Reflection
The semester has gone by so quickly and it's hard to believe that this
module is almost complete. Although it was challenging, it significantly
improved my writing and critical thinking skills. When I started my degree, I
never imagined that I would learn to conduct research and write my own thesis.
Thanks to Dr. Jinchi's guidance, my writing has become clearer and I have
gained a deeper understanding of my research style.
For task 1, we drafted the paper covering sections such as abstract, introduction, methodology, and findings. My biggest challenge was the findings and discussion sections, but Dr. Jinchi's introduced us to using a matrix to organize responses. This approach has been a game changer, helping me avoid feeling overwhelmed and making my work more structured.
Task 3 involves editing based on feedback and submitting the paper to Turnitin. While my similarity score of 12% was acceptable, I was frustrated to see the AI percentage at 23%. Fortunately, Dr. Jinchi allowed me to revise my work and helped me improve the originality and quality. Task 4 is simpler and focuses on improving the content of the Kreate article.
This module is extremely valuable. Whenever I feel stuck in other coursework, I turn to this course because it's authentic and thought-provoking. It also helped improve my language skills, which I really appreciate. Special thanks to Dr. Jinchi's for her patience and encouragement. Without her, my paper would not be possible today.
