Encyclopedia Project:
Through the encyclopedia project I was able to learn a ton of new concepts including the origin on polynomials, the uses of rational functions, and more. Before doing this project I just kind of skimmed over the unit when we learned about rational functions; but after this project I was finally able to understand the concept and uses of the rational function. I was also able to dive into the history of polynomial unctions since rational functions were originated from the polynomial function. This was very helpful in the same ways but it also gave me another aspect to research allowing me to delve deeper into each concept. Though out this project I was also able to learn a lot about my self as a learner compared to any other projects we have done in the past. I have never really been that interested in history and to be honest this project really confirmed my disliking of research and history. In general I really enjoyed the writing aspect of the project but I defiantly wasn't feeling the history aspect of it, which was kind of expected due to previous experiences. For the exhibition I would love to add in some examples of rational functions and their many uses because I feel like my paragraph didn't touch on that aspect as much as I would have liked. I might even add some visual elements to the project as well but I will see how much time I have. Overall I really enjoyed this project.
If I were exhibiting my project again I would have done the exhibition in a different location because no one even came to our table. In other exhibitions in different locations the entire room was crowded so I think thats why some people didn't get a chance to show theirs. I think my greatest strength moving forward into other math classes is my perfectionistic vision for most project which usually leads to a better end result. I defiantly have a lot of aspects I need to work on especially in math classes. I have a really bad procrastination habit and I'm really bad at test because I tend to never study ahead of time.

Semester One Exam:
This project was very different from anything I have ever done, in previous years all the exams were already made for us. In this project I really liked making our own exam but I didn't really like the fact that only some got put on the final exam. To study for the exam I am going to use all of the problems that I created along with the review to ensure enough practice. I really enjoyed the projects that we did and the pace we took. Although I had a hard time with understanding some of the concepts when they were taught in a weekly homework manner. It was kinda fast and we never really went deep into concept in those weeks. Also the last couple of units we did including graphing in 3D and completing the square were harder for me to grasp.
