Metabolic Pathways And Environmental Controls

While conducting the entire research study, I have found out the major strengths of the work. I could explore the consequences due to the BP oil spill. I am good at internet surfing and collecting the necessary information regarding the incident. I am quite efficient in communicating the issues and facts regarding this incident. I could therefore obtain the idea about the effects of such explosion by communicating with the personnel and workers of the company. I could effectively engage myself to prepare the presentation including the sequential steps of cause and effects of the scenario.

• Cross checking the information
• Implementing critical thinking
• Capacity Building
• Evaluation of Self-Assessment Study
• Preparation of attractive presentation

While conducting this study, I could find some of the recognizable and significant limitations. It is thus necessary to bring some of the improvements in the assessment task and overcoming these limitations accordingly. It is essential to review the information and crosscheck with the information collected from the secondary sources. Improvement of the critical thinking to calculate the past and future risks may occur due to such incident. Frequently evaluating the self-assessment study is also necessary. Making the attractive presentation to clarify the entire subject matter will determine the relevance of the study.

• Difficulties in communicating with the staffs and the managers and gathering the necessary information
• Difficulties faced in arranging meeting with them.
• Permission to take access on the library computers
• Time Limitation
• Presenting the presentation in front of others was also challenging.

            The journey of conducting this study was equally challenging for the group. The challenges that we faced during this period are quite visible. It was quite difficult to communicate and gather knowledge about the incidents from the company itself. The workers and the managers did not provide the complete information about the future study. It was quite tough to arrange meeting and permission to communicate with the staffs and the managers of the company. Receiving the permission for the computer access was also difficult for us. The time limitation was quite challenging for us. Presenting the information in front of everyone was making us much nervous
