First-Week Introduction:
This semester, my main goals are not only going out to Cahokia Heights to collect further data about whether the businesses there exsist or not, but that data will also be incorporated into our website. I hope with the 5 goals that I’ve choosen, I’ll be able to achieve these goals. I am a desk manager, so I basically have time already set aside where I am ableto to focus on my work.
Midterm Introduction:
At this point in the semester, I now atleast have an idea of what other data I need to collect to incorporate into our website/emplace. To further expand our research my group and I will be expanding our website into Emplace. We will be expanding our website/resarch through a scrollytell that will be put on the Emplace website for not only our community partners but the rest of the world to see. I am mostly caught up in this class, I do tend to have a few hiccups when it comes to our reflection due dates due to constant overlapping due dates for other classes. This semester I am doing a lot better mentally and emotionally when it comes to my work load.
Final Introduction:
At this point in the semester, the project has been completed and sent to our community partners. While constructing the project, I definitely was a little confused with the difference between the dissemination plan and the emplace contribution; but as the semester persisted I was able to finally grasp the difference.
But overall I am happy that we are finished with this project even though it wasnt stressful or hard, just being topped on with Anatomy ll was kind of a lot. This semester actually wasn’t stressful like I thought it would be. I actually was in the perfect mid nd space this semester since I changed the way that I think about certain classes and feeling behind in certain classes.
