1. Evaluate the effectiveness and your usefulness of the learning experience
The learning process has been a learning one since I have learnt quite a few things. I was not
aware of the different aspects of the research topic. The topic of cloud computing was a
completely new topic for me. I did a lot of background research on the research topic and got to
know the uniqueness of the topic. I have also learnt the attributes of a good research paper,
which would not be learnt otherwise. I have also learnt the aspect of group work in my research
work, which would be effective in my future professional life too. When I would be venturing
into my professional world, then I would be supposed to do team work. I need to work well with
people and need to learn the different aspects of team work. I have also enhanced my knowledge
base on the topic, which has contributed to my overall development of skills. This has created
value to my learning experience and I would apply these learning in my future professional life.
2. Explain how this learning process will be useful to you
The learning process would be useful to my future career. When I would be venturing into
future professional life or would take up a higher education course, then this learning experience
would matter a lot for me. If I enroll myself into a post-doctorate program, then I need to know
about the research structure and how to perform a particular research. This course assignment
has given me the experience about how to implement a proper research proposal. I am
knowledgeable about the exact content of a proposal and know what I should include in them.
When I would be venturing into the future corporate world, then I should have a solid foundation
of the theory as well as should know how to perform in a group. I have learnt these aspects while
doing this course. In my life, I would also imbibe the principles of patience and perseverance,
which I have gathered through this course.

3. Describe objectively what happened in the learning process
I have read, seen and heard a lot while going through this learning process. I have read a
variety of journals, publications, research papers and other documents for the purpose of doing
this assignment in a perfect manner. I have gained knowledge regarding the comparative new
field of cloud computing and I am happy that I have learnt something new. I have also seen my
colleagues do the same like me and they have also started to discuss the academic concepts with
others. I have heard that if we discuss our learning with each other, then we would be able to
enhance our knowledge in a much better way. I would be fortunate enough if I am able to expand
my knowledge in a positive manner and by interacting with other team members.
4. Evaluate what you learn
The business research was really helpful in my learning process. I have learnt the fact that the
research process needs to be done in a perfect manner and hence I need to focus on the research
structure. While going through this course, I have learnt the proper format of the writing a
business report and this has helped me a lot. I was not aware about the different aspects of the
research methodology section. After going through this course, I have understood that the fact
that there are different subsections of this section such as research design, research philosophy,
data collection methods, data analysis methods and others. This would help me in carrying out
the future research processes in a much smoother manner. If I would carry out an independent
research in the future, then the learning from this course would help me a lot.
5. Explain your learning process

The first part of the assignment helped me to gain a deeper understanding of the research
topic. The in-depth literature review helped me to understand how critical analysis is being done
on a given topic. I have understood the fact that I need to critically compare the viewpoints of the
various authors and how their thoughts have contributed to the development of our own research
topic. The second assignment of this course has helped me to understand the actual structure of
the research process and how it can be done in the best possible manner.
At the beginning of the course, I felt helpless and clueless. I was not sure about the exact
research structure and hence often felt lost. However, after going through the course, I was
confident about the exact way of doing things and how the research structure would help me to
receive greater graders. I felt proud of the fact that I have imbibed positive learning from this
course and I would successfully apply them in my future professional life.
6. Explain Plan how this learning you will applied
The learning from this course is highly relevant to my life and also to my future profession. I
have learnt the aspect of team work and how responsibility is being shared among team
members. I have learnt that I should be punctual and hard working in my professional life. When
I would be venturing into future corporate life, then I would need to adhere to the deadlines. This
course has helped me to realize that the tasks should be submitted within the deadline and it is
important to stick to the allocated time. I have also learnt that I need to display good writing
skills and this would be applicable to my future professional life as well. I need to write excellent
business reports or emails in my future career, which would demand me to be proficient in
writing. This course has helped me to hone my writing skills as well.
