What I Learned in IM 260

After completing the assignments and projects I did in this class, I'm glad I learned what I did and I will use the information from this class for use in the future. This class has honestly taught me so much information that I never thought about learning in my lifetime. I can now go and use the resources for my future job (teaching) and it will help me keep myself organized. Although I already knew some of the things we talked about in class, most of the information I learned was also very new to me and I had no idea that some of it even existed until now. I'm happy with the experiences I got from this class and I will use all the resources in my near future!

Finished Blog Project

Now that my blog is done for the semester, I'm happy with the turnout of it. I believe that blogging is a great way to show your progress and ideas on things. It gives people a chance to read on what you think of topics and how you get through certain things in life. I've also learned that there are various types of blogs and they don't have to just be used for certain purposes. There's blogs out there that are honestly the most random things, but they make sense once they're all put together. I'm glad I had the opportunity to create one because it not only showed my progress throughout the semester, but also allowed me to keep myself organized on assignments and projects of my own.

Finished Research Paper Project

Now that my research paper is completed and turned in, I am very stressed and overwhelmed about the whole thing. There is way more information involved in a research paper than I thought there was. It truly is a lot of work and needs to include a lot of information in order to be complete. After completing my paper, with everything included, I was very relieved to be done. I'm glad I went through this experience because it will for sure be used in my future life no matter what it's for. I'm glad I went through the learning experience and hours of work it took because it will be valuable for me in some way!

Research Paper Project

I have never written a full research paper in APA format before so I'm honestly not sure what to expect out of the whole thing. I'm ready to take on what it includes and write one just so I can see what it's like and use the information I learn for future use. I know there are a lot of papers for college so it will be valuable for me to go through the whole process. I honestly don't even know where you start when writing a research paper but that will be learned through class and asking questions. It will be useful not only through college, but throughout my whole life.

Finished Infographic Assignment

Now that my infographic assignment is complete, I can visually see the results I got from my survey that was created. It gives a whole different perspective once you add pictures to the results. I am a visual learner myself, so creating an infographic really helped me see everything with all the results I got back. I'm glad I created one so that other people can visually see my results as well. I will definitely use an infographic again sometime in my life for other results that I may get and need to see visually.

Infographic Assignment

When it comes to creating an infographic, I had no idea what it was before and I have never created one for anything in my lifetime. From what I've learned in class, I think it's definitely a good way to show results. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to set mine up yet but I'm ready to take on the experience and explore websites that can be used to create an infographic. I'm planning on using all of my results that I got from my survey just so that people can have a full idea on my research and what it's going to consist of.

Finished Survey/Cover Letter Project

After completing this project, I've learned that creating your own survey helps a lot with your own research. Once I saw the results of my survey, I was shocked on the various answers I got from several different people. The answers I got greatly helped me improve my research paper I was writing and they helped me get further into the research as well. I think the cover letter I created warmly invited people to take my survey and give their own thoughts on the whole topic. I'm very happy that I got the answers I did and I will definitely use the process of a survey again if need be.
