TIME MANAGEMENT

After critically studying time management from the book,i realised that studies is not all about putting pressure on yourself,it is all about proper time management and planing.a proper time management will help a student to meet up with assignment deadlines,and also have enough time for studies,the first step is know yourself ,that is your abilities,knowing that will help you organise and manage your time properlyy.finally i find the topic very interesting,and am looking forward to putting what i learned into practice because i know it will help me not only in my studies but in all aspect of life

FEEDBACK

Due to the time factor was very brief during my presentation, as a result i didn’t go deep into explanation, but still am able to know some of my weaknesses, am finding it difficult to face the class and express myself, is like am anxious, and I run out of word due to the anxiety. After the lecture i was able to know other areas that i need to improve and my strength as well will improve my eye contact and my body language, during my presentation the eye contact and the body language was not good. Equally important i did not personalise the topic. The presentation was not subjective made some explanations which are not on the slide and i was applauded for that
