Introduction
This semester has felt like an incredible roller coaster ride for me, marking my most collaborative experience yet. It pushed me to enhance my communication skills, master time management, and adapt to the circumstances I encountered. As we move closer to implementing and developing our exhibit in the spring, I feel both excited and a bit nervous about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Goal 1 (25%)
(12. A, B, & C) : Demonstrates clear organizational patterns and skillfully presents content cohesively, using compelling and appropriate delivery techniques. Develops clear, innovative central messages supported by significant and relevant materials.
In our contant assignment I created the organization for the slides to create a clear idea of what we would want our qr codes/signage to look like for our exhibit. We used the data from the archives to make our information as accurate as possible.
Goal 2 (25%)
(5. B & C) : Employs effective, well-designed search strategies to access information from appropriate sources, responsibly integrating research while demonstrating a full understanding of the ethical and legal restrictions on information use.
In my team's Data Collection Plan and annotated bibliography we collected data provided from MOBOT. We planned on using a lot of the documents from the archives and also some secondary resources to be able to tell a full picture story of the enslaved at the garden.
Goal 3 (25%)
(9. B): Identifies and evaluates multiple approaches for solving problems.

During one of our visits we talked to Jennifer from interpretation team. She helped our team get a different perspective, figure out our exact goals, and what issues can happen when developing an exhibit.
My reflection after visiting MOBOT
As a group to solve the problems of not being able to have a physical exhibit we decided to mainly focus on the qr codes that give access to a website. This makes our information avaiblable worldwide. We also wanted to make sure we set achievable goals that make sense with the resources we have and time constraints.
Goal 4 (25%)
(12. A, B, & C): Advances collaboration by articulating the merits of alternative ideas, facilitating contributors’ engagement by building upon their input, and encouraging participation from those less involved. Consistently works independently toward shared goals by contributing effectively and meeting deadlines.
During the semster I took the roll of leadeing my team. I made sure members made deadlines, openly communicated with MOBOT staff for resources, and presented our final product. Even with a lack of team members on presentation day, Aydien and I managed to present our goals in a very articulate way.
