reflective post for Midterm Research

    In the midterm research assignment, I have recalled my knowledge about academic research skills and APA format citing, which I have done before in my previous writing courses in SFU. 
    What I have improved is that I used to use a few databases to do my research, but now I can use multiple databases to search my sources. Also, I used to do my searches among only published product, whereas I searched among different forms of sources during my midterm assignment(including videos and images). And by answering those questions, I also summarized the advantages and disadvantages about each researching method.
    One most critical thing is that I have got amazing sources in different formats about my final research papers. That brings me to a good starting point of my final paper.

      The most important thing that I have learned from the reflective paper is how to summarize my personal performance and how to get improved by going through those summaries. The challenge things for me to write the reflective paper is to recall all the knowledge I have learned from the first five weeks, and to recall my performance during classes and group activities.
      Also, during writing that paper, I have learned how to connect artifacts with my writing, and how to get further experiences and knowledge from those artifacts.
