= Asian Studies Final Project Self-Evaluation =


 * What did you contribute specifically to your project?**

For teenage culture of Japan and Korea, I was able to shape much of the project without any research. Since I know well about my own country, and I have been interested in the Japanese culture, it was delightful of me to write and give a vivid description of the two cultures.


 * How successful do you think you conveyed your research to your audience?**

I think I was very successful in conveying my research, because it was easy for most of my audience to connect to and understand. The wordings have no hard terms, but just explanation of cultures of the three countries. Since my subject is on teenage culture, it is also very easy for other teens to relate to my research.


 * What would have made your presentation more successful?**

My presentation would have been more successful if I was able to experience the actual culture hands on rather than through the internet. It was extremely difficult for me to research on mainly China, because I have never been there before. To find out about their culture through the internet was very hard. Next time, I would like to visit China and experience the cultures my self.


 * How successful do you think your technology-based materials were in conveying your research?**

I think I was pretty successful, because in creating the whole layout and the title page look nice, it was fairly easier than I had expected. I just used photoshop to create nice decorations for my page. Researching on the internet was no problem also, because I am quite used to it. I think the technology helped my page become more organized and visually be able to learn about my topics.


 * What would have made your technology-based materials more successful?**

It would have been more successful if I had created something more clear for the viewers to visualize. For instance, creating a comic life would have helped understanding much easier. However, I think I did a fair job on the technology part of this project.


 * What did you learn from this project? Submit any other comments after this question.**

From this project, I was able to compare and contrast of the different cultures. I have figured and learned that there were, actually, tremendous amount of small similarities among the three nations. I had also learned how to create a instructive wikipage that will self teach itself. At first, I was very confused in how to create this page. However, as time went on the experience has taught me to be a better writer, designer, and a teacher.
