20 Time Individual Reflection

I chose this challenge, because it seemed interesting when I learned about it in class, and I wanted to know more about genetically modified foods. For example, the pros and cons of genetically modified foods and how they are made. My goal was to see whether my prediction was correct about how people would prefer the genetically modified foods over the organic foods. My plan was to first research about the topics that I would need to conduct the experiment and learn more about the subject. After I finished researching I planned to start preparing for the experiment by getting the foods and then bringing it to school to have people rate the organic and genetically modified foods. Then after I finished my experiment I would analyze my results to see if my prediction was correct and then use my research to add more information about why my results ended up that way.

My partner and I were able to complete our project on time, but we had a few problems during the process. We were able to get results that showed that our prediction was correct, but we didn't have any information about why people preferred one food over another and what are the differences between genetically modified and organic foods. During this project, I learned that I should not procrastinate on things and that I should plan ahead when I want to complete things. If I had another chance to do this project I would spend more time on the experiment, because we were not able to have many people rate the foods and we didn't have many foods that people could try. I learned that I tend to do things later when I was supposed to do it earlier, and I tend to procrastinate because I think that I have enough time to do everything later on. 

I would not continue this challenge, because I think that I proved a point about why people prefer genetically modified foods, the advantages and disadvantages of it, and I also finished it already with m partner. If I did continue it I would add more to the experiment like using more types of food and having more people try the foods.
