To be honest, I
was not a fan of project 2. I found it to be very confusing, a struggle. I was
never completely sure if I was doing things the right way, which did not make
me, feel very confident about my work. What I struggled with the most was
interpreting the format of the project. With that being said, I did go to
workshop where I did receive advice, however, it was still a little confusing. I
had tried going to others for help but they had never worked on a similar
project so they did not know where to start either. Now I am worried about how
my grade will be affected by this project.
As I was very confused with the project,
something I believe I did well was finding sources for evidence. In my
research, I learned health facts that I did not know of before this project. I
was able to incorporate the facts and ideas that came from the sources to help
make connections between the mountain and fitness, therefore, I believe that
the sources played a big role in supporting my claim of how “A” Mountain is great
for alternative exercise.
Aside from learning more about
health and fitness, I learned how important it is to ask questions. There is no
harm in asking questions if the answers could potentially help my project. I
feel I did not ask as many questions as I should have. In future assignments to
come, I will make sure I continue to ask questions until I have a full
understanding of the project expectations.
For my future writing assignments, I
plan on adding an extra step in to my writing process. If I begin to create
multiple drafts of the paper, my assignment could only get stronger and better.
For each draft, I plan on writing the draft, revising, editing, and then start
the process over again. I will also have more people revise my assignments for
which the more feedback I receive the better.
A huge part of this project was
crafting a strong evaluation. In order to craft a strong evaluation, one must
have set criteria they follow in order to make their evaluation more credible. I
believe that was an issue for me in this project. I wasn’t sure how to explain
to my audience how based off my criteria, the paths are good for fitness. I
feel the sources made a stronger point than my criteria. For the future, I will
try to pick a broader topic for which it will be easier to decide what criteria
will be used in my evaluation. A broader topic may also bring stronger
criteria.
The good thing about my evaluation
is the fact you can conduct a similar one almost anywhere in the community. For
example, if I wanted another fitness alternative, I could evaluate a local park
or gym. The criteria may be different for each place but I will have a general idea
of what the criteria may be after evaluating “A” Mountain.
