'Project 2 Reflection: Strained

During this project I do have not felt as confident as in the past; I was struggling, that is something that I rarely find myself doing. This project was one in which I found new ground to be broken. While yes, I had written evaluations before they were always on something that was tangible. This project took me into a field of the intangible, both in how the project was created as well as what the project was developed on. I struggled with the fact that I had no idea how to evaluated a concept, and even before that, what I should evaluate. Even once my subject was picked the troubles didn’t cease. There then came the question of ‘how am I going to do this’, and ‘what am I going to show’. The writing in itself was not an easy thing, but incorporate putting this online, well that just escalates the problems. The main issues I found were one- I didn’t know how to put online, and two- my evaluation was sub-par and leaned more towards a documentary of physics in life.

            In the end however I felt that the website that I developed was well crafted and a strong piece of engineering, and my evaluation was mediocre. There needed to be a more personal feel to my writing than there was. It was to general and didn’t include all that I felt was necessary. That and the fact that the ideas I had in my head were not flowing onto the page like normal, I assume it was because I had them broken up into different sections and documents.

            To improve this, is a matter of incorporating a more biased opinion. Make the situation out to be good or bad, and leaving no room for neutrality. After that I would need to add more research not only into the actual project, but as a background for building a strong evaluation.

            To apply this outside university is a matter of when. If using in a career it depends on what field, some require an evaluation of multiple places and buildings to right reviews or provide insights, while others might use to provide a basis for events or future projects. If utilizing outside of a work environment and inside a personal setting the situations would mainly depict places that are liked and should be visited as well as places that are disliked and should be avoided.

            All in all, this project was a stretch for me. As we progress from formal writing to this more informal and impromptu subject matter the difficulty of the writing increases. There is no doubt in my mind that the next project will be even more difficult for me, for the sole reason that these projects have a lot of room for opinions to play a factor.
