SELF - REFLECTIVE REPORT
Writing portfolio which helps students a lot in improving important skills is one of the most effective projects of this semester. When conducting this challenging project, I had chance to practice my critical reading skill; summarizing and paraphrasing skills; reasoning skill; arguing skill and many other useful ones.
