REFLECTIONS

Experiences

In completing my design research paper, I gained invaluable experience, from the initial research framework to the visual presentation of the findings, culminating in the final paper. This experience significantly improved my ability to organize tasks and manage time effectively.

Observations

Throughout this process, I found my supervisor's feedback crucial. It helped me identify areas of ambiguity in my arguments and refine the logical structure. I also noticed a close connection between different tasks; from drafting to visual design, each stage supported the next.

Findings

Through these experiences and observations, I discovered that planning a clear research structure from the outset significantly improves efficiency; visual presentation enhances the accessibility and impact of research findings; and iterative improvement based on continuous reflection and feedback is far more effective than attempting to complete all tasks at once. Ultimately, this not only improved the quality of my paper but also boosted my confidence as a researcher.
