Reflection on the Process of Creating a LinkedIn Profile:

When I first created my LinkedIn profile, I realized the power of this online job platform. LinkedIn is indeed a powerful platform that connects employers with applicants all over the world, but being able to create a good profile that shows my strength and competitiveness is not an easy thing. There are many aspects I need to take account of such as profile picture, summary writing, and other important details. Also, a good LinkedIn profile cannot be finished in one time. I should check and update my information at a regular basis to keep my profile complete and latest.

 

Reflection on the Process of Brainstorming and Preparing Report Proposal and Outline:

Brainstorming and preparing report proposal and outline cost me a huge amount of time. I learned that creating and organizing the ideas are important writing ability and this ability needs practice and improvement.

For the proposal, choosing an appropriate topic is a priority to do, and this topic has a big impact on your rest work. The inappropriate topic may increase the difficulty of a formal report and make your readers dislike the report. Second, we need to ask the right questions in our proposal, which means the ethical and legal concerns should be considered.

For the outline, I learned that a hierarchical structure should be used for each level. Topic, subtopic, detail and other information should be labeled and indented properly. Besides, make clear who is your reader, not only the administration body but specific people. Explicit readers could help me guide my report and address them.

 

Reflection on Progress Report:

The progress report is a new thing to me and this is also my first time to write a progress report. In the previous, I wrote my report based only on the final due date and did not have any plan or schedule. I realized progress report could help me divide my report into many small sections and finish that one by one, which is a very good practice for me to write reports in the future.

 

Reflection on Peer Review Process:

One of the biggest point I learned during the process of peer review is using the subtitles to break the article into several sections. By doing this, your readers can have a clear structure and organization when they are reading your article. Subtitles or subtopics also navigate readers to get what they want. However, my partner exposure some problems that I need to avoid. For example, she confuses me about who her reader is.

 

Overall

During this unit, I learned how to create a LinkedIn profile and write a proposal, outline and progress report. I believe these skills would be beneficial to my career in the future.
