Moving along fine

2. How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?


 * I am working on my project effectively during slc and after school. If i had the last month to do over again i would not have gotten hurt so i could be further than i am now. I would also check and double check before ordering something to make sure that it is the right part and the right quantity so that i dont waste money. ||

3. What kinds of decisions have you found yourself making recently? Have they been good decisions? What are you learning about how you make decisions and what kind of effect these decisions have on your learning?


 * Most of my decisions are good decisions. one of my decisions was rushed (Self-inflicted rush) and i ended up ordering the wrong part which only prolongs the time. I have learned that decisions are very important to my learning because time is knowlege. ||

4. What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc?


 * i learned that i am determined, and i have learned that my working style is much more effective now that i am mobile. ||

5. What did you learn about your topic/subjects that you didn’t know before? What connections among the various things you have studied and researched do you see? Have you had any “aha” moments? What were they and how did they affect you? I have learned that reading is important. When ordering it is very important to check what is being ordered. I have learned several things about ebay and ordering ebay. I have contacted joe engleman and learned several things about steering, hubs and spindles on atvs for my dune buggy. I never knew about the frontsuspension and steering and i learned what i need to do with my dune-buggy. I have also learned that my project is more of a dune-buggy than a go-cart. So i have changed the name of my project.

6. How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project?


 * I have used almost all of the feed back from Mr. Hibbert, Butckavitch, and Joe Engleman. I am going to continue to talk to all of these people and continue to take their advice. ||
