Equity Librium Project
Here's a link to our project description which has everything we did in it, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oh6U0mq4gUAVmQrx5jj51RmdIBmaxr7VIQeLBy5fbyg/edit?usp=sharing
At the beginning of the project I thought we could fly through all of the work and it’d be easy. I soon realized it wasn’t as easy as it sounded, this came when they explained all of the steps and work we were soon going to do. After this was clear I did not think that in this crunched timeline that we could get a praiseworthy product. This thought occurred to me when someone pointed out we were going camping dead in the middle of the project, a week less wouldn’t be bad but since we had it during the project I assumed it would throw everything off. By the end of the project we had what I think are great products and far exceeded my expectations.
When I first learned we were doing physics I was excited because I had never done much physics at all through the years. For a majority of the beginning of the project I was stuck and was barely getting through physics, but by the end I understood it and could help others. I’m not saying it’s easy because there’s a lot of steps to do and you can mess up on these steps. But I am saying I helped other people to where they could understand it and do it by themselves.
In spanish I was really ecstatic to learn a new language because I’m not bilingual. I honestly was thinking it would be hard because in the middle school I took one quarter of spanish and the way it was taught was confusing and hard. So far I’ve really liked it and want to continue growing in learning it. Currently it’s not terribly hard but I’m struggling with pronunciations.During this project we didn’t have to use to much spanish but the amount we did was manageable.
In humanities we did a lot of writing and I don't think I have the best writing skills. When writing in the past I wouldn’t read my writings out loud and they would have mistakes and errors. Early in this project Miss Carol taught us how important it is to read any writings out loud, once I started doing this I fixed so many of my mistakes. I also began to have more people read what I write, to have it further examined and fixed. The last thing I learned was how important it is to have well written artist statement so that everything is easy to figure out and follow what is being made.
This project I think I got a great group/team except for one person, for the most part we worked extremely well together getting all of our work done. The only problem we had was one group member not doing his work and not knowing what to do. We did decide well on who should do what based on our strengths and weaknesses. One other thing we did was everyone worked on the artist statement at the same time, correcting each other's mistakes and giving feedback to each other. I think I’m a great leader because throughout the project I helped all my group members and directed them on what to do.
My exhibition experience this time around was much different than others, like everyone said it wasn’t at school like usual. My past exhibitions were at school so people are already interested in what you’re saying and you don’t need that further explanation and you were required to persuade them to get in. One thing that I thought was pretty neat is how no matter what age you could get someone interested in your project, although some people out right said no. Lastly I loved the expression on people’s faces when we would explain that this is our first project and that we are freshman.
For this project I think I deserve an A. I think I should get this because I really feel that I helped everyone, not just in my group but in the class with things they were stuck on. One example is when we had to put our symbols in Adobe Illustrator people forgot how to do it so once I finished doing our symbols and reprinting them when the laser printer got messed up I helped other groups figure it out. I also think I was a great leader in this project because I directed my group members on the right thing to do and how to do things. I really think everyone can apply this project to everyday life.
