I consider gathering data and writing clearly and effectively as two of my skills that improved. Right from the start, I’ve learned that gathering data is a very important skill for a devcom student. True enough, I have utilized this skill for a lot of tasks that were given to me. I consider this skill as the one that improved the most since I was able to learn different ways to gather various kinds of data through my experience in accomplishing our tasks. On the other hand, my skill of writing clearly and effectively also improved. I can say this since I already know the things to avoid when writing. However, I this skill still has a room for improvement. This also applies for all the other qualities and skills I have as a media writer. I will continue to strive in improving each of these aspects.
