ANSWER: the students according to their study goals and study time create a study plan also.
To set the time and days, in devotion to their studies student should come up with the study plan
to help them effectively.
ANSWER: Study skills are those skills you'll need to study and learn properly. To develop
effective study skills following are evidence based tips:
1. Time management
2. Begin with the right approach
3. Forming connections
4. Techniques for retrieval practice(May 22, 2018: John)
ANSWER: A Portfolio of Evidence is a compilation of work that clearly reflects your ability to
apply the understanding and skills indicated in the apprenticeship standard.
Demonstrate your understanding of the training standard's knowledge, skills, and
behaviors.
Illustrate how you have put your knowledge and talents to use.
Include significant real-world tasks for you to do.
Question # 2:
AC 31.2: Develop and evaluate a range of strategies to address the factors which may
impact on study.
ANSWER: A student can overcome the factors that have impact on his studies by these
strategies:
1. Find a good studying spot:
Strength: Student must need an environment with no disturbance, where he can
completely focus on his studies. For academic work, library is a good place for students.
Weakness: In a room, student can switch from studying and focus on watching movies
or using phone. In libraries, there may be distraction due to people coming and going,
dragging the chairs, and librarian restocking the books.
2. Organise lectures notes:
Strength: To get better understanding of a lecture a student should make notes of
lectures. Recording a professor’s lecture is the best way to do this and then right it in a
way, which is easier for him.
Weakness: It takes time to make notes and student might miss important point from
lecture and lose concentration.
3. Self-regulating capacity:
Strength: Academic accomplishment and the ability to self-regulate have a good
association. When someone has a strong sense of self, he or she can organize, plan,
monitor, and change their behaviour or learning principles and methods during learning
activities.
Weakness: Too much self-control can lead to frequent and often needless feelings and
emotions, ideas, and behaviors, resulting in a life defined by stiffness and dullness,
decreasing subjective wellbeing.
4. Join or create a study group:
Strength: Joining a group is not only just misery loves for companies but it is a
teamwork. Someone can help in doing an assignment in which a you are struggling most.
It’s about helping each other to be succeed.
Weakness: In-group study, sometimes students switch from their studies and get busy in
gossips. And there would be lack of efficacy and impersonalized learning because in
group we study on other’s pace whether it is too low or fast, it would not help us in study.
Conclusion: I discussed some strategies that can overcome the factors, which affect our study.
Everyone has the ability to expand on his or her knowledge, abilities, and passions. Teachers
have an important role in aiding students in activating their comprehension, improving on their
conceptions, correcting misunderstandings, and watching and engaging with students in the
learning process.
Feedback is the information about a product's reactions, a person's progress on a task, and so on
that can be designed to improve performance.Feedback, both positive and negative, is very
beneficial. Feedback is important information that will be developed to create key decisions.
Here are some strategies that we used to improve our work:
1. Review information immediately: As soon as you have learnt anything new, take a few
minutes to review it. Go through the material once more and add to any comments you
have previously made.
2. Schedule further Reviews: It is critical to organized in this situation. Add your reviews
to your To-Do List or Action Program to make sure you have time to do them. Create
calendar notifications or configure your phone to alert you when your next review is
required.
3. Test Yourself: Include a component of testing in every review you perform. This can
help you determine any knowledge gaps, identify critical areas where you should
concentrate, and reinforce what you have learnt. You can also use a review app to test
yourself.
4. Rewrite your Notes: Instead of writing notes once and hope, they stick, get above them
repeatedly, improving or adding to them. This is an excellent method to maintain
information up to date and easy to understand. If you want to study in depth, then convert
it into flow chart or make a mind map.
5. Put your learning into action: Simply reviewing your notes will not benefit you in
recalling them in the end. Rather, try to put whatever you have learnt into practice. This
will occur spontaneously in certain cases. If you are learning a new software product, for
example, you will probably need to go over it several times until it becomes second
nature to you.
Question # 4

AC 51.2: Produce a written assignment using the plan and the draft
Firstly, I made a draft of my assignment (Crimes, Deviance and Social Norms) to get my
assessor’s feedback; I started it on 25/7/20 and used different sources like Google Scholar,
newspaper articles, online library, and Google for assignment articles etc. and I completed it on
30/7/2021. The draft of my assignment is:
There is a connection between crime and deviance. Deviance is defined as actions that are
against social expectations. Some aberrant acts are considered so severe by society that laws
have been enacted to combat them. Other aberrant acts may be frowned upon by society, but they
are not considered crimes. Internal and external socialization procedures establish social
standards and explain which behaviors society accepts and rejects. Controlling human behavior
requires the principles of socialization and social control. What actions are acceptable in society
are determined by society, and departures from those behaviors result in a range of social
penalties (not limited to those meted out by the criminal justice system). Failure to socialize to
societal standards is widely used to explain criminal conduct and deviance.
Question # 5
AC 11.2: Evaluate the material identified for relevance and reliability.
I have done two assignments that are:
1. The Brain and Nervous system.
2. Crime, Deviance and Society Norms.
I needed to research on Google scholar because this was relevant website that gives information
on every science related topic easily because Google Scholar is a subset of the Google search
engine that help to identify only scholarly sources, evaluating an article's relevance based on how
many times it was mentioned and who wrote it, then I used Sci Hub for The Brain and Nervous
System, I found many relevant information related to my topic. I checked their reliability
because Google Scholar is a useful tool for assessing research output in the social sciences and
humanities, and web used for academic search engine and my assignments were about science
and social related topics, so these sources were reliable to my assignments.
Reliability of sources:
Strength:
Google Scholar gives you the ability to more reliable information that is also free. Google
Scholar is a published paper search engine. Google Scholar may offer users with the entire
article or only a sample of the article with an order process so that you may acquire it. Google
Scholar is more extensive, with references to and citations from research publications and
other scholarly grey literature. If you want to evaluate the overall impact of your effort, this
might be beneficial. (Research Hub, March 26, 2021)
Weakness:
Google Scholar's material is continuously changing, leaving it ineffective for literature reviews
and observational studies. Because Google Scholar does not identify which form of a document
is being displayed, you may wind up reading post or materials that have not been peer-reviewed.
When Google Scholar's contents are modified, no notification is given. The citation counter on
Google Scholar can be misleading and incorrect. (Heather campbel, Oct 2021)
Question # 6
AC 21.1:Demonstrate the ability to identify and use ideas to sustain logical written analysis,
argument, interpretation, or explanation.
Assignment topic is The Brain and Nervous System.
Neurotransmitters are often mentioned because they are the body’s chemical messengers. They
are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons, or from
neurons to muscles the brain needs neurotransmitters to regulate many necessary functions. They
have different types of actions which are excitatory neurotransmitters that encourage a target cell
to act, inhibitory neurotransmitters which decrease the chances of the target cell acting
This highlighted yellow part is from The Brain and Nervous System; I completed this assignment
on 23/3/21. I have done this by writing about neurotransmitters which are known as the chemical
messengers off the body and enable the communication between neurons. I present an argument
related to the nervous system, that nervous system uses neurotransmitters to send signals
between neurons or from neurons to muscles. Neurons are the fundamental cells of the nervous
system which are responsible for receiving information from various parts of our body to the
brain and carry the information back to the sensory organs through motor neurons. The synaptic
cleft is the place where two neurons interact. The production of neurotransmitters converts
electrical impulses flowing along the axon into chemical signals, generating a particular reaction
in the receiving neuron. An excitatory, inhibitory, or modulator neurotransmitter affects a neuron
in one of three ways. If a neurotransmitter is succeeded to stimulate the target cell to perform an
action then it will be called excitatory neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine is excitatory
neurotransmitter which stimulates the muscles of autonomic nerves system. On the other hand an
inhibitory neurotransmitter is more likely to inhibit the response of the cell. GABA is an example
of inhibitory neurotransmitter, a number of sedatives or tranquilizers enhance the effects of
GABA. Modulatory neurotransmitters have the ability to affect multiple neurons simultaneously
and influence the effects of many other chemical messengers too. Dopamine is the modulator as
it can create both inhibitory and excitatory effects depending upon the receptor present there.
Schizophrenia is associated with the excess release of Dopamine while Parkinson disease is
caused by its recession. The action period of neurotransmitters released in synaptic cleft is very
short, only minutes or even seconds. They are either reabsorbed by the terminal buttons of
presynaptic neurons or destroyed by enzymes.
There is wide range of neurotransmitters which are working continuously to keep our body
operational and managing all our bodily actions from balancing to breathing to heartbeat to our
abilities to concentrate. Understanding the communication process of these nerve cells as well as
their functioning enables researchers finding ways to keep us happy or healthy.
Question # 7:
Evaluate at least two reading strategies.
Answer:
Reading is not about killing your time rather it is a lifelong skill which is used at school and
throughout one’s life to add some meaning to it. Reading strategies are the specific mental
operations involved when a reader approaches a text efficiently to make sense of what he is
going to read. Good readers apply reading strategies more efficiently and frequently than the
poor readers (Pani, 2004).
The three effective reading strategies are:
1. Planning strategy: Planning is considered as one of the most vigorous strategy in
reading which helps us to keep track of our reading tasks. Planning is about scheduling
the process as well as setting the goals for reading. Reading is not about killing your time
rather it is a lifelong skill which is used at school and throughout one’s life to add some
meaning to it. Reading also allows you to stay engaged on those rare occasions when it's
late, you're exhausted, and snuggled up with a stack of journal articles seems far more
attractive than unwinding in front of the TV. The purpose of reading could be different
for every reader. Knowing what you hope to gain from a reading assignment will give
you a better idea how to approach it and how much time to dedicate to it.
Strength: Planning gives direction towards the goal attainment. One cannot achieve
his goal without scheduling or effective planning. Planning involves arranging the
activities you are going to perform to attain certain goals. In reading process a reader
make a hierarchy of tasks he will follow to read a document. Planning eliminates
confusion and clarifies what everyone is answerable for.
Weakness: Planning consume time and effort. A brief analysis of need is required to plan
effectively. Plan subjectively without the deep analysis of needs and goals is impractical
and just a waste of time.
Question# 8:
Write an evaluation of three different note taking methods.
Answer:
1. The Charting Method:
It's an excellent strategy for memorising notes with a lot of knowledge in the form of facts and
figures. Similar to a table or spreadsheet, the information will be divided in multiple columns.
Each column provides a distinct category, allowing the rows to be contrasted conveniently.Both
facts and relationships will be the objective of the exam. The information is strong and delivered
on time. You want to spend less time editing and reviewing during the testing process. You'd
want to receive a detailed overview of the entire course on a single massive piece of paper.
Strength of this method: Helps you keep track of conversations and dialogues where you could
maybe get distracted and miss important information. Reduces the amount of writing that must
be accomplished. Allows for better analysis of data as well as contrasts and connections. It is
good for reviewing and many things can be revised or learn quickly. Is used to provide a study
outline of a complete subject, unit, or course.
Weakness of this method: It might be tough to classify things. We should plan ahead of time for
the chart. It is hard method to use during lecture. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what is
happening in the lecture.
2. Mapping method:
Mapping is a process that involves the use of understanding and attention skills and develops
into a note-taking format that connects each fact or idea to the next. A lecture's content is
presented graphically using mapping. The mapping method is great when the lecture subject is
strong. It enables you to understand your notes by dividing them into branches, allow us to make
connections between them. Start to write the primary theme at the top of the map
Strength of this Method:
This approach allows users to track his presentation visually regardless of the weather. It can be
used to make a detailed information to brief. Relationships are clearly visible and little thought is
required. Adding numbers, marks, and colour coding to your notes is very simple. You'll just had
to reorganize your mental processes in review, which will encourage you to have double your
understanding. For memory drill and relationships, go over the lines again. The main concepts
can be represented on flash cards or note cards and later assembled into a table or bigger
structure.(Goodnotes, May 9 2018).
Weakness of this Method:
We could run out of space on a blank sheet when mapping our notes. When taking notes, it might
be difficult if the information is put incorrectly. It needs strong concentration. When it comes to
complicated issues, mapping may be difficult.
3. Outlining Method:
After listening, write points in an orderly way focused on space indentation. Major points should
be positioned on the left side of the page. To the right, underline each additional point. The
distance away from the primary location will be used to define significance levels. Labeling the
indentions with Roman numerals or decimals can be as simple or as complicated as indention.
Strength of this Method:
If managed properly, a well-organized system. Outlining keeps a record of both information and
connections. By putting important ideas into questions, it also minimizes editing and makes it
simple to analyze.
Weakness of this Method:
For correct organizing, more thinking is needed in class. When relationships by sequence are
needed, this system will not be able to represent them. It doesn't allow itself to a varied review
connection for optimum learning and application of questions. If the lecture is too speedy, this
system will be useless.
Conclusion:
Every student's lives revolve on note taking, and how you do, it could have a strong influence on
your education and outcomes. It might be tough to examine your notes and identify essential
material before examinations and exams if they are disorganized.
Question # 9
AC 31.1: Select the key principal ideas or information in a text.
Topic of an assignment: ROLE OF MASS MEDIA
Mass media is reaching out to a larger audience through media technologies like television,
radio, films, and internet (which comprises of social media apps, websites, and emails).
Mass media used newspaper as their first source. For a long period of time, the public relied on
reporters and critics for the home-grown journalists to deliver them with the up-to-date news in
existing events. In the 1890s, the radio replaced newspapers as the most relevant mode of
communication. Relatives would meet to listen to their preferred radio station series to and to
take note of the up to date news content especially about politics, societal issues, and showbiz.
People then switched to television as the latest source and now internet is the recent mass media
source.
Mass media plays a significant role in selection and presentation of news as there is a whole
process that news goes through before it is broadcasted online. Every government has their own
set of rules to supervise media content through censorship and media regulation.
Neo-Marxist Theory: Marxism speculates that the tussle among social classes, especially among
the bourgeoisie, or capitalists, and the public, or workers describes economic dealings in a
capitalist economy and will predictably result in groundbreaking communism.
Neo-Marxist agrees with the fact that freedom is the most important thing that an individual
should be provided with and that the new modern world system provides it to everyone including
the general public due to these three important elements that are:
➢ Firstly, the participants of a capitalist civilization that includes the entrepreneurs and general
public belonging to the working class are both lawfully at liberty.
➢ The second element states that any specific worker is at all times officially permitted, and
economically at liberty, to leave the working class and convert or enter the capitalist class. But,
the fact is that in a capitalist civilization, even if the public class is given the freedom to escape
their grassroots or their normal life of waged people it is still a restrained class of society.
➢ Thirdly, the capitalist has provided us with many freedom other than the freedom of buying
and selling like autonomy of speech, gathering, worship, publication of any kind, movement,
political involvement etc.
Despite all of this, Marxist is still committed to his stance that the freedom of buying and selling
is the real nature of those controlling a capitalist society.
Pluralist Theory: It is actually a political theory that states that social differentiation or
heterogeneous nature of the people is the reason that prevents any particular group to gain power.
Politics is fundamentally a substance of amassing inclinations which means that alliances are
integrally unstable, therefore competition is certainly preserved. A pluralist republic defines a
political structure where there is “more than one center of control.” Current republics are by
description pluralist as democracies permits liberty of association. In a democratic civilization,
people attain positions of official political power by establishing effective electoral alliance.
A pluralistic society refers to a society where an individual doesn’t have to give up their racial
backgrounds and individualities in order to be a member of a group.
Pluralism denotes a culture, structure of government, or an institution that has diverse groups that
keep their individualities while surviving with extra groups or a more prevailing group. Rather
than just single group, subgroup or values ordering how everyday life goes, pluralism identifies a
greater figure of challenging concern groups that share the authority. Pluralism functions as a
model of republic, where distinct groups can speak out about their views and plans.
Post Modern Theory: Postmodernism in terms of sociology is a study of the societal and
traditional characteristics of post-modernity, an analysis of sociological concept as a modernist
plan, and an addition of sociological analysis into different areas.
The main ideas of “sociological postmodernism are subject, identity, text, and symbol.” Based
on this fact, postmodernity is categorized as a system of societal order where the role of the
electronic or automated media is prevalent, figurative codes are universal, and social
individualities are split. These expressions are also mentioned in the analysis of sociological
theory as a result of modernity. Based on this analysis or assessment, scientific philosophies
work as sign methods permitting specific courses of social act, and the knowing matter is the
result of social situations. “Sociological postmodernism” asserts an organizational resemblance
among texts and social order as both are identified as network-like structures of symbols.
Theory of social construction of news: This theory relates to the fact that news is not presented in
the exact same way as it is received but it is molded into the form that is socially acceptable to
the controller of media. For example many events that take place in our society are not reported
in the news and the events that are reported are constructed in an order of importance where it is
already decided that what type of questions will be asked and who will answer them.
It also stresses on the fact that the matter or information and layout of the news is the
consequence of the choice that are made by numerous media experts and their close associates.
And this is why the news is partial and portrays a biased view in the favor of those involved in its
formation.
News values refers to the factors that determines the worth of a specific news and controls the
time and space it will cover on media. The news comprising of elements such as
“extraordinariness, threshold, negativity, unambiguity, and personalization” gain dominance over
other news.
The elements that restricts the events included in news content are “financial costs, deadlines,
time and space, the audience, and journalistic ethics.”
Thus, in order to conclude it can be stated that these theories gives us insight to understand the
role of mass media and the concept of selection and presentation of the news.
Question # 10
AC 31.2: Accurately summaries a text whilst retaining its meaning.
Assignment name: The Brain and Nervous System.
Example # 1
The forebrain is the largest and most complexregion of the brain, encompassing a verity of
structures, including the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, and cerebrum. He further
alluded that the thalamus is a structure in the forebrain through which all sensory information
(except smell) must pass to get to the cerebral cortex. It is located at the top of the brainstem and
is responsible for relaying sensory information to a particular part of the cortex as well as
regulating motor control. It also works on receiving information and signals from various brain
areas, such as auditory, visual sensory and somatosensory signals. The structure found at the
bottom of the forebrain involved in regulation of basic biological needs is called the
hypothalamus. (Biswas-Diener, R. 2020).
The Brain and Nervous System:
The biggest and most complex part of the brain is forebrain, in which thalamus is the structure
through which sensory information pass to the cortex, and regulate motor control. From different
parts of brain it receives information and signals. The hypothalamus is an area located near the
base of the forebrain that is involved in the control of basic biological demands.

Example # 2
The Brain and Nervous System:
When and individual is scared or stressed their body may release epinephrine. Epinephrine
increases pulse and breathing and provide the muscles a lot of energy. It also helps the brain
make quick decisions within the face of danger. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a mood
regulator. It has an inhibitory action, which stops neurons from becoming overexcited it is an
inhibitory neurotransmitter. It helps regulate moods, appetite, blood coagulation, sleep and
therefore the body’s biological time. Serotonin plays a role in depression and anxiety. Selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, can relieve depression by increasing serotonin levels
within the brain.
Paraphrasing:
Epinephrine released when a person feels afraid or stressed, its function is to increase breathing
or pulse rate and give muscles lot of energy and when a person face danger it help the brain in
making sudden judgments. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an anti-depressant Wang, P
(2006). It is known an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it inhibits neurons from becoming too
stimulated.

Example # 3
Crime, Deviance and Society Norms:
Even criminal deviance spans a wide range, from minor traffic violations to prostitution, sexual
assault, and murder. Usually, these outcomes are responsible for society’s unrest such that most
neighborhoods live in fear. Common examples of deviance or deviant behavior include bullying,
stealing from a school library, blackmail, money laundering and tax evasion. According to
studies, there are various causes of deviant behavior, unemployment and some include broken
backgrounds in the case of youths and lack of creative opportunities to create a sober working
environment. Marcus’s case crime was seen as the only means of acquiring material items.
(Crossman, 2018).
Paraphrasing:
Even criminal behavior is diverse, ranging from simple traffic offenses to prostitution, sexual
violence, and death. Typically, these consequences are to blame for societal instability, resulting
in terror in most areas. Bullying, robbing from the school library, blackmail, money laundering,
and tax evasion are common instances of deviation or deviant conduct. There are a variety of
factors that contribute to deviant conduct and unemployment, including broken families in the
case of youngsters and a lack of strategic alternatives for creating a sober working environment.
Marcus's argument was viewed as the sole way to obtain material goods.

Summary:
I included these examples from my previous assignments,
1. The Brain and Nervous System
2. Crimes, Deviance and Society Norms
First two examples were from first assignment and third were from second assignment. I
paraphrase these lines because paraphrase's goal is to communicate the original message's
content while also demonstrating that you understood the material well enough to rephrase it.
The paragraph should accurately convey the author's point of view on the subject to the reader.
In its whole, paraphrase includes a clear repetition of a source's concept. I have included these
examples to paraphrase because It enables me to clarify key concepts in own words and
concentrate on the material that is most relevant to my arguments. I must cite the source of my
knowledge even if I rephrase someone else's views in my own terms. It provides a strong option
to direct quotations, which should be used rarely. Paraphrasing is an important factor in
achieving a better knowledge of the other person and oneself, and it may considerably boost the
impact of someone else's words. It has the ability to translate remarks so that even more people
recognise them. Summaries exclude unnecessary material or instances that might divert the
reader's attention away from the most useful details, and they reduce complicated arguments,
language, and vocabulary. Summarizing and paraphrasing, when done successfully, may save
time, increase knowledge, and provide authority and credibility to your work.

Question # 12
AC: 11.2: Produce and evaluate a detailed, time-scaled study plan
Answer:
Strength of study plan:
1. Curious:
A student's ability to be curious is strength. The student will strive to learn more than
what is taught in the textbooks and will avoid overloading topics. As a result, they will
discuss issues with their professors and study independently from other sources such as
books or the internet.
2. Organization:
Academically, organization is a crucial skill. Students must be well-organized and follow
a study schedule. They create goals for themselves and organize their days accordingly.
Whether it is sports, studies, or social activities, they do everything at a certain hour.
Keeping yourself organized may help you prepare for assessments and relieve stress.
Additionally, this feature aids their professional performance.
3. Self learner:
The ability to study on one's own is a skill that may be helpful throughout one's life.
Studying without instruction and discovering learning materials on one's own prepares
students for professional difficulties. Self-learning is also more efficient than leaning on
others for assistance. That is not to say that help is not available. In addition, the learner
should be able to complete educational activities alone.
4. Time for unexpected:
A study time permits for unpredictable events. If anything unexpected arises, you will be
unconcerned since you have previously studied. If you waited until the last minute, you
would be frightened if an unexpected scenario occurred.
5. Reduced anxiety
You may decrease your tension by creating a study plan. The most of students prepare for
exams at the last minute. Packing, on the other hand, adds to your stress level, which you
may prevent if you begin studying for your examinations early. Because you have plenty
of time with a study schedule, you can cover all aspects of your topic.
2. Procrastination:
The primary disrupter of the educational process is procrastination. People are likely to
delaying work till the last minute and wasting their time doing so. That can only result in
poor construction and a slew of mistakes. While some students succeed in getting high
scores despite procrastination, this is not a desirable practice to keep up. Even if it does
not hurt them, it might put a lot of stress on their grade.
4. Time consuming:
Planning need sufficient time. It can sometimes lead to a delay in forming opinions.
When a rapid judgment is required, a student may be slowed down by procedures,
regulations, and other factors.
