Reflection on Project 1

During the process of writing my Quick Reference Guide, I ran into many issues along the way. Namely, there was not a whole lot of diverse information out there to allow for a more diverse QRG. However, because of this I was able t explore various sources and easily find how credible the information was and how direct it came from the source of the information. The most effective strategy I found was using direct information/quotes from the Toshiba CEO and from the articles they were written in.
I have not had the chance to write this type of piece in the past. It is very informal compared to what I have thad to write in the past. This style f writing, although new, is much more preferable. There were no similarities to what I had used to write previously. I am not clear yet if the skills I picked up along the way of writing this would be helpful in any other course I am currently in.

Reflection:

As I went and read other reflections such as Hallye's, I was happy to see that I wasnt alone on certain aspects. Inclluding how this style of writing is completely new to me. It was very difficult to write in this new style but we all went through it together and came out successful. It is from here that hopefully topics like this will become easier.

  1. Oops, I think I wrote a bit more than I was supposed to on my reflection! It's reassuring to see that we ran into similar problems but also found similar solutions. I quoted quite a bit in my QRG. I feel like we both took this as a positive writing experience and feel like the skills we earned through this project are beneficial.

  2. Seem to me like we had similar struggles and reliefs. Finding a new writing style is always great because it is another tool we can use but the struggle to find out how to write in it is what isn't so fun. I also struggled with my topic at first but after finding it, it started to flow and it became easier and easier to make a successful QRG.

  3. We had similar experiences writing for this project, I think. It was difficult to find sources for my project as well, and this forced me to dive deeper into my subject and become more familiar with the sources that I did find. I wrote a little too much in my post, but the same gist is there. Writing in this style was a completely new experience for me as well.

  4. It seems like this assignment would be tough if you had a smaller more specific topic. I can't say I had the same problem considering artificial intelligence is a very complex topic. I also have had no previous experience with writing in this genre, but I enjoyed it very much. Researching and gaining an understanding of a topic was fun, but I enjoyed writing the informal QRG more.
