What I learned today 3/8/12

When Dr. Manes came to class today, I was terrified that their would be an additional assignment or an announcement that we all have to start over again because our projects are terrible. However, Dr. Manes' visit was very helpful.  I was very unsure as to how to include my service learning in my paper because I thought it was completely unrelated to the my topic.  Dr. Manes cleared this up for me, and I understand now that I have to connect something I have learned in service learning to my project.  For example, I can talk about how important correctly implementing design is in power generation, just like it is in building a home.  I also learned that our end product does not have to be flawless, which is a life saver.
