REFLECTION

Throughout the course, researching and writing this study was incredibly rewarding. With my previous experience, I was able to write it more quickly. However, I personally felt that this assignment was more challenging than the last. From the first class to the last, I felt that the assignment became increasingly difficult, and the amount of revisions required increased. Fortunately, my instructor was very responsive and provided me with a lot of advice and support throughout the entire process.

Furthermore, I gained a deeper understanding of how to write a dissertation, realizing that every aspect of the dissertation is interconnected. Papers are very rigorous, and we can't just do things as we please. This assignment really gave me a lot of experience, and I believe it will be of great benefit to me in the future.
