Learning:
 
----- 2022 July -----
"While working on this article, I learned of the monopolistic nature of electricity market, the current SCAs in Hong Kong and the new concept of rate of return regulation, which I have not heard before. Reading this article has shown me ways to logically analyse and make connections across different economic policies in terms of their pros and cons. The research process has also taught me the valuable skills of searching and gathering data.

Moreover, in turning the article into a video, I gained more proficiency in using Camtasia, Audacity and Microsoft PPT for presentation and video production; in trying to explain economic concepts, I was encouraged convey ideas in a more creative and interactive way, by using examples and step-by-step animations."

----- 2022 August -----
"Technical wise, I became more efficient in ppt making and video production because it took me a much shorter time. I also realized that I can better understand the logic of the article, if, after reading the article for the first time, I do some research on the key concepts and then read relevant external materials."
