Learning how to be thoroughly organized and work concisely towards deadlines whilst maintaining high standards of work, especially when writing and researching my ten thousand word dissertation entitled “The effects of El Nino on the Moche”. In lectures and seminars I have prepared slides on PowerPoint and have given oral presentations in front of large groups of people showing clear communication skills and detailed subject knowledge, which have led to various distinctions amongst my lecturers and peers.
