Deadlines for meeting my goals

Communication Skills
It is crucial to highlight that I have to develop my written and spoken communication skills.

This will be achieved by giving speeches to high school students and social gatherings in order to improve my speaking (Coetzee 2007). I will also improve my written skills through wide reading and writing several papers. Specifically, I will focus on business communication writings such as letters, memos, and reports.

Financial resources will be required to travel to high schools where I intend to deliver speeches. I will also use the internet to read widely in addition to using my computer for writing papers.

I will rely on feedback from my audience to identify whether I can communicate my ideas succinctly. I will also rely on my teachers and grades to determine whether my written communication meet the market standards.

I have set my deadline for assessing my communication skills on 15 July 2015. I believe I will have feedback from my teachers on assignments. I will also be in apposition to asses feedbacks from audiences in places I will deliver my speeches.

Cognitive skills
I intend to improve my analytical skills interpretation skills and critical thinking skills.

I believe my coursework at the Coventry University of London will equip me with the required analytical interpretation and critical thinking skills.

I believe I only need to invest my time and energy in order to acquire these skills. This owes to the reality that I will be relying on coursework to acquire the kills.

Will rely on feedback from assignments to identify whether I can think critically analytically and interpret problems and solutions appropriately

I have set my deadline for assessing my cognitive skills on 15 July 2015. I believe I will have feedback from my teachers on assignments. I intend to improve on areas of weakness before the final exam

Technical Skills
Business Applications
Computer software

The only sure way of achieving this goal is practice. As evidence, Beausaert et al., (2013) argues that practicing how to use different applications is the only way of learning how to use the applications.

I already have a personal computer to use for my practice. I also have business applications software such as Quick books and Sage. I believe the two software will give me the skills required to work with other business application software

I will record the time I use to solve different problems using Sage and Quick books...
