1.    What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?
In this module, I believe that it surely developed my researching skills. Pick up the key words from my chosen quote and Using LCA library, google books and scholar, search on websites. From that, I learned how to take elements from research and to explore it visually in my sketchbook.
2. What approaches to/methods of research have you developed and how have they informed your practical outcomes?
During the researching stage, I develop my research by reading articles, theories, and some survey. Finding elements from a book is also important although I haven’t used it that much in my research. I develop my visual journal by taking some elements from illustrations and articles; they influenced me to explore my idea visually.
3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?
I think the works in my visual journal shows the ideas that I want to argue. I think collage work quite effective.
4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?
I think the logic of text in my essay is quite messy and confusing sometimes. I think I need to focus just only one aspect. I find it difficult to finding research from the library; I still need to practice my skills of researching in the future.  The quality of my work also have to be enhanced; I need to refine my work more in the future.
