The major focus of this unit was to compose a formal report and introduce a project that serves a community or a workplace. The process taught me about many new research areas and how to communicate the results in a professional way. A peer review was involved as well and more advanced methods were introduced.

Reflection on original writing:

This unit’s assignment was both interesting and challenging. It highlights certain skills within our field of specialty that probably is not being utilized. Conducting research to solve a problem, backing it up with firm evidence and offering reasonable solutions, is another way of using our experience and expertise to enhance and improve working environment.  Choose such project, gave me a great satisfaction through the process of thinking and finding the best solutions. Following the process of proposal and outlining shaped the organization into a clear pathway of where this assignment is headed. Therefore, being focused on the problem and finding the proper solutions could facilitate the implementation of this proposal.

Reflection on peer review process:

Exchanging point of views and sharing our expertise with another teammate is a two-way learning experience. I had a great time reading what my colleague, Simone, proposed for her formal report, I found her process of thought and organization of ideas is very focused. This helped me reflecting on my own work. The incredible suggestions and recommendations I received also contributed to added knowledge and polished writing. I was able to provide feedback and command the detailed work that Simone had. This keeps getting more interesting and enhance our learning scale.

Reflection on the editing process:

The editing part of this assignment have to be particular in my opinion. Because this project has more steps, having a correct foundation will ease the following stages. The few grammatical corrections needed made me curious to review some grammars and writing methods. It is a great encouragement to have the support of my peer review partner who took a great interest in my writing and made sure to provide both positive and constructive feedback. This type of learning is less stressful and more friendly; team spirit and sharing knowledge skill will be gained and shaped for the betterment of both parties.

Future Goal:

Will employ the research skills and methods of presenting a project in my workplace.
