SELF-REFLECTION 3:
How I came up with this lab report was from my memo. I have suggested to the office of facilities about this topic since it is an ongoing issue to the City College community. I already had some of the resources to suggest how the CCNY shuttle buses can be resolved and improved for many commuters within going to and from the college. I suggested myself this would be the ideal topic to research and I want to contribute how the CCNY government can help fix the shuttle bus issue over the past years the community has faced.
What I had done to research my topic was researching specific colleges and institutions on how they helped with their bus schedule. The research contributed to this lab report has shown largely to possible solutions the institution can offer to solve this problem. The observations gained from my research was that there was a lack of CCNY Shuttle Buses that it’s impossible to maintain consistent bus stops due to large traffic jams going to and from CCNY which shows longer wait times.
I did find this topic fun and great to find out because it impacts my day to day routine due to sometimes taking the bus when I go to school. This topic made me think of how school-based activities are sometimes impacting ours daily routine and made me have a lens on a different situation. Since this institution mythology is just to get a degree by focusing on academic work, it made me think on participating on activities in the community where the students have a say in this very institution. The research was quite fun however it is challenging due to this pandemic going on. It made my research even more challenging when I try to research this topic since this has to do with talking with various groups of people as proposed before this virus impacted my college curriculum. It is not only that I am facing through this difficult time but all the students in the City College campus.
The research that I have done is more of articles, books, and videos produced by other members who had already researched this topic and use that to demonstrate a more possible solution for all authors would agree upon. With using the secondary sources, I understood the importance and how the authors tackle this situation on various ways which I understood as well.
How I would change this if I were to pursue this topic again is doing a primary research. Since this pandemic occurred, I and others are not able to go outside to communicate with others with this issue and I would do that more extensively. I would have more information then to have a more accurate data however given the circumstances, it would be a limited timeline.
