Description
This project reflection will be on a research paper I created for my asynchronous college course Environment and Ecology. We were tasked with writing a min 1000 word research report on an endemic species of our choosing. I chose to write my report about the beautiful Ohia Lehua tree because my senior project also relates to the Ohia Lehua,
Reflection
I feel that this project represents my self directional skills because the guidance for this research paper was very open ended and I had to figure out how to compile my research so it was comprehensively and cohesively. I felt very on my own for this project, but that feeling helped me to develop my 21st century skill of self direction. Before this project I was not so proficient in finding information from a credible source and using it correctly within my work.
From this assignment I am most proud that I received a grade of 30/30. I feel that I earned that grade because of the effort that I put into creating this paper.
The most difficult thing about writing this report was structuring my paragraphs. I usually have a hard time figure out how to organize my writing, however it was amplified when I was writing a scientific report. Luckily, I used the help of peer reviewers to guide me in the right direction.
I feel that if I could improve this essay I would go more in depth on the different varieties of Ohia tree there are. Because each variety is so different, I feel that covering all of them would give the reader a more thorough grasp of the subject.
This project related to what I have learned in the past because in previous years some of my classes have talked about endemic species conservation, specifically the Ohia tree. I have also heard lots of information about ROD which helped me write my paper.
This project relates to what I will learn in the future because all of my research from this project can be applied to my senior project which deals with Ohia trees. In my senior project we are required to write an argumentative essay in which I will use information gathered for my endemic species report to complete.
