Reflections on Revisiting Documentation

5/4/2025

This week I revisited documentation while working on my project documentation for the end of the semester. I worked on building up a substantial document detailing most of the work I’ve done this semester, answers to questions that I struggled with but ultimately solved while working, an overview of the project as a whole, and where I think the project could go from here based off of my conversations with my project leader. Ultimately, I think I was pretty successful with it! Either way, it’s got all the info I wanted to put on it, and I think it’s relatively understandable.

I feel a lot better about documentation now. Before I was sort of confused by the rigidity of it all, but also found it to be slightly mindless. Now, I feel like I have a much better grasp of how to do thorough documentation and explanation while still being engaging to my reader and communicating the information that needs to come across. In truth, I actually really enjoyed compiling this and wonder how I might be able to do more in the future.
