Reflective Narrative: In order to plan, start, and finish a capstone project I first had to learn the proper ways for research and manage information to slowly build a formal capstone research project. We had a few classes that were solely focused on gathering sources and information through computer searches on our own personal computers and also at the library. Managing all of the sources that I gathered was difficult but we learned very good ways to keep these sources manageable through annotated bibliographies. In JAPN 403 I also learned how to use programs that help annotating bibliographies. I have used that program countless of times for other classes as well. Both JAPN 403 and 404 have taught me the importance of keeping files downloaded on an internet cloud storage. This is an easy way to backup data or even share your data easily.
