Reflection

This week we had no discussion post; therefore, it helped me work further on my final project. We were required to submit an update to get feedback from the classroom's learning assistants. I only had a small section done but didn't want to continue in case I made any mistakes. Once I got the green light from my TA (she congratulated my work and I was able to make the connection that I was on the right path), I moved forward in completing the project. This week's major assignment was to write a small, formal paper creating an argument on whether or not the punishment of cybercrimes should be harsher if it happens more than once. I got the chance to look at both sides of the argument and investigate research from credible databases that I could use to back up my claims. The reading material provided me with information I had not been aware of regarding cyberbullying and what it entails.
