reflective learning questions:
A.) Describe what you had to do in the assignment.
In this activity we were given two situations where two different people had two different budgets and wanted to know what the best deal was when it came to making car payments.
B.) Describe the technology skills you had to use to complete this assignment.
We used the online amortization calculator that was given to us on the class website to figure out what the overall lowest payment was that we could receive.
C.) Describe what you learned and accomplished by creating this piece of work.
I better understand how interest rates work, and how depending on the down payment and interest rate your monthly payments can vary. The higher the down payment, the less the monthly payments.
D.) Explain what you did well in this assignment?
I followed all directions and did what was asked in the activity. I found the loan calculator very easy to use also.
E.) Explain what you would do differently to improve your work in this assignment?
To save time, instead of saving each individual screenshot of each loan chart, it would have been less time consuming to just copy and paste the screenshot directly to the Microsoft word document.
Reflection: The best deal for both buyers would be which ever plan will end up costing the least amount of money when the loan has ended. If you cannot afford the high monthly payments, you should instead choose a payment plan with a lower monthly bill.
