Experience：

Throughout the semester, I was continuously involved in the entire research process, from writing the initial draft, literature review, refining the methodology and discussion sections, to the final paper, visual design, and journal article preparation. Through weekly writing and revisions, I gradually completed the paper's structure and continuously adjusted the content, format, and research depth under the guidance of my lecturer. Furthermore, in later assignments, I combined visual design with research writing, gaining more comprehensive practical experience in cover design, image usage, and academic standards. This process not only trained my research skills but also familiarized me with the complete process of academic paper submission, from draft to final submission.

Observation

During the repeated revisions, I observed that my understanding of academic paper formatting, citation conventions, and structural logic was still immature in the early stages, particularly in areas such as insufficient citations, non-standard formatting, and a lack of depth in discussion. The instructor's feedback was very specific, not only pointing out the problems but also helping me understand the standard requirements of academic writing through examples, PPT guidance, and written annotations. Furthermore, I realized that academic writing is not merely about completing content; it also requires a high degree of rigor in details such as heading hierarchy, table of contents alignment, APA citation order, and image labeling.

Finding

Through this series of revisions and improvements, I gradually realized that academic research writing is a gradual and continuously corrective process. A clear structure, standardized format, and a close connection between data and research questions are the core of a qualified research paper. At the same time, I also deeply appreciated the importance of following templates and academic norms, which not only improves the professionalism of the paper but also enhances the credibility of the research. Ultimately, through repeated adjustments, I improved my independent research and academic writing skills, laying a more solid foundation for future graduation theses or journal submissions.
