Retrospective & Reflection (10th point) 0.85/1 I sent Mr. Mort a summary on slack ahead of time and did a review with another CSP student. I reflected on strengths, weaknesses, and future plans but could provide more detail on next steps and long-term goals.
Overall Score 9.0/10 I addressed all required aspects and a bit more, but there is room for improvement in maintaining consistency and better presentation skills, as well as taking more extreme interests in other people’s projects.

I did an online review with another student in CSP form another group, who I helped provided feedback on strengthening his MC blog reflection. He told me to try and provide les sinformation, since I was going over time, which I have tried to incorperate.
