To guide your first project reflection, I have created five categories for questions below. Please compose answers to these questions in a document that you can upload to Canvas. Your goal is to engage thoroughly in the task of assessing your project; you may structure this in whatever way works best for you. My goal is to share video feedback on your first assignment by the end of the day Friday (9/13). I recommend you start on this reflection before you’ve watched that video. This reflection is your chance to evaluate yourself, so thinking about this on your own before getting my feedback can help establish that this is your reflection about your work.
Process
I asked you to prepare for this assignment through the following homework and in-class activities. How many of these activities did you do and how did they help you think through your work? Did you do anything outside of this assigned work to help your project come together? To answer this question with specifics, please read through your doc and our doc and select examples of specific things you did. If there are activities you didn’t do, please explain what interfered with you completing the work and/or anything you did on your own to make progress on the assignment. Your goal here is to assess your process with this assignment so you can establish specific goals for future work.

Revision
How did you get feedback on your rough draft for this project? Did you ask for direct feedback from Dr. Isbell or anyone else? Did you get feedback in person, via zoom, or through text comments? Kaizena was not working; did that stop you from reaching out again to get feedback? What kind of feedback do you ideally want to seek for your next project?
Quality
How would you assess the quality of the bio you produced? How effectively does this bio establish your credibility on the subjects you’ll be writing about? Does it provide the amount of privacy you desire? How well does the image you’ve selected work with the text? What impact will the bio have on your ideal audience? Are there things you wish were different that you’re not sure how to change?
Grade
Given your assessment of the work you put into this project and the quality of the bio you produced, what grade do you give yourself on this project?
Plan
What is your plan for success on our next project? Are there things you want to make sure to continue doing? Are there new things you’d like to try?
