I am not involved in student union and the reason why I havent joined student union is because I didn’t find it necessary to.

The city life is good as there’s new things to explore everyday also the price of everything in Leeds is decent. However, at times the city can get a bit hectic.

I have not joined any clubs therefore, I am unable to explain how the clubs and societies are.

What I like most about how my course is taught that is that the lecturers explains the topic clearly and if I don’t understand it. Then the lecturers will repeat it and try to explain it to me in different ways to ensure I understand. However, what I like least about how the course is taught is that it is hard to adjust to the techniques the different lecturers use. It is hard as each lecturers have their own way and I personally find it hard to adapt some techniques into my assignments and class work.

At university I have to work hard and be motivated at all times, this is a good skill as it will help me do my work to its best standard when I am working in an professional environment. In addition, due to university I have developed my time management skill as I have to ensure my assignments are submitted before the deadline. I have become a more confident individual at university since I have to often do presentation as class work, this also interrelates with developing my verbal and non verbal communication skill as I am able to speak in a well and professional manner. Also, I am able to use positive body language to keep the audience entertained and be portrayed as a confident individual. Furthermore, this has ensured that I am able to do pitch a presentation in a professional manner in the near future. I have gained other useful skill whilst studying at university. One of which is being able to evaluate, analyse, summarise and critically think when I need to regarding my assignments. I believe critical thinking is a key transferable skill needed in a working environment, as it is essential for one to be able to critically think and asses any situation at work or elsewhere.
