Comment 1
1) How did the author use an outside source(s) of information to anchor their reflection.
Great incorporation of The Crucible into your reflection! The message certainly rings true to the assignment and really captures the essence of avatars that we've been discussing in class. Although it was not required, It would be nice to see you elaborate more on that relation and possibly tie another source into your reflection.
2) How well did the author describe the issues that he or she faced in creating the two avatars.
Very honest and human reflection. I find it very easy to relate to your reflection because I too felt disappointed after spending hours attempting to create a realistic avatar and was not able to express much creativity with regards to my fantasy avatar. From my perspective, your reflection is only limited by the Evolver software itself.
On another note, It would be nice if you included some details regarding your previous experience working with avatars. You reflection does a great job of documenting the main task but I am left wondering what your experience level and expectations were going into the assignment. Have you used any platform similar to Evolver before? Do you frequently use avatars? If so, in what environments? How does your experience using the Evolver platform relate or compare to your prior experience using avatars?
