<p>But I was not fairly satisfied about my productivity, anyway, let's focus on the improvement.</p>
<p>After submission, I had a talk with Maryam and Freya this afternoon receptively, which gave me some inspiration.</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<ul>
<li>I came across a paper which I thought was well related to my topic, but it took me literally three hours to understand the language in linguistics and pragmatics. Gosh~ </li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>So, how can I improve in the (critical) reading stage.[It seems like I am coaching myself]. Well, maybe I should try reading around papers that focuses on one particular topic at one time. Instead, one is about phycics, and next one is about business. </li>
<li>Furthermore, in terms of searching reference, searching by terms may not be an effective way because they are somehow random. Alternatively, I can trace some scholars' works in a systematic way. But at the beginning, I need a good ‘start’.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>When it comes to writing a zero draft or first draft, it is still a nightmare. I cannot write a zero draft without any judgement. But fortunately, I think I probably found out the antidote. </li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>The culprit is typing. Contrary to typing on the keyboard, I feel my thought flow more smooth when handwriting! The potential reason is when I was typing it seems too easy to delete, correct or move sentences. All of these will block your mind, once you are blocked, you gotta time to judge the quality of your content, which just make things worse. However, when I was handwriting or speaking, I seldom looking back, but only keep going.</li>

<p>Cool~Let's see how it works since I got another PMA due by next monday.</p><p>The 4th PMA is gone with a lovely weather.</p>

<p>Cool~Let's see how it works since I got another PMA due by next monday.</p>03rd PMA by Lulu QuLulu Quhttps://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/qululu/entry/3rd_pma/2020-01-20T23:08:50Z2020-01-20T23:08:50Z<p>There are some improvement I made during the process of the third PMA of FACS, which saves me a lot of time.</p>
<ul>
<li>I calculated relevant ratios first and make a list of My Questions according to these ratios.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Then, I look for answers to my questions in the given annual reports of two case study PLC companies.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Apart from that, I put off some things after the submission.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of them looks like quite easy but not that easy to do them, at least for me.</p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p>Personally I think the FACS PMA is the easiest one because we don't need to find and read much reference.</p>
<p>I would like to try another method to improve my efficiency in the next LE PMA.</p>
<ul>
<li>Zero draft: write down everything you know out of your brian,<strong> without any judgement and critical thinking</strong>. No matter it are words, phrases, or sentences. I plan to review and organise the class notes every day so that I don't need to spent more than 4 hours after the module.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>First draft: Based on the freestyle writing, I would have my own questiosn lists and look for support or counterargument from reliable reference.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Second draft: Analyse, Synthesis, Evaluate and apply them into the specific situations.</li>
</ul>
