self-assessment of Academic skills

There is more to being a successful student than academic skills like critical reading and effective writing.

You also need to look after your wellbeing, engage with available support and know when to seek assistance. Reflecting on all of these skills will help you identify your current strengths and weaknesses. This can then inform your planning and support your future progress.

To help with this, on this page you can:

  • Explore some of the help and guidance which will be available to you with student skills at Leeds Beckett
  • Self-assess your student skills, identifying areas for potential improvement
  • Write an action plan to support you in developing your student skills

First, review this short presentation on the help which will be available to you with key student skills at LBU.

Next, use the short worksheet below to assess your current student skills.

You can then complete the action plan after the worksheet to make a plan to improve your skills and support your studies at LBU.
