Unit Two Reflection
Unit 2 has focused on a few useful professional tools namely:
- Learning how to create a professional LinkedIn Profile
- Drafting a Formal Research Report Proposal
- Peer Review of Formal Research Proposal and LinkedIn Profile
I will discuss each learning object in the followings paragraphs.
learning to create a professional Linkedin profile helps me realize that having online presence is key to networking in nowadays. During the assignment, I implemented some of the tips and recommendations used to create a professional looking profile. I am slowing getting used to this social media platform as I believe it is going to be another channel for me to explore future career opportunities. In addition, the peer review process is also very constructive because reviewing my partner’s profile allows to see the areas of the profile that I need to revise so that it would draw more attention and views from the platform.
drafting a formal research proposal is the most challenging component of this unit as it commands the writer to have an in-depth understanding of the purpose of the proposal and the target audience of the proposal. I initially did not include the required components in my report, which in turn, has caused confusion to my readers. However, through Dr.Erika’s help, I have revised my report to include all the relevant information to progress to the next step of my formal research report.
By reviewing my partner’s proposal, I learned how to include the most appropriate amount of information as my proposal contains too much irrelevant information. On the other hand, my review for my partner did not include as many useful tips as hers. I believe in the next unit, I will ensure that my review will be filled with details and examples on how to improve her work.
Furthermore, my project formal report outline is very helpful because it will serve as a guideline to follow until I finish my report. This is an excellent approach to see what is left to be done, acting like a todo list for me.
Overall, I have learnt a lot of tools to improve my writing in this unit and I am looking forward to learning my strategies to further better my skills.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my unit two reflection. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
