What I learned from undertaking my research projects

This was the first time I wrote a research paper. So I have leant a lot.  I came to known what a research paper should be like, how to prepare for the research paper,   how to look for information in library as well as some formatting skills.

 

What I found difficult about completing these projects

I found that to read a book to look for the information is quite painful and it took a long time.

 

It's me!

What I learned about teamwork while working on the projects

In the survey project, most of the work was done by my partner and I together. To design the questionnaire, my partner and I exchanged ideas and corrected for several times. We did some of our first interviews together to gain some experience and confidence. At last we divided the report to several parts and each of us took two or three parts. It is very efficient to to such work with someone together.

 

What I learned about library research and citing my sources

Try to use variety of key words related to  the topic is very important otherwise few useful book could be found. To use the online sources, it should be very careful because quite a few website are not reliable very much.

 

Advice for next year's students

Begin your work as early as possible, so that there will be enough time for your to get the feedback from your teacher and make improvement. To master some digital skill will make your work very effective.
