What have you learned about the way you learn, work, and/or collaborate?
I feel that i can get a lot of work done by myself but when it comes to writing a paper i feel that i am much better with a group of friends who i can get feedback from while i am writing. Working alone has its benefits such as being able to focus more, being able to think clearly, and not having to worry about someone screaming or making loud noises. Working with in a group also has its benefits such as being able to get critiques at any time you want and being able to help give ideas if you are stuck.

Describe one valuable mistake you made this year.
I think that one valuable mistake that i have made this year was during the media saves the beach website. When i was helping to make the website we had pretty much waited until the last minute to really get anything done and because of that the website suffered. I know that if we had just put in the effort then there would have been a whole new website there.

What is your greatest strength as a student in a project-based learning environment?
I think that my greatest strength would be that i am very good with working with different people because i am better at that then working myself.
