Reflections

Discussion (30 min)

We will have a group discussion about the project and the event. To help get us started – please write a question or topic that you want us to discuss. We will the pull a topic/question from a hat to respond to.

Blog post: Writing & Photo uploading (45 min)

We have one last blog post (per team) to upload to the class website. Some of the writing and photos are to be completed as a group, and some of the writing is to be completed individually. All writing (both group and individual) can be included in the single blog post.

Group Questions & Photos: Please write reflections and upload photos about the process of creating your project. Your story of the process can be incredibly informative to you for future projects and as you share about this project with others in the future. Please use the following prompts:

  • How did you generate the idea and starting point for the project?
  • What was the path that you took from beginning to end to accomplish the project? Please upload 5-10 photos to illustrate your story.
  • What were the challenges you encountered and how do your team overcome them?
  • What were the “happy accidents” that you encountered along the way?
  • Final Project: please upload 5-10 photos of your final project and 3 sentences that describe what your final project is (not what you intended, but what it is now that it is finished).

Individual Questions: Please write reflections as you see them from your point of view.

  • What aspects of your project or process were most successful?
  • What were a few of the challenges you encountered and how did you overcome them?
  • What are the three top things you learned from this experience that you will take with you into future project experiences?
  • What have you observed in yourself regarding your collaboration with teammates who bring different skills and experiences to the creative process?
  • What is your number one piece of advice you would give to future students in this course?
