It is also about setting out the goals for the learning by evaluating the purpose for learning and ways to achieve those goals. People always learn new things, for example, the culture of different people, behaviour, personality, perceptions and so on. People can learn things from college, through friends, personal and other people’s experience, books to mention but few. It is therefore important to manage one’s learning as it has huge impacts in one’s life. Some of the positive impacts include: Self-managed learning gives people the opportunity to come up with their own strategy in learning. For instance, I have a goal to get a distinction on my assignment, so my strategy will be to research, reference and write well my work and submit it on time to achieve my goal.

And was known as tor the four learning styles which were known as the following, theorists, pragmatists, reflectors, activists. Theorists A theorists is someone who comes up with intellectual ideas which they be likely to explain in as much detail as they can, to prove to others that their theory is correct. However as the years go by theorist’s spend their time trying to improve their theory to ensure it is advanced to the time.

...Introduction . The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which is a professional body for all those concerned with the management and development of people define HRM as the design, implementation and maintenance of strategies to manage people for optimum business performance including the development of policies and processes to support these strategies. (Management and Organisation behaviour). 1.1 Explain the factors to be considered when planning the recruitment of individuals to work in Health and Social Care: De Cenzo, D.A & Robins,S.P (2002), define recruitment as ‘’the process of discovering potential candidates for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies. Or from another viewpoint, it is a linking activity- bringing together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs’’. This means, recruitment is the process of searching for persons who possibly may be appropriate to fill vacancies and to persuade them to apply for the vacancies.

...1. If you want fast you have to slow down. It does not mean that you have to do everything by a slowly way. It means that you must do everything carefully. In my oipnion, this is This is one of the most effective ways to save time. If you do everything carefully so you will save a lot of time for checking and fixing problems. In addition, the quality of your work will be significantly improved if you do it in a careful way from the beginning. Moreover, the risk of your job will also significantly reduced. It will help you be more confident in arranging and planning your activities. 2. You can still do more work whether your timetable was full already. If you can arrange work by a resonable way so your downtime will be less significant. It means that your time will not be wasted.
