  REFLECTION   

The process of creating this journal article has been an enlightening one. my main goal in creating this journal article was to ensure my academic peers will gain access to clear, cohesive information on nudge theory so they may run their own research efficiently and effectively. For this task specifically, I was not able to get much feedback from Dr Hayati as my progress was rather slow and I couldn't show her my work. 

I feel very relieved to finally finish my two research modules. With that said, I would like to thank Dr Hayati for all her patience and guidance throughout the past 15 weeks. She even got sick and was feeling very unwell for a quite a while but fortunately, she recovered and continued to help us students in our journey. I am forever indebted to Dr Hayati, thank you, thank you, thank you!

During the 6 weeks of preparing this book,  I have learned several things. firstly, I learned the entire process of designing a book from start to finish. this includes things like planning the outline, writing the first draft, proofreading, and cover design. in the future, I would like to extend my learning to include manufacturing and distributing my book as this would constitute a complete cycle of creating a book from start to finish. one thing I found challenging is the timeline given to complete the preparation of this book. however, every trial and tribulation in life is an opportunity to improve one's skills. I faced the challenge head-on and am proud to be able to complete the task within the time given. it has exceeded my expectations and am confident all who read this book will gain a clearer understanding of the nudge theory, how it works, and how they can use it positively in their daily lives. The biggest obstacle that stymied my progress was when I had to submit my work to Turnitin and the similarity result was returned at 20%. I was abhorred by the idea that I plagiarised the work of my peers and esteemed researchers. after all, I did use references from other trusted journal articles but they were abbreviated for clarity and due acknowledgment and references were given. fortunately, after reviewing the Turnitin results, it seems that the big majority of the similarity was from items such as the table of contents and common terms used in the discussion of nudge theory. ultimately, I am proud of the outcome of this journal article, and I am confident it is a reliable resource for anyone who wishes to use it for their research on nudge theory.
