REFLECTION
Reflection on the articles
The process of the selection of the articles was in itself a very comprehensive process
where in order to select the relevant articles related to the topic. In order to find the relevant
articles I had to undertake a lot of reading and make comparisons as well so that I can identify
out those articles that would contribute highest in the overall assignment completion. The major
difficulties hat I faced was the amount of time that it was consuming as all of my classmates
were already submitting in their articles and the complete assignment and I was still in the
process of finding the most appropriate ones and then selecting it. I consulted my tutor ultimately
regarding the major problem that I was facing which would ultimately affect my assignment and
its quality as well if I had spent too much time looking for the relevant articles. It was my teacher
then who taught me that the best way of selecting a article is to first read the abstract. Abstract is
the gist which contains the essence of the article in one or two lines (Bower, 2017). This would
save my time and help me in correct and quicker selection. This technique was immensely
helpful and I will use it in future as well so that I can increase the quality of work that I perform
and select relevant articles.
Reflection on the experience
Throughout my experience of the research that I conducted I can adequately say that there
was some major learning that I developed and this occurred in the positive as well negative
manner. I can adequately say that I am very good at the analytical skills where I am easily able to
analyze the data that has been presented and also ascertain the basic interpretation of the data that
it is trying to present (Becker and et.al., 2016). This is mainly due to the logical flow of my mind
where I am able to understand the meaning of the data as and when I read it. This was immensely
beneficial in my overall research.
However, I recognised that I am not very good at meeting deadlines and this is often due to
the extensive research that I conduct. I study the topic in too much depth which often leaves me
confused and this ultimately delays the timeline that have been allotted for the completion of the
different tasks. I need to learn how to create a balance between the research that I am
performing, the in- depth analysis that I am conducting and then implementing and integrating
such research with the major objectives of the assignment effectively. I need to learn and work
