Reflective Report
In the module Fundamentals of Management, over the past six weeks I have been given an introduction as to what management is and how the module is going to be taught. I have been notified on how many assignments there are and how to develop my academic reading, writing, thinking, how to communicate and what type of language I should be using.

My feedback states that I should have been more prepared and done further reading prior to the quiz. Although I attempted two of the questions I barely got any marks as I didn’t write enough content. I also didn’t use all the time that was available which was another issue because I could have really produced the best possible answers.

In this quiz, it worked in my favour however I am aware that is not the way to go forward during future multiple-choice test and I would rather be safe and study beforehand than sorry going with my gut instincts and guessing. As for the essay style questions, I struggled really hard and this was my fault because firstly, I didn’t revise what
