This report is based on the experience I underwent from the three important aspects (Individual Effort, Group Work and Tutor Sessions) of an AMP unit. Additionally it also includes some more aspects: engagement within the group, deciding over the structure and formatting of the final report, making choices about the relevant case studies and keeping record of the references. It is believed that all of these relating factors are influential in directing an individual towards ways of enhancing Critical Analysis and Thinking skills.

- Enhancement of critical thinking, knowledge management, and research skills.
- Development of future strategies for academic and professional improvement.
Excerpt from the Book
2.1.1. Systematic Reflection Model
This model was capitalised by us in the form of group especially during the time of Tutor Support session. This model usually follows the pattern of evaluating given issue from all possible aspects in a systematic manner (Cornett, 1995). In relation to this approach, we organised different group meetings on the base of different sections so as to make focused on the task and also to bind ourselves to the guidelines mentioned in the AMP Handbook. Primarily, this approach was proved to be instrumental for us during the time of tutor support session where each group asked the question from the Unit leader and after listening all questions Unit Leader used to give his perspective on the given issue. I believed that this approach helped us a lot in getting positive feedback all the time from the Unit leader as he seemed really impressed with the course of efforts we usually delivered and also resulted in leading each group learning curve at the desirable point. And I also understood that this approach is key factor in making our group distinctive from others and also enhanced the quality of work to be submitted as the Final Report of MSc course.
