REFLECTION
EXPERIENCES:
This module emphasises in-depth on research and analysis.I get to explore
and do a few research on my own with my desired choice of topics.
However, the assignments are time-consuming, requiring extensive online
research and data collection from at least 80 and above respondents.
OBSEVATION:
Finding suitable research articles for my assignment was challenging
because there were not many relevant ones on my topic. This took the most
time, as I had to carefully read each article to determine its relevance.
Well-formatted articles were easier to read, while poorly formatted ones
lost my interest. Articles lacking clear headings made it difficult to
find the information I needed. I also noticed variations in citation
levels. Longer articles with few references seemed less reliable, and I
preferred those with extensive citations for stronger support in building
the credibility of my proposal.
FINDINGS:
This module taught me vital lessons about writing a research paper,
emphasising the challenges that go beyond data collection. It
highlighted the need for thoughtful consideration and dedicated effort
for a successful outcome. I learned the importance of effective time
management, especially when facing heavy workloads from other classes.
Drawing from past experiences, I refined my approach and tracked my
progress to overcome difficulties. In the end, this module enhanced my
research skills, providing valuable insights and broadening my
understanding of topics in my chosen specialisation.
