Encyclopedia Project
1) What have you learned about mathematics through the encyclopedia project?
Through the encyclopedia project I have learned about how many different ways math skills can be applied in every day life. For example I did a part of my project on how exponential functions can be used in computer science. I also have learned a lot through reading what other people have done there projects on. I really liked how this project was structured in a way so no one was studying the same thing.
2)What have you learned about yourself as a student through this project?
I learned that I tend to slack off a lot and I have a hard time catching up when I miss a lot of school. I missed a full week during this project and I think it really hurt my motivation and will hurt the grade I receive. I really need to work on powering through projects even when I really don't want to.
3)What do you need to do for exhibition preparation to be able to show your audience what you did and learned?
I will have to find a creative way to show everyone about this project, maybe a poster or a presentation. I will also need to edit my project a little bit more before I will feel comfortable displaying this peace of work to the world.

After Exhibition Reflection
What would you do differently if you were exhibiting your project again?
I would try a little harder to grad people attention, not very many people talked to me but there where several people in the room. I would also try and make my poster a little more appealing to the eye so more people would come to me. Also if the exhibition was held somewhere other than the school I think it would have been more appealing to the public.
What do you see as your greatest strengths and weaknesses moving forward into future math classes?
MY greatest strength will probably be doing my homework well and always turning it in on time. My biggest weakness would definitely have to be working diligently on long term projects, with these typesd of assignments I often tend to procrastinate, a lot.

Semester Exam Project
1) I liked the idea of creating our own final exam. It was a good way to study and review all of the concepts we have covered this year. However, I thought the project was drawn out for a long time and could have been completed on a more concise timeline.
2) I am going to study for the exam by doing the Semester Exam review. I will circle all problems that I had a harder time with, go back in the textbook to the section where the topic is covered, and I will do more review problems from there. I will also consult with fellow classmates and ask what they have been doing to study for the exam. If I like their ideas I will try different methods of studying as well.
3) The semester went well overall. I was very good at understanding the concepts, but I lacked motivation on a lot of the homework assignments which is why my grade is not better. I could get a better grade next year and better understanding of concepts by investing myself a little more. I would like to engage more in challenge options and try harder on everything in this class.
