Skills audit. Thinking back to the research i have conducted for my AS practical work; how have my skills in research developed since then?

Back in my AS year I wasn't so confident on researching for my film practical work. I didn't really know what to research about. However, after researching many times throughout the year, I have grown confident in evaluating my practical work.
I have learnt how to lead a practical session.
I didn't know where to start when researching about camera work or editing. Soon after practising and learning, I now know what type of software and websites to use to conduct my research. Example – Final cut Pro, Murally etc.
