Integrated Project Reflection

One of the successful key in the integration project approach now a day is that the integrated project based on cutting edge technology. So it is vital to specify the technologies at the project initiation to maximize functionality, generality and interoperability. The IPD approach is coordination and collaboration process, for that it is essential to support it with open and interoperable data exchanges based on disciplined and transparent data structures where the technology is appears. This type of practice is called open standards which enable communications among all participants, so the technology used should comply with the open standards whenever available.

In this writing project I learned to write a story with a purpose and show my readers a learning movement. By using different kinds of writing tools I could give my readers a more complex story. I learned how to write by showing and using details (the senses) to really give my readers a deeper understanding and emotions. I also learned in how you prepare for writing an essay. The importance of building your idea (pre-write), write, revision, and finally editing the paper.

I hate reading and writing I never show interesting and I thought it was boring and just slept the whole period. But taking English 096 in my first semester at Harold Washington has impacted my writing skills in a positive way. This class helped me to learn more the skills I needed to become a better writer I college and for my future. Professor Thomas helped me with my writing and showed me that I do not have to be a perfect writer to get my point across. Like every writer we have are weaknesses and are strongest strategies. One of my weak is brainstorming ideas for my topic or how to compare two stories. But the class thought me how to comprehend the stories and try to make things they have in common. English 096 have also helped me to communicate more with my peers. My peers will help me revise my writing and make common so I can fix them and just make my final draft. I changed how I write because when the semester I was as good as a writer because I thought it was boring. But time passed I started to feel interesting and with the help of the professor I started to write better. The professor was determined to make us better writer. He would do every morning warm up and it seems small but it had an impact of how I write. Because I learned little things I never heard about.

English class has never been my strong suite. I always had to work twice as hard in English then I did in any other class. Writing paper always had me stressed and overwhelmed, I felt discouraged in my work. l never seemed to be able to get to the level I wanted to. I would try my hardest and paid attention in class, but when it came to writing the paper none of that seemed to help. I think that my experience in English Composition 1 has helped gain and grow in some areas, but I don’t think that it highlights a well-written college essay. Some elements that I worked to improving was introduction paragraphs, tone, style, and thesis statements.

While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.

I had to watch tutorials and read a book about gardening to formalize myself. Reading a book about gardening was an interesting switch of genres compared to what is usually read for assignments. Also, I though the main part of the project was to grow radishes, there was still a lot of English mixed in. With every step in gardening, we had to journal and describe the experience. Journaling every single day about a seed you could not even see yet was difficult. Making the habit of writing at least a paragraph everyday did help me improve in my writing. In my previous English classes, I would only have to write for big papers or essay responses on tests. As for this the change seemed more beneficial cause I was using my skills every through the two months of the project. By having to write about something different my vocabulary did expand. Though the project was an assignment everyday it helped me stay interested in it. Having to water my radishes and write about them was kind of fun. Also, along the journey of growing them you had to take pictures of your progress. So, I could go back and watch the transformation before my eyes. With the gardening aspect of the assignment, it brought it to live and actually represented something. Overall, all of my hard work and staying on top of my assignment finally paid

Project 1 and 2 assisted me with intermeshing writing as a process that included planning, revision, and editing based on feedback from instructors and peers, which is the first goal. Although I perceived Project 1 as a success, my peers revealed otherwise. During peer review, Daniel thumbed through my essay and recommended that I provide details for my history with writing and to fuse examples with my claims. Ryan

Moreover, I consider homework assignments and activities in this course to be helpful. They have enhanced my writing skills, as I know how to write a story, a scenario, and how to support my argument. Frankly speaking, English writing must be my weakest point. However, due to our professor, all instructions were given in a precise manner and I could understand all tasks.

One of my weaknesses in my writing is that I tend to have a “one track mind”. Once I have an idea about how to word something or organize an essay, I tend to only see it from that perspective, even if it’s not the most optimal way to convey my arguments. This class helped me think outside of the box and learn to organize things like I would not normally do, this included how I would analyze texts or synthesize ideas. The in-class activities helped me learn to be creative, the class readings gave me examples on how to organize that creativity and the instructor conferences helped me further organize my thoughts and organization.

As a manager my profession requires me to take the time to reflect on my work, reflect on its objective and evaluate its result.

During my sophomore year of high school I was required to complete a MYP project that challenged us to step outside of the box and do something creative. For my project, I focused on stage presence and overcoming fears. One of my major fears growing up was singing in front of others. During the process of completing this project I had to create a youtube channel, post a video of me singing, and share it on all social media including the school website. I got a lot of positive feedback from my peers, family members on Facebook, and even people who I have never met before. It helped me to grow confidence and instead of thinking about it I just need to do it. Ever since this project I have had the confidence to even reach out to producers which

From taking this course I have been able to improve many of my weaknesses, but there are still some that I need to work on. Overall I am becoming better at not procrastinating as much as I used to. This class has helped me to learn to take the little steps along the way because then there will not be as much work to do towards the end. This has also made me realize that the final product of my writing will turn out better because it will have had more time to develop, which means that there would have been more opportunities to proofread. I think by learning many styles of writing, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, analyzing, and researching; it has enabled me to be able to write more broadly. By knowing how to correctly use all of these kinds of writing styles, it will help me in the future for other classes because I will have the knowledge that I need to write these types of papers. I still procrastinate sometimes, but not as much as I used to. I will be able to improve on this as time goes along because I will become more motivated by seeing the end result, which usually would be better grades.

Over the course of the semester, there has been numerous amount of areas where I believe I have improved in comparison to high school. What has helped me in my writing is the writing class and the in-class writing workshop. The writing class that is located in the Kremen education building has helped me with my writing greatly because in the writing center the person in charge teach us lenses and we apply those lenses to the writing, draft, or reading that someone brings in. The in-class writing workshop has helped me because other students get to read my writing. This is helpful because I get feedback from many students and they let me know what needs to be fixed. A new tool I have been using is They Say I Say. The book is very helpful because of the information and examples it provides such as the templates. I have been applying the templates into my essays and I have seen a significant difference.

Unlike the pretest where I had many days to administer my pre assessment, I only had one day to try to get in twenty-six post assessments. My Impact project ran the three weeks leading up to fall break and I wanted the students to be able to get through the design and building process of their structure before I began administering the post assessment. In a perfect world, I would have waited until the fourth week to administer it when the structures would have been completed and we could have evaluated them for effectiveness. However, with fall break and a deadline for my Impact project, I had to administer it the Thursday before fall break. I was only able to get twenty-two of the twenty six students for the post test, and my data had to be

Prior to this course, I thought that in order to manage a project you need to be a project manager. However, this course changed my perspective on project management. As I continue to read the book, I realized that I actually manage many projects, and project management is not only limited to organizations. Throughout our lives, we manage many projects from planning a wedding to building a house, some of those projects may take few days and some may take years to complete. In addition, I also learned that there are no two projects that are alike, each project has it’s own unique elements that set it apart from other projects.
