Paragraph

As a new student in Southern cross university, I would like write about my learning needs. In my first objective, I strongly encourage myself to have better efficiency of working in which I can improve my timing and arrive classes on time. [MG6]However, the hardest part of this goal is I was never able to balance my biological clock, so I will give myself more pressure in the following time and try to go bed early[MG7]. Secondly, I want to write a perfect assignment that can achieve high marks. Since it is new for me to be in university, I am still not familiar with plagiarizing. Thus, in the future I will learn how to write a formal assignment with references. Moreover, my social ability is one of my worst skills. To meet my objective, I must learn to talk to people, by going to workshops or gatherings. Overcoming anxiety is not hard for some people, but it is a challenge to me. Because I am easily distracted by video games, I must quit or play less games. Finally, I would like to increase my knowledge by going to library as many times as I can. (202)[MG8]

COMMENTS: Chaopeng Li, although you have made an attempt at this assessment task it is far from satisfactory. You learning plan does not identify realistic learning needs and lacks sincerity. Have you attended any classes on the Melbourne campus – if you had you would know that there is no library to visit -it is all online. Your goals of writing a `perfect assignment’ are not realistic. Your paragraph lacks genuine reflection and no real understanding of what you need to do regarding your learning.Some of your learning needs can be modified to learning needs such as ‘Time Management’ and ‘Academic Integrity’ based on yours paragraph. You will have the opportunity to resubmit this assignment.

I am giving you the opportunity to re-submit this assessment. It is due onMonday 11 April 11pmin the sameTurnitinlink where you previously submitted it. Remember it will now take 24 hours to generate your Originality Report. The most you can obtain is a borderline Pass (50%). I encourage you to re-submit this assessment as your learning plan forms the basis of your final assessment (Assessment 3). It is important that you get it right from the beginning so you can work towards your goals throughout the rest of the session and then reflect/evaluate on your progress and success in the final assessment.

[MG1]This is not a learning need please redo

[MG2]See comments above

[MG3]PLEASE SEE COMMENTS ABOVE.I suggest that if you are not going to come to class that you at least listen to the online lectures so that you are familiar with the content of this subject and the context of the assessment task.

[MG4]Not really a specific learning need

[MG5]There is no library to go to it is all online

[MG6]You have not attended ONE class

[MG7]This is simply going to bed on time

[MG8]There is no library at SCU Melbourne campus- it is online perhaps you would be better of going here than playing online video games
