I'm so over this year I dont think it's possible to be any more over this year then I am right now. But, to answer the prompt: I really thought that this project was more applicable to the real world than any other project we have done in school. In school, we are mainly given tasks that have nothing to do with the real world and we may never use again. But with this project, we are given a very business-like deadline and were free to work as we pleased. Some things that went well were we met almost all of our deadlines. We also were given a good group dynamic. We had two people who worked very well with the technology and kept us on track with our blogposts, as well as Ekolu and I, who worked very well hands on. Some things that didn't go as planned were as followed: we didn't follow our plans, we didn't take into account the door that our bench would be blocking once implemented. Also, we didn't really follow our original design for the bench. We were supposed to pour quikrete into our cinder blocks. From this I learned that planning is one key aspect that it is essential that it is followed or else projects seem to go downhill. I learned that if given a group, you should play to each other's strengths and establish a plan and due dates to keep you on task. This project was pretty well done so i'm not so sure that i would do anything differently. For the most part, I guess our construction was somewhat science. Obviously it dealt with science because everything in the world has to do with science, but it was not at the forefront of our brains and thinking during the project.
