Reflections on Webtext project

I am not completely done with this project, but have already learned a good deal more about how web pages work and how easy it really is to have a website. I am a little frustrated with some of the technical aspects of the website and am still having difficulty getting my corrections to go live. It has been and will continue to be a learning experience I am sure.

Reflections on the Ethnography Assignment

The Ethnography was a new concept for me and I was amazed at the variety and potential for subjects to write about. It is incredible all the subdivisions that can be found all aroud us. I am not really sure that I did what the assignment called for because it was almost so broad that it felt like anything would work yet that still doesn't feel right. I usually enjoy going in depth and looking into the details of situations and people so this was fun in that regard as well. It gave me a chance to put my observations down on paper instead of keeping them in my head. I enjoy the way writing can challenge us to notice more about the world. As we attempt to make it make since on the page we understand more and more about the world that we live in.

Reflections on the Research paper

The biggest thing I feel has improved is my attitude towards research. I am usually frustrated and discouraged but being able to use the Articles and the databases it was much more enjoyable. Who would have thought that the research would be the easy part, I was encouraged to find a wealth of scholarly articles pertaining to training horses and gleaned quite a bit of information. This paper was better as far as stress goes as well however, I can't say how it really was until I get it back and see what my grade is. All in all I enjoyed the paper even though it was a long research paper.
