Lessons Learned From Project

Completing my project this semester was one of the most humbling experiences of my college career. I honestly did not think it would be too difficult to go out and write for a themed project, especially since there were only 6 modules. What I realized as I got started was that it was not the assignment that made this class difficult, but it was indeed the struggle of managing my time to get my assignments completed.

I am fairly busy at all times. I work 5 days a week and am taking 15 credits this semester. In addition to this class, I am also taking Mass Communications research, making scheduling interviews especially difficult. I somehow managed to complete all of my interviews on time, although I confess that it was struggle.

I also learned that Dreamweaver and web projects are easier to manipulate than I thought. I was taught basic web editing skills through my internship last semester and Digital Publishing, but this class took that knowledge to a new level. I wish I had done more to my introduction page, but I am happy I at least knew how to start a page on my own, add pictures and change attributes. As I stated in a previous post, if I had more time, I would have loved to do more with this project.

The skills I learned from this project are innvaluable. I honestly hope that as I learn more about these programs, I can implement them into a possible career path.
