I thought project two was a lot easier than project one.
Last time I had a really hard time looking through a lens in order to evaluate and
analyze my place, where as in this project it was only required to evaluate a
certain place and its aspects using the evidence and support of a few sources
relating to our place on campus that we chose.
I feel that I did the best in the annotation portion of the
project. It was required that we choose 4 parts of our place relating to our
topic and I found it very easy to find those four aspects I was going to
evaluate. For my project I chose the SRC or student recreation center and then
focused mainly on the Elliptical machines, the snack bar, the pool and the
intramural fields outside. My proposed topic was the importance of staying fit
and exercising while staying healthy, so I found that describing these four
regions of the SRC gave me enough evidence to illustrate the importance of the
student recreation center to not only the students of ASU but also the
community as a whole.
The part I struggled most with was the map portion of the
project and getting it all put together. I thought that it would definitely be
the easiest but I ended up pending most of my time trying to figure out how to
make the map, edit it and then embed it to my blog post. However, once I got
the process down, it was much easier to fix for my final draft!
This project showed me the importance of evidence in
evaluations. Although ones opinion can be important, it doesn’t necessarily
mean much unless it’s of worth and credible. I learned that finding credible
sources isn’t as easy as it seems either, in order to find the exact type of
evidence that you want, you have to make sure that you do enough research to
find these sources in order to make sure that their perspective of the proposed
topic you choose match yours, or else the sources aren’t worth much proof.
I feel that I crafted a pretty good evaluation at least on
my behalf, I sort of struggled getting started in the beginning only because I wasn’t
exactly sure what was required in order to make the evaluation good enough with
enough support and evidence. In the future, I plan on taking a little more time
in order to make sure that I have a well thought argument to help make my evaluation
stronger. Also getting a little more feedback would help I think because I may
not be able to see my mistakes and another review could lead me on the right
track!
I think that learning to write a well written evaluation
will help with other essays that I may have to write in the future just because
evaluations are important for arguments and proving ones opinion with support
of credible sources, and I am sure that I will have to write more of these
types of essays in the future.
