About this Unit

This unit requires you to build a portfolio of evidence which covers a range of different study skills. The different elements of the portfolio will be a combination of work that you have already completed as part of your programme, as well as reflective and evaluative commentary.

You will need to complete your portfolio one element at a time using the guidance provided. It is advisable to complete this unit in stages – do not attempt to complete all of the questions in one study session.

This unit is ungraded, but will be awarded upon successful achievement of all assessment criteria and learning outcomes.

Remember: this assignment has to be all your own work. Whilst properly referenced content is fine and encouraged, any work that is not wholly your own effort has to be acknowledged as such and correctly referenced using the Harvard format.

Please ensure the choosing 2 unit contains bibliography, reference, quotation and citation
