I decided to choose my Cancer Project because I thought it was a good example to show some of my strengths and weaknesses. In this project, I found myself doing a lot of research on the topic in a way that kind of distracted me at the same time. Instead of focusing on the criteria given, I spent extra time on areas that I didn’t even need and found myself having to delete paragraphs because I didn’t have enough room to explain all the information that I wanted to present. I gathered my information from all sorts of places, I found some websites that contained lots of information and the coolest part was finding these really cool apps in the app store that contained loads of information that was very well organized into sections and visually easy to understand too. I don’t think I would have even thought of trying to find apps containing information on cancer. I think I did strongly in researching my specific topic and cancer in general but I think I should have payed closer attention to how I organized and prioritized the way I was presenting it all.

I think that I need to improve in prioritizing my time between different subjects just because when ever I get caught up between 2 projects or assignments, I’ll tend to spend less of my time on science because I always feel like the other project is more significant and because it is worth more in grades and I’ve realized over the first half year that even if science labs or work sheets aren’t worth as much as a big humanities assignment… it really starts to build up, and fast too. I guess it all goes back to time managment that creates problems like this in the first place!! My main goal for this class though is to try to remember most of the stuff I learn because so much of it is so cool and facinating but in the end, I’m so focused on getting the homework and assignments done and passing quiz’s that I forget almost everything.
