Sprint 1

     I suppose that thus far this semester, it would be most imperative to discuss my thoughts on the training module as that has taken up the bulk of our time to this point. Despite being one who isn't a huge fan of presentations, I actually quite enjoyed my time on the project, considering it to have been a very informative endeavor, and I found that, if anything, it was very helpful in getting me back into the setting of working as part of a team. 

     As for the lectures and supplemental text, I don't think it would be unfair to say that it has been more difficult to glean the information most important. That is not to say I don't understand the concepts we're covering, but simply to say that I've always been more of an active learner, and I feel that even when succeeding, I have always faced the most struggle when being taught in a passive setting, such as through lecture and reading. It has also been difficult to choose appropriate times for reading outside of work, and I have always found it difficult to strictly focus on educational text, yet I always get lost (in the good sense) in the applications I work on, very focused on everything on my screen, picking up patterns, engaging myself in short bursts of research when I need to figure out how to do something. I suppose I've always felt most comfortable in that environment.

     Finally, despite having only spent one class on it so far, I felt the initial discussion my team had on our term project was very productive, and it gives me high hopes for how our project will develop throughout the semester.
