Project Evaluation

My responses to the three prompts...

How would you approach another project of this type differently given what you’ve learned here? Although I think the problem I chose is very important, I think it may be too broad. In the future I would try to identify something smaller in scope and smaller in scale. One that comes to mind is working with transformations (translations, reflections, dilations, rotations). The best most textbooks can do is give a 'before' and 'after' picture, which leaves a lot of room for improvement.

What are the lessons learned that others might benefit from knowing about?
Like I mentioned above, I think it would be important to keep the problem smaller. Larger scale problems may be best approached by an entire department or several representatives for a district. Also, finding good research sites beforehand will save time and help find more relevant work on your topic.

In what ways will you endeavor to do the same project again, and what will you change or not do?
It is hard to say. I think each problem that comes up will be unique in some way. Likewise the solution will be different for each problem. I decided not to incorporate videos into this one, but I think that would be a key element for many solutions.
