This project was an assignment that focused on taking field observations and connecting our observations to what we’ve learned about conformity. I went to TJ Max and observed people standing in line. Then, I wrote an APA format paper that gathered my insights and knowledge about the topic.
Why I chose this project?
I chose this project because I am so proud of how it turned out. I’ve never written a paper that took field observations and then connected them to a topic. I’ve also never written in APA, so that was a challenge I overcame.
21st Century Skills used
The 21st-century skills I used for this project were information skills because I had to research conformity behavior and connect them to natural human behaviors. I’ve only written in MLA format, and transitioning into APA took time to study and understand the correct citing methods.
Demonstration of Growth
This project demonstrated my growth not only in research writing but also in transitioning to more of a college-level writing format.
How can I improve?
I could have improved by proofreading some of my sentences because my professor said some sentences felt choppy. The more I write the better I get so in the future I will pay more attention to these bad habits within my writing.
