Self Assessment
This project was not so much difficult as it was time consuming. I enjoyed learning about the escape from Alcatraz and believe that I made an informative and interesting website that is an effective educational tool. I have met all requirements, although I am still not quite sure whether the poster should have been created by me or if I could use pre-made references while citing them. Regardless, I’m not quite tech-savvy enough to figure out how to create a digital poster, so I hope that an explanation of what each poster shows will suffice.
Initially, the website’s format created quite a learning curve that deterred me from attempting an editing and only prolonged my procrastination of the project. I should have utilized class time more effectively, but I didn’t decide to focus on the Alcatraz escape until the Thanksgiving break.
All in all, I realized that as much as I may dread doing big project such as this, the best way to overcome them is to just sit down and try to do as much as possible over several days instead of waiting until the last minute. I only wish I’d learned this before a week before the end of semester.
