 This quarter, I learned about Community-Based Research (CBR) and how to design our research using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). CBR taught me that involving the community in research helps make the results more useful and meaningful to them.   One challenge I faced was designing our research document using CSS. Since I didn’t know much about CSS, it was hard to make the layout clean and well-organized. I had trouble with aligning text, choosing font styles, and keeping the format consistent.  To overcome this, I watched tutorials, practiced with simple designs, and asked for help from classmates. These efforts helped me improve my design skills little by little.  Moving forward, I will keep learning CSS to make better research designs. I will also make sure to involve the community in future research to make it more valuable and helpful.
