Introduction
This spring semester felt as if it went by in a blink of an eye! This semester feels a lot easier than last semester because last semester, I was struggling to figure out how all these topics and assignments tie to each other. This semester felt pretty easy since all the assignments had clear and set instructions. We had to do a lot of data analysis and cleaning of data. Having Dr. Smith as our CODES teacher this semester has been simple since she is a very helpful, especially with technology, and a straightforward person. I’m excited to continue working with my fellow classmates in CODES!

(These pictures shows that I synthesized this transcript into making a good reflective paper.)
