Coming out of project one my main goal was to write an overall better paper. This was done by taking my revisions seriously, making sure there was a significant difference between drafts in an attempt to have the best possible writing produced for the final draft. I feel like this was quite successful as there is quite a difference between my drafts. As I was writing my paper my thesis kind of specified itself. The more I wrote I was able to see the things I focused on in my paper, the things I found most important and was able to classify them into three groups, creating the main points of my thesis. Throughout the creation of my project I got closer and closer to the points I wanted to make, specifying them and including as much detail as I could. Reviewing my project, I think I have written something interesting and important. I think it is very important to advocate for people who may not be able to speak up for themselves and convince people to change the way they are viewed and treated. The criminally insane are a group of individuals who are very mistreated and often a misunderstood group of people. They need someone to advocate for their rights since (as explained in my paper) they are often neglected simple human rights. As far as interesting, I think psychology is fascinating, so for me this paper was a pleasure to write. Understanding the difficulties the criminally insane, a subset of the mentally ill, face was very new to me and by writing this paper I was able to learn so much.

I think a strength of my final project would be the design of my website. I worked very hard to make it look as much like a Wikipedia site as I could. Unfortunately, after exploring the options of making a similarly designed Wikipedia generated site, my efforts were shut down as the majority of them costed money or were extremely difficult to produce. I explored Wix and noticed I would still be able to design it how I would want it, while being free, and user friendly. I examined the format of Wikipedia pages and made the sections of my website reflect the formatting of Wikipedia. Had I had another week I would work on cutting down on the length of my paper. I was way over the word count with the final project adding up to 3,958 words of content. I simply just had so much I wanted to say and so many points to hit, however this is much too long and had I had extended time to work on it I would have worked on cutting the word count substantially. This is something I need to work on throughout project three. I always struggle with staying within the word count.
