14A - Halfway Reflection

  1. A skill that I had to develop for this course was timeliness. Making sure that I was planning ahead and working on assignments in a timely manner was the most important skill that I further developed for this course. 
  2. There were a couple of times when I felt like giving up and just not doing my assignments for the week. The main reason for this was stress or time mismanagement. But I pulled through and completed them to get a good grade. Whenever I felt like not doing the work I remembered that I need a good grade. 
  3. I would tell future students to work ahead and to think about the big picture. Don't think assignment to assignment, but instead think about what you are trying to achieve. By thinking about the end goal you are able to work easier and in a more productive manner.

    I think your advice for future students is spot on and will really help them generate better ideas for next semester. I feel your last bullet point was the most helpful and I wish someone gave me this advice before the class has started. Keep up the good work!

26A - Celebrating Failure

Earlier this semester I was taking a paleontology course to meet a science credit. I started the course while I was at home with my parents and brought my textbook with me. When I came back up to Gainesville I realized that I had forgotten my book at home with my parents. I needed it for the open-note exam later that week and I didn't know what I was going to do. Fortunately, my dad drove two and a half hours to come to bring it to me, but I still felt awful about having left it in the first place. What I learned was to be more mindful and make sure that I am doing everything to the best of my abilities, especially packing. Failure is definitely a hard thing to deal with. We feel ashamed and sad when we fail because we feel like we let others down. But failure is also an opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes. Without failing every now and then, we would never learn. This class has taught me that failure is an opportunity, not an obstacle.

18A - Create a Customer Avatar

My prototypical customer is a hippie in my mind. While being sustainable and ethical is easy for anyone to do, I see hippies being our main customers. This is because they're more likely to be the type to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle. Because of this lifestyle change, I see them as people that would use the app often. In my mind, they drive an electric car or an old used one. All of their clothes are thrifted and they shop for groceries at stores like Whole Foods.

9A - Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Who  Businesses that produce locally are mostly exempt as the consumer would already know where the product was made. Other businesses that are exempt would be local, sustainable businesses. What  This need differs because it meets a couple different needs. It meets both the need to know if the production was ethical and if the production was sustainable. Why
