My favorite project this semester was our first narrative. I liked it the best because I felt like we did the most preparation for it and I had a good understanding of what was expected. I also liked it because it gave my the opportunity to talk about something I felt like talking about. I've come to realize that the more interest I have in the assignment/topic the better I do. I also feel like this assignment helped me learn to be more descriptive. That was something I could say I struggled with before.
My least favorite project has been the Historical Narrative. I think this is because I have a hard time thinking out side of the box and I can't really put together a story from someone else's point of view. If anything it has taught me I will probably never write and stories (made up ones).
Through out the semester I have learned the different types of formatting. I also learned that google docs is a great tool. I never knew it existed before. I learned if I didn't already know before that I have little creativity. Showing up to class makes a big difference in how I preform. Also a big one for me is that some credit is better than no credit. I used to stress myself out over doing "perfect work" and would get discouraged and not complete assignments because of this.
Something I wish I could have learned is how to write professional papers and letters. I feel like these things would have been more helpful to my future than knowing how to write a historical narrative or I-search paper. I still don't understand how those are relevant other than the fact that it gives more writing experience.
