Self-Reflection
As a whole, I believe I did a great job in following the rubric and completing this research assignment. I satisfied all the rubric requirements, and turned the project in on time. I am particularly pleased with my research paper, and I feel as though the paper thoroughly explains my topic and informs the reader on the Eightfold Path. The most challenging part of the project was created the website itself. Weebly gave me a little trouble when it came to uploading my Glogster collage and inserting my actual research paper. It would not allow me to format the paper in MLA style. I used my computer time wisely by doing all my research at school, and I accomplished the entire website at home. I actually enjoyed learning about the Eightfold Path and found its ideas relatable to the average person. I can use some of Buddha' s teaching and apply them to my life, and strive to spend my days in wholesome and positive thought. All of my information sources were extremely helpful and easily explained the ideas behind the Eightfold Path. This was by far the strangest research project I have ever created because it included so many additional requirements such as the multi-genre artifacts. I did not particularly enjoy creating the website, I would much rather just write a traditional research paper. However, I think I completed all the requirements necessary to achieve a good grade.
