2016 Final Reflection

---

e-Communication Reflection:

Reflect over your time in e-Communication. Using specific projects as examples; answer the following questions, include industry terminology, and reference the 5 guarantees: (technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, project management)

As a blog/paper, you are to reflect and write at least one paragraph upon each of the following questions.  

• What did you learn?
• How did you learn it?
• Why is it important?
• What are your greatest strengths/what are your weaknesses?
• How have you improved?
• What are you going to do with what you have learned?
• Is there anything you would change? Why?
• Conclusion/Summary

---

Style (Voice):

Your post should not read like a classroom assignment. Don’t just answer the questions to the directions.  Speak to your audience as if you did this as a budding “creative” and you are sharing your experience. When asked, why did you do this...don’t say, because my teacher assigned it.  It should feel friendly, yet professional.

Take your time this is a reflection over your year in e-Communication.  Show your processes/learning that took place.

As you work, here are a few items/questions to think about:

• Your growth from when you first entered in e-Communication.
• The relationships that you have built; peer, professional, and educational.
• The number hours to complete one project, from first thought to completed piece.
• Show evidence of your processes.  
• Organize your thoughts and ideas.  

Presentation:

Blog has headings/sub-headings/body is written with concise paragraphs and includes appropriately placed evidence. The typeface, size, and color should make your text easy to read.  Each post needs to be aesthetically appealing, and well organized.
