Reflecting on academic journey that I have gained so far, focusing on academic writing, note taking and maintaining academic integrity is one of the principles for career. These three aspects of academics are associated with one another and indispensable skills that will serve well throughout educational and personal growth. When it comes to note-taking, practice is fundamental. Moreover, using bullets points, numbering, symbols and abbreviations to capture information in orderliness and logical which can be start by actively listening to lectures or while reading. Similarly, to develop academic writing, practicing and seeking feedback from tutors and friends is important.

Furthermore, it is important to focus on organizing ideas and supporting the ideas with evidence.  In addition, reading news and articles also helps to develop academic writing. Likewise, to maintain academic integrity, it is important to give credit to original sources. Plagiarism can be avoided by citing and referencing the sources. Not only but also developing exploration and citations policy would help to maintain academic integrity right through academic journey. From these three aspects of academic journey, academic writing is challenging as it is difficult to maintain a formal tone, citation styles, as there is certain order of writing, organizing ideas effectively and at the same time, it helped a lot to enhance academic skills. While doing Information Technology (IT) assignment, it allowed me to enhance academic writing skills.
