Personal Development Planning PDP is embedded in the teaching and assessment of most modules, particularly EF1700 Study and Communication. Students keep logs of their learning experience and learning needs. Students are taught to use SMART Action Planning and are assessed in EB2010 on their reflections on an Action Plan. Strategies and skills for academic, personal and professional development are identified during induction. Students regularly meet with their tutor and groups discuss PDP issues and strategies, with emphasis on academic development. 16.
