Reflection

This is my first attempt of creating an academic blog, which I think it is much harder than blogging for my own non-academic blog. It however has helped me understand more publication and designing issues these current years. I had to do a lot of researches in order to understand the issues which were brought up. As a communication student, it is a must for me to learn to understand any medium that are use to communicate messages to the audiences.

I have learn to know the importance of citation and reference. Previously I thought citation is just a reference for the lecturers to check for plagiarism, however now I realise that, it is important to also respect others' intellectual properties. One has taken the effort and time to produce such work and we shall not conveniently take others' work and claim it our own.

Besides that, I find that keeping an academic blog updated is my biggest challenge. Each and every entry must be written with references and based or link to any publication theories. That means, there are lots of readings to be done before a post (approximately 200 words) can be done. I myself have spent in an average 6 hours to complete a post. I hope my updating my blog frequently can help me in improving my writing skills and the ability to do effective researches.

In conclusion, this experience of creating an academic blog will certainly help me in understanding more about publication issues and I will try to apply those theories that I've learn in my personal blog.

Last but not least, thank you for visiting 'Limit of Infinity'. Feel free to drop some comments for any of my posts.
