Wishing...

Kuhlthau-style. I am trying to focus on the "sense of accomplishment" that Kuhlthau describes more than my disappointment. There's definitely an increase in self-awareness. I am pretty satisfied with how my project went overall. I really feel as though I found a lot of good information that helped form my decision. And I really enjoyed researching my topic, which is just shocking. On the other hand, there are things I wish I had done differently. One of my problems was not being able to view my blog at school. I have become accustomed to working on homework after school, at school - it's nice and quiet, and I just work best there. So I felt like I got off to a sort of slow start because of that, and that's such an awful excuse/reason! I am also not certain that my blogs or product really show the amount of time I put into my research. I don't have any major regrets, but these are some things that I can learn from; the biggest being, I guess, time management.

Something else I wonder about is if I searched in enough places. I felt like I found more than enough information right off the bat, but I always feel a little weird when that happens. So the majority of my information came from websites found through Google and journal articles accessed through Academic Search Premier. It's not like all the articles I found were from one website or one journal; I viewed articles from many, many different journals. I just question whether I should have used something like Web of Science even though Academic Search Premier covers so much, including environmental sciences.
