Final evaluation

Evaluation	Strengths	Weaknesses
What were the main strengths and weaknesses of the project?	My main strength was how the final product looked and played, and the fact that I was confident in presenting it to a moderately large group of people. This highlighted one of my aims in using various programmes (PowerPoint, Excel etc) to create the final project.	I definitely feel that sticking to a better time plan would have drastically improved the project an my management of it, and my weakness was that I should have had more time planned to ensure all aspects of my video were playable and would run smoothly on the presentation day.
What new skills did you learn? What technologies did you learn?	The use of Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel and a voice memo’s app on my phone were used to create the final project. I also enhanced my skills on premier pro by editing the sound and visuals. This worked well once the technical issues were fixed.	I feel that one of my weaknesses of this was using the voice memo app on my phone, as I feel the audio could have been of better quality had I had the correct audio recording technology available at the time of recording. I also believe `I could have used Adobe Audition to edit the sound, to broaden my range of programmes used.
In doing the project, what did yok earn about yourself and the way in which you learn?	One strength I learned about myself was that I am a very interactive learner – I learned this because being involved in gathering the data actively helped me to understand it, and also visually learned more about the data through making it into various graphs.	One weakness I noticed was my time management, and how poorly it can affect the outcome of my work. If I had stuck to a stricter timeframe in which to do the project in, I would definitely see an improvement in my enjoyment for the creation of the project, and an increase in the quality of it.
Has the project helped you in terms of your future plans?	Yes- it has helped me gain the knowledge and independence to be able to gather information in a subject which will be crucial in my future career plans – becoming a teacher. It has shown me that one of my strengths is talking to groups of people, which is a large part of teaching.	However, my weakness in this has to be the project management, which will be an improvement to make during my university studies.
if you were to do your project again, what would you do differently? The same?	I would definitely keep the project subject the same, as it is very useful towards my future career prospects and was interesting to discover.	I would stick to a strict time frame and ensure to give myself extra time to ensure that I do everything in my power to make the video run smoothly on the day.
