10. Yes it is, in my opinion, the most difficult part to understand is the
result and discussion sections, because to collect data we should
be able to read what method is used by the author because not
everyone is an expert in reading data like graphic, percentage,
etc. Therefore we should know how to read the data in various
forms because the next step of the result are discussion and
conclusion. In this part, it is very dependent on this section
because is we can’t read the data, we will not be able to get the
data as clear as possible and can’t make the conclusion.
Reflection
