Which of the above skills did you improve during exhibition? How did this happen? Locating and understanding
information from different sources: I improved this skill by having to look through articles and different information
sources to find what I needed and then I eventually I got used to it and got better at it.

Which of the above skills do you need to keep working on? Why? Using key questions to guide my research: I need to work
on that because I really don’t use keywords very much and if I use keywords it would make taking notes a lot easier, faster
