Academic Capability PDP3
Personal Development Plan for:- Elizabeth Croft
Tutor:- Aarti Vyas-Brannick Course:-BAAB
Date of Submission:- 14TH May 2007 Tutor Approved YES/NO/ (if no see attached sheet) A. LEARNING CAPABILITY The skill I developed most in the Learning Capability quadrant was my learning profile. Becoming more organised was an aspect of my personal development which I thought most important as a basis on which to grow and develop my professional capabilities.
What I did, was first start to tidy my belongings around me. This involved filling away all my clutter into a storage system of boxes under my desk and then started on organising all my lecture and tutorial notes. Using a large file with 30 compartments, I stored away all notes and booklets under different label headings for each subject. I also then went on to organise my bank details and pay slips and so on. What I now do differently as a result is spend less time trying to find things and more time on more important things, such as getting to university on time and having an easier focus to get down and start revising.
I found easy the buying of the file and actually organising it to start off with as this did not take much time at all. Also once I got into this organised state of mind I found it easy to adapt it to other parts of my life, such as organising event and socials, clothes and CD 's, and generally keeping my room a bit tidier.
What I found difficult was actually keeping to it. I sometimes had a tendency to just chuck note and papers in my top draw instead of filling them straight away. This started to get in the way so I decided to use a magazine storage box to be able to chuck odd bits of paper in when in a rush and then file it away at a later date. This worked well and my desk was now still tidy and things are still organised.
This will benefit me in my second year of study because now having a tidy life
