I learned that internet research can be a valuable tool for research. However, I also learned that it is important to be critical of internet sources and to evaluate them carefully. I also learned that it is important to use a variety of internet sources and to avoid relying on a single source.

I learned that APA writing is a style of writing that is used in academic research. I learned that APA writing has its own format and style guidelines, and that it is important to follow these guidelines when writing APA papers.
I also learned a number of skills or additional techniques that I can use in my future research. These skills include:
- How to use a variety of research methods, including surveys, interviews, and observation.
- How to analyze data and draw conclusions.
- How to write clear and concise research papers.

I learned a lot about my own research process and style. I learned that I am a visual learner and that I prefer to use mind maps and concept maps to organize my research findings. I also learned that I am a critical thinker and that I am good at evaluating sources.
If I had another opportunity, I would change my research process by starting earlier and by being more organized. I would also try to use a wider variety of sources and to be more critical of my sources.
One of the challenges I overcame during the course was learning to use APA style. APA style is a complex style and it took me some time to learn the rules. However, I eventually mastered APA style and I am now able to use it confidently.

- Solve problems.
- Make decisions.
- Develop new products and services.
- Market my products and services.
I am confident that the skills and knowledge I learned in this course will be valuable to me in my future career.
