Reflection:
The formal report was the largest and most detailed project of the semester. We added the research element of the course outcomes in a way that we hadn’t in the other projects. We not only had to write an analysis of several websites, but also had to put them into a context in which we were presenting to another theoretical company. We had strict formatting rules to follow, but we also included components with their own set of formatting rules, such as the letter of authorization and the letter of transmittal at the beginning of the report. We had to create and insert our own logo and other graphics into the document, allowing us some creativity in our design. We also had to divide the elements up among the three of us in the group in order to make the most efficient use of our time and efforts. I relied heavily on the resources Dr. Guler provided for us for this project, such as formatting PowerPoints and previous student examples. This was our last formal project, and served as a culmination of all the skills we learned throughout the course.
