The SensorTag project we did was a fun project spanning about a week in all. It was aimed at teaching us the ideas of design briefs, collecting data and then displaying it in an effective manner. To do this we split into groups, and using the TI SensorTag collected data on a thesis we had come up with previously as a group. Then we split off individually to write a scientific paper on our experiment and make an infographic displaying our data.
This project had many good things in it. I enjoyed making the infographic and Learning about exel to make charts. I learned a lot about writing scientific papers and design briefs though many of the things I learned did not show up on the test which was a bit of a problem. Overall the project was fun and at a good difficulty so it did not get tiring or tedious. However there are many things I would also like improved in the project. For one I felt the data collection was rushed and it was hard to spend a lot of time getting good, accurate readings and get back to class on time. second there were difficulties getting graphs from exel to google docs and then to photo shop and it would have been nice to be told a good way up front to do that. Finally, even though I learned a lot about scientific papers in the other areas this project was supposed to touch on I did not gain any new important information. Also, the information I did get, was not on the test causing a couple lower than normal grades:(.
