    • Not communicating clearly with team members.
    • Failing to take responsibility for own tasks.
    • Skipping the review stage after activities.
    • Misconception: 'If a website looks professional, its information must be true.' Correction: Always check the source, date, and author of online information. Professional design does not guarantee accuracy.
    • Misconception: 'Using the same password for everything is fine as long as it's strong.' Correction: Reusing passwords increases risk; if one account is compromised, others become vulnerable. Use unique passwords for each account.
