Create a Survey and Graph like a Pro (Project Reflection)

For this project you were asked to design survey questions (5) to get an answer to questions about various topics: sport, pets, celebrities, family, etc…  After collecting your survey data we turned the information into an MS excel table and then into a graph that demonstrates good, objective graphing techniques. Please answer the following reflection questions about the process you went through during this project.

1.      What is something we did during this project that you think you will remember for the rest of your life?

Something that we did during this project that I will remember for the rest of my life is basically everything we did throughout this project. Eventually at some point later on in my life I will have to take a survey or invent another survey. I will have to use Microsoft Excel to make graphs again. So yes, I will remember this project for the rest of my life.

2.      What was the most challenging part of this project for you? What was the most successful?

The most challenging part of this project was waiting for the class to respond to my survey which took like three to four days for them all to respond. The most successful part of this project was making the tables into graphs because that was the easiest part of this whole project.

3.      What are two things you did during this project to help your classmates?

One thing I did during this project to help my classmate was tell her what to do because she was lost and did not know what to do after that. Another thing I did to help my classmate was demonstrate to her twice how to do what she had to do because again she did not know how to do it.

4.      What is something that was hard for you at the start of the project, but is easy now? Something that was hard at the beginning of this project was come up with random questions for my survey. Nobody can just come up with random funny questions so I felt the need to look at other surveys that helped me come up with my own questions.

5.       In what area do you feel you made your biggest improvements?

The area that I feel I have made my biggest improvements is where I use MS Excel. I say this because I only used MS Excel one time before so I was not really sure I was going to be able to use it as good as I did in this project.

6.      What in our class has made the biggest impact on your learning during this project? Why?

 The biggest impact that has happened in this class that has impacted my learning during this project is the constant interruption of my class mates asking silly questions after the teacher has said it a million times.

7.       What is something the teacher could have done to make this project better?

Something that the teacher could have done better is nothing because she explained how to do everything step by step.

8.       If you could turn back time and do this project again, what would you do differently?

If I could turn back time, and do this project again, what I would do differently is do my stuff and email them on time. Instead of rushing and finishing my projects quickly with little time.
