Reflection

From this third assessment, I learned many things about academic writing. First, I learned the basic style for citation (footnotes and bibliography), I learned that it’s very important to cite because if not then it means plagiarism. Besides that, I also learned about different types of academic writing (compare and contrast essay, partial essay), and to write with formal language. I learned to write with my own words, although many of the ideas are not mine. The reason is that I don’t familiar with the topic, and my habits to search things first in the internet before writing with my own words.
For the technological issue, I think I have known The Sims better than before. I get to know the features and online communities well. I was surprised that actually The Sims originated from a fire tragedy.
I was very tired in making this assessment, because I have to write in my own words, and I have to cite in the form of footnotes, which I am not get used to. I feel very exhausted but I also enjoy in making different types of text, especially in making the poster. Beside, The Sims is one of my favourite topics and I have an experience in playing The Sims itself. It’s a very interesting topic.
I'm glad that finally this assessment is finished, although I don't put much effort to it, since I have to do the other works in other subjects.
