Overall, what was your capstone experience like?

Submit your professional reflection, which answers the following questions (with a few ideas from me in sub-bullets, more for ethics because most students have not understood this.)  The sub-bullets however are just ideas and should not be used verbatim.  The questions for this reflection are in bold below:

Overall, what was your capstone experience like?

What does your portfolio show about what you have learned in the Program?
Does your portfolio highlight any strengths that you have or are they ordered according to the type of job that you would like?
How did the experience of critiquing work and receiving critiques help you to improve your work but also learn to provide good feedback.

From your previous reflections, look at the feedback that contributed to your portfolio designs or the design of your portfolio pieces and how they helped improve them or make you push them farther.
