I learned a lot during this unit in Explorations about how overconsumption affects global warming and climate change. I enjoyed that I could choose a certain topic that I want to investigate and learn more about. I was glad that I chose to do a poster instead of an animation for my outcome because doing an animation takes a lot of time and the quality won't be very good. I got my message across better using a poster medium. I also really enjoyed the skills that we learned through this unit. We learned how to scan and skim an article which is a really good skill to learn because it will help us in the future for many different subjects. I definitely developed my sourcing skills through this unit because I discovered a new way to cite information. The "research" tool in google document helped me a lot and it is very useful for any piece of written work that needs to be referenced. I used footnotes this time to reference instead of the APA comma format.
If I had to do this project again, I would have used more of the time in class to do my research so that I would have more time putting the poster together. I should have found more statistics to back up my ideas because I didn't have enough time to generate solutions and develop them to the fullest.
Considering that I spread my workload well throughout this project I feel like I handled this project quite well. My plan of action was well thought through because I had goals like a "to do list" for every explorations class in order to work towards a certain point of my research. That really kept me on track and helped me become more productive. Overall, I think that I can take away a lot of skills and information through this unit that I can use in the future.
