Final Reflection (RC3)
After speaking to my supervisor, we agreed on the fact that I developed my research skills and ability to work independently. Personally, I felt that if I had those skills from the start, I would have been more proactive throughout the process of writing the EE. This could have enabled my thinking to be more thorough and focused as I would have a clearer idea as to what my aim of the essay was. I feel that I could have done much more research especially because the topic of my EE was unfamiliar. I could have had a more in-depth understanding of the techniques used in visual arts to make my EE more detailed. During the process, I often questioned the aim of my essay since I would often side-track from my question. I learned that although the essay is 4000 words, I had to make my arguments clear and related to my question which enabled me to keep a focused argument. Since my essay was on Language and Literature, I wondered how I would incorporate research into the analysis without relying on the internet for ideas. I realised that I could use research to deepen my personal analysis instead.
