Reflecting on my journey through this subject and project has been eye-opening, especially in how now i see reseach. before, I used to hate research considering it rigid, all about collecting and analyzing data without much room for personal input or creativity. Collecting resources and analyzing everything felt overwhelming at times.

This subject has completely changed my prespective, thanks to the guidance and support of my tutors. They showed me that research is a dynamic and broad activity that combines analytical accuracy, personal curiosity, and creativity. Designing my own research project was challenging but rewarding. It involvs defining clear objectives, choosing the right methods, and considering ethical issues.

one of the most valuable lessons I have learned is the importance of a well-defined research question. The question guides every step of the project, from the initial ideation to the final completion. Crafting this question required both theoretical understanding and practical consideration about what was activable and relevant. Addditionally, I have learned that a solid methodology is crucial to achieving my research aims and significance. A clear and well-structured methodology ensures that the research is conducted systematically, making the finding more reliable and valid.

The use of a Gantt chart marked a significant improvement in my organisational skills. It assisted me in planning and structuring the research process, breaking it down into manageable activities with specific deadlines. By visualising the schedule, I was able to anticipate possible concerns early on and stay organised, reducing stress throughout the study process.

Moreover, I have come to appreciate the interative nature of the research. Each phase planning, execution, analysis requires reflection and adjustment.. this process not only improves the quality of the finding but also fosters continuous learning and improvment. I realized that initial plan is the starting point, real research evolves through constant practice and adaptation.

I hope to keep and refine it for my future projects. The most important aspects of this journey have been balancing and adjusting to new information and ideas. While the structural approach ensures safety, flexibility, and adaptability allowed me to explore the topic more creatively. I believe that feedback is the most important free tool available to us, so I utilized this approach into my research design and had frequent feedback from my peers and instructors for my approach and ideas.

In conclusion, this reflective journey has transformed my view of research from a procedural tasks to a formal activity to a dynamic study of ideas and evidence. It has provided me with skills and insights that will guide how I approach future projects, ensuring that they are methodologically solid, intellectually challenging, and effective. The transformation from fear to appreciation has been deep, and I now regard research as an exciting and necessary component of my academic and professional development.
