Notes for Final: Erin

These are my notes for the final event/exam we are having tomorrow. I'm not sure if they are supposed to be in a table format like Emily's, but I just can't think that way. For these notes I first went through all of my posts, and tried to categorize them by focus area and then unit. My main focus for this class was to try and bring some relevance through self directed learning, so that's where most of my posts went. I then took a larger look at our blog in general.
