This project has been such a good experience for me as a person and as a student. Sometimes this project brought a lot of stress but for the most part it has taught me a lot. My overall thoughts on this project is that it is a positive thing that students should go through. We were able to make strides toward making change. Although they were small steps to change, it was making the effort that really counted. It helped us to realize that there are problems bigger then ourselves and that we have to be the ones to initiate change in order to make it happen. An overall positive effect!
One thing that went well was that towards the end of our project we became more focused and worked more collaboratively as a group. Our contributions in the ending portion of our project really showed off the strengths we have as a group.
The most significant part of our project that didn't go as planned was the planning. As a group we had a hard time keeping track of our deadlines and completing things on time. Most of the time we would complete the task but it was already late. However, we were able to turn in our final paper on time :D
Some of the things I learned was that in a group project you actually have to work as a group! I learned that if you work to each others strengths you can accomplish more. Also another thing that I learned was that staying on track and the importance of planning can contribute to how successful you will be.
I feel that this activity was really effective! I don't think that there is any problems with the project. Every aspect that each group had to do was thoroughly planned out and instruction given to students were clear.
This project exemplified a different kind of science. It was a different approach, therefore, I didn't feel like we were doing science but I knew we were. I liked it this way much more than sitting in a classroom and just learning from a textbook!
