that I will take forward. The module has introduced me to the basic academic research practices
and the practice of writing and critical thinking, which I have to keep in mind in order to
continue writing. It had presented things in such a way that the minute details has been illustrated
and it became easier to understand and reflect in the report. The teachings that has been received
by the modules are essential and they are so basic that each part will be helpful for both the
beginners as well as the experienced writer, in case they need a brush up or if they want to
transfer their knowledge to someone else.

and discussed the advantages of the research in any field. It has establishes the importance of the
critical thinking and the revision of the work that has been already done. Both of them helps in
enriching the knowledge which you have already gained and in this way it becomes easier to
