Primary Research Project

This project helped me understand the importance of research and choosing the right topic. At the beginning of this essay, I thought that the topic and the questions I had in my survey would provide me with enough information so that I could get at least one thousand words on my paper with the research. I was very wrong because the topic I chose related to a lot more things than I had originally thought about. So when I wrote my questions, I only had about four things I had asked when I started doing research on technology at ODU outside of the information I realized there were many questions I could have asked that related to the topic and would have helped me in my research. I liked the freedom of being able to choose your own topic instead of having to do a specific one. In the future, I will ask more detailed questions before starting my research survey.

Scholarly Research Project

It was hard for me to originally find info to match my original topic so I ended up having to broaden the horizons of what I was making my project on. Once I was able to figure out what I wanted to write, finding different places for information wasn’t hard at all with the help of Professor Bauers. I will say I wish I had chosen an easier topic to write on. In future papers, I will 100% find better ways to figure out what to write. This project helped me tone my grammar and work better with APA format. I also got better with APA citations. I feel the tone of my essay could have been much more interesting than informative which with the use of more exciting grammar I could end up fixing. I had a lot of life events going on during the time I started and eventually finished this essay but if I had been more attentive it could have gotten done much quicker. 

Genre Remix Project

This project helped me increase my creativity and highlight how to change the genre of my old project and turn it into something completely different.
