Project 2 Reflection: Discovery


When I was given this assignment I thought it was simple and that it was going to be fun and easy. As I started working on it I realized it was a little more complicated than what I had expected but it was still fun. At first I had an idea for what I wanted to write about but then I realized it was going to be really hard to find sources that could be related to my topic, so I ended up changing my topic to places to exercise on ASU. I enjoyed having to go to the different areas and experiencing them. I hadn't gone to many of the places I wrote about so I learned a lot about my school. One of the things I struggled with the most was finding an academic source to back up my information. Another thing I struggled with while doing this project was making my introduction 800 words. At first I didn't know what type of information I had to include in this and what the criteria was supposed to be like. Because of this I went to a workshop and one of the teachers was able to explain to me what they meant with criteria and gave me some ideas for my introduction. Once I did this the rest of the project was pretty easy. I think I did well in the evaluation of all of my places and on laying them out on blogger. Considering that I wasn't able to attend the workshop that talked about how to set up the map on blogger I did pretty well figuring it all out and setting it up. . I really liked the way we were supposed to set up the map and posts on blogger because it allowed us to be creative with the design of each blog. I liked having to look for pictures and take pictures of the campus and getting to know and explore the campus. It also helped me figure out different places where I could potentially work out at and informed be about something I had wanted to get more information on, the tennis center. The only reason why I struggled was because I left everything for the last minute. I didn't focus a lot on my rough draft and therefore didn’t have much to work with. I basically had to write everything at one time. For next project I will focus a lot more on the rough draft and take it more seriously. I think this will help me with the editing process and will make these projects less stressful. It will also give me more time to go to different workshops and get feedback from different teachers which will probably make my final draft ten times better
