I believe my research and writing skills have changed. In the past time, I usually Google something and try to find the resources. Actually, it is hard to find reliable sites because I need to confirm those from academic websites or government or some reliable organization. After this course, I knew there are a lot of ways instead just google something. For example, Google Scholar is a good place to help me with finding great and reliable resources. I agree that my writing skill has been improved too. Unlike before, I’d like to make a checklist now. This is a really straightforward way to help me organize the logic and check whether I miss something.

I definitely would like to bring these skills to my future. Nowadays, there are thousands of tons of information provided online. Finding useful and high-quality resources become a new challenge. Not only the search tools, but also compare the resources, read comments, and get suggestions from friends. All of them would enhance my research skills. Meanwhile, In my view, writing will still be an important role in my career. For example, reporting something during a meeting. So, clear logic is necessary and I need to master it.

Talking about getting suggestions from friends or classmates. Honestly, this was the one that most challenged me. I used to be shy during communication. Especially, English is not my first language. So, I was not confident in my speaking. And this troubled me for a long time. Well, we had practices in this course like in the break-out rooms. And I remember we need to get suggestions from friends on that fast fix project. I really appreciate that I learned a lot in this course.

I had very good communication with my roommate. He never experienced this kind of problem. After introducing my proposal and illustrating my procedure, he was interested in my works. So, from his feedback, he didn't give me some suggestions because he said he understand the procedure and these steps. Meanwhile, he said it's clear and easy to follow them. He was satisfied with my procedure. To make my procedure better, I continue to the next step, which is looking at online instructions and videos. The videos were helpful. I added one more step to make it even better. At the same time, I learned several units' names. The way I call them is just in my way, users may not understand which unit I refer to. So, I updated steps and unit names after I watched videos.

The first one is that I need to do more practice on Google Scholar. It is a good place to find the articles, but I still need to practice filtering or try different keywords.

The second one would be my grammar and words. I'm keeping learning and improving my English. Sometimes, I don't want to use a word repeatedly. I want to replace it with a similar word, but I cannot do it. I would like to read more articles and reports to learn new words. Meanwhile, updating my grammar skill. Of course, I need to emphasize that if I get a grammar problem or use the wrong words, please let me know, I'd like to learn it.

When I begin to research the device that I picked, I followed the steps on the IFIXIT website. Firstly, look for product pages on the manufacturer’s website. I searched the device brand’s keyword to swap its official website. Secondly, I found the device’s Owner’s manual which I followed the step of IFIXIT troubleshooting information. During the research, I roughly browsed several related web pages and then made a comparison, selected the most suitable one, and looked at its introduction in detail. In addition, I also looked at its product instructions, roughly understand the use of the product. When I finished the research, I bookmarked the link because it helps me to find them again quickly and easily in the future.

1.  High definition Photograph

I tried to take the photos for each step in a high definition quality. For example, focusing on the majority point and giving the enough lights.

2.   Color mark in key spot

In order to make the photos more clear, I had circled key spots in the photos. And they had same colour with the bullets, which is matching the steps
3.   Checklist to review the whole steps
This is the most useful part I learned in this project. Helped me check what I've done and what I missed. For example, my introduction was pretty short and I though that was enough. However, after I looked at the checklist, I realized that I need to write more information like why we need this fast fix project and how.

The most challenging part is summarizing the background and identification. Deal with the problem, I need to go thought the long PDF of information in device manual. With finding useful keywords, I underlined some sentences and words so that I can use it after searching. To understand some special terms, I read the explanation carefully or searched from internet hat I can come out the identification of the device. For example, any types of power, sizes, or oil. Then I roughly know what it does and how it works.

Checklists must play an important role in my work. When I work on my first point, I need to think about what should I write and how to explain them in detail. But the key is that I may not cover all the details. Hence, the checklist in the assignment helped me with it.

A checklist has another vital function. Even if I listed what I want to share, I may still leave something interesting that I haven't come up with. So, once I want to add more content, I can just add them to the list and then work on my draft. It won't have a serious situation in which I wrote something is duplicated. Overall, I should create and use a checklist very frequently. It definitely helps me a lot.

1. find credible sources

This project was a good practice that helped me to be more familiar with searching functions. Google Scholar, websites those end with edu, gov, etc.  Even our library is a good choice too.
2. comparison

Even if there are a small bunch of websites that I can use, some websites have very similar content. But it depends on comparing. I compared and filtered them and got the results.
