Description of Work/Assignment: For my food health and nutrition through the UHMC college classes I was given a google doc assignment. The assignment was to search and fill out health information about the calories and such else, and compare the items of food and condiments to other brands.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?: The 21st century skill I believe addresses this assignment would relate to would be information skills. Within this college food and nutrition class I am taking this semester, it revolves around nutritional information surrounding all types of things. For this assignment it was food brands and their prices along with nutritional value. What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?: From this assignment, I am most proud of calculating the calories correctly. It was a requirement to calculate the calories, which was something I have never done before. I would look back and forth between notes, until I finally figured it out. This assignment was a bit lengthy as well, but that's how college assignments are. How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?: I developed/improved my information skills by learning new information about calculating calories. Not only with the calculations, however, by learning new information about the different brands and prices in a very common supermarket we probably all shop at.
What was most difficult about completing this task?: The most difficult part of completing this task was calculating the calories and figuring it out. In the end I did though. During the assignment I was trying to bounce back from having vertigo as well which made it difficult to complete this assignment.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?: If I could start over, what I would do differently would be to look more carefully at how to do the calculations because during the assignment there were multiple times when I would have to go back and recalculate my answers.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?: This was pretty much an all new thing I haven't ever done in the past. Taking information and comparing it to other brands and such is something familiar, although, calculating calories was a new thing for me.
