Project 3 was by far the most interesting project this
year, in my opinion. I feel as though
recording it rather than writing it was pretty exciting (even though we had to
write a little bit for the script). I
think I did well with my topic choice. I
really like the topic I chose for the project.
I think it turned out pretty decent; however, I struggled with the
recording part. I am probably, by far,
the most technologically retarded person in the world. I ended up having to get the boys that live
on the first floor of my dorm help me with recording it and posting it to
blackboard. The software was glitching
when I was trying to record my project, so it took a few times to get it all
set and done. That part was a little bit
stressful. Also, when I was trying to
record it, my phone kept going off and making noises during the presentation,
which was frustrating. The guys in my
dorm were being super loud in the background, too, so that was frustrating as
well. It was hard to find a totally and
completely quiet environment to record in.
Throughout this project, I learned that not procrastinating pays off
(hopefully). I didn’t procrastinate as
much as I had with the previous projects, so hopefully everything will turn out
the way I thought it would. It was much
easier to write the script without feeling super rushed, whereas with the
previous projects I honestly would do them the night before. I am not so sure about how I will alter my
writing process, but I will alter my recording process by trying to learn more
about the recording software and educating myself with it instead of having
other people help me. I feel as though I
did craft a strong argument and that it was a good topic choice. Personally, I think my script had enough
details in it to let people decide whether they would agree with my argument or
disagree, while I also provided my input that I would agree with my
argument. In all honesty, I am not
necessarily entirely sure how I will apply my work to the world outside the
university with this project. I just
chose a topic and did the project. It is
a topic that applies directly to the university and students attending
universities, so I am not sure how I will apply that to the outside world. Overall, project three was a learning
experience to me. Writing in script was
totally new because I have only done script writing once before in my life, and
that was because I took creative writing in high school. Other than that, I have never written a
script, and I have never recorded a script, so that was all new and
exciting. Project three was my favorite
project out of all the projects this year.
It was a good learning experience and a great way to do a project.
