Although some students believe that this map project was more difficult than the first one, I strongly disagree. I felt more confident with this project because I knew more of what was expected of me than the last one. I think I did a good job at deciding what to focus my project on. I also think I did a good job at describing the main points in my argument. Asking questions sooner than later was very beneficial for me to gain a better understanding of this project, unlike the last project where I waited until the last minute to ask questions. That was probably my best improvement with this assignment because it really helped me know what I was doing.
One of my biggest struggles was separating pieces of information and deciding where to put it. I had a bit of confusion with separating my thoughts from my four annotations and the synopsis. Last minute I also decided to change my project from the Student Recreation Complex to the North Campus, which was also a struggle because of the lack of time. I had already checked out books pertaining to the SRC and I had to go back and restart my project by gathering new information and choosing a whole new topic.
My evaluation of North Campus and the resources it provides to residents was good, in my opinion. I did a lot better than I thought I would and I did try to ultimately answer the “so what” question at the end of my conclusion in order to find out why my argument would matter to people. I am hoping that I did a good job with that aspect but I did try my best to answer it. My project included detailed resources found all over the North Campus which really helped my project out in trying to send my message across, which explained that living on campus is very beneficial to students because of its resources. Although I do think my evaluation was strong, I still believe there is always room for improvement. If I had to improve my project in anyway I would have established my topic from the start so that, in my case, I could have spent more time evaluating the resources and criteria for my paper instead of switching topics.
Making a map will probably never be on my agenda outside from schoolwork at the university however I think much of this work can be applied to the outside world. Regardless of the topic or project, it is always a challenge in some way or another and always offers something new. This project has helped me as a writer and helped me with brainstorming ideas, coming up with topics to write about and pushing myself with my writing techniques and all of those qualities will help me in various tasks outside from the university.
