(For uni) Jim, I don’t know if you’re going to ask us to write a reflective log but here’s one anyway to cover my back if you do. I think I was very lucky with this project overall, as everything kind of seemed to be against me, but it all turned out ok at the… Read More Reflection on Final Project
