The web folio assignment was the last assignment on Unit 4. In this assignment, we were instructed to create a website showcasing all the work from the past semester. My site includes a home page, about me, resume, application package, and best works page.

This assignment allowed me to look back and reflect on all the work I’ve done this semester, and how I have progressed over the past three months. I was able to identify areas of weakness through common issues that repeated across different assignments. Review is an important part of growth, as it allowed me to recognize my mistakes and grow from them. Going over my past assignments and looking at feedback opened my eyes to the value of others reading your work. Taking feedback into account will not only make me a better writer, but will also make me a better reviewer.

Organizing the web folio was a bit tedious, as I had to rearrange my original blog site to incorporate the new information. Creating a website with UBC blogs was also out of my comfort zone, as I am unfamiliar with the platform. I decided to use UBC to gain a new skill so I could learn how to navigate a different platform for website making. This assignment allowed for customization and creative freedom, which I found to be helpful in making my website how I want it to be.

Overall, unit 4 was a whirlwind. This unit I found to be the most difficult out of the 4, as the assignments required more attention to detail and was generally more time-consuming. In unit 4, we completed the three largest assignments, the Final Report, Application Package, and Web Folio. The final report was the most difficult out of the three, as it required me to frequently write and look over my work. This assignment was hard to keep up with, as there were so many different parts to bring together. Unit 4 has taught me to work on my time-management skills.

Over the course of the semester, we have been given lots of practice on peer review, and I think that this my biggest area of improvement. My main takeaway from doing these assignments is to pay attention to detail and revise my work to catch errors.
