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 I learned during this project was how to use MS Excel to rerecord data. I believe I will carry and remember this for the rest of my life because if I have to do another project like this in college I will know what to do.

2.      What was the most challenging part of this project for you? What was the most successful? The most challenging part was to come up with good questions. The most successful was creating the Ms Excel chart because it was easier than I thought


3.      What are two things you did during this project to help your classmates? During this project I helped my classmates on how to make the graph active on the Ms Excel chart and how to take off the percentage sign for the numbers.

4.      What is something that was hard for you at the start of the project, but is easy now? _One thing that was hard for me during this project was how to put the charts in active mode so the chart will show the recorded data on it. But once I figured it out it was easy.  

5.      In what area do you feel you made your biggest improvements? __I feel like I made my biggest improvement in listening and following instructions because at times for other projects it’s hard and confusing. 

6.      What in our class has made the biggest impact on your learning during this project? Why? 
The thing that had the biggest impact on my learning in this project was the Do Now and the activity. Copying these two things helped because it told me what I had to get done during the class time and how to go about it.
7.      What is something the teacher could have done to make this project better? One thing the teacher could have done differently to make the project better is probably let us take more than 15 surveys.

8.     If you could turn back time and do this project again, what would you do differently? One thing I would do differently is probably chosen more interesting questions because I probably would have gotten back better feedback.
