This page assumes you have continued with
your learning project to a conclusion.

It is important first to recognize that if you have not succeeded in learning what you first wanted, that you have not failed.  Success is not always determined by quantity of knowledge.  We are not all meant to be brain surgeons, soccer players, plumbers, or even spellers.  But we can recognize that some subject matter can be gained/enjoyed in other ways: consulting a specialist; watching or refereeing a game; hiring a plumber; using a spell checker.

Success in learning is also determined by an evaluation of your process, and what you have learned from this process.   Consider these questions, and answer from your experience:

Was the subject matter as important or interesting as you first thought?

What intrinsic motivations did you satisfy?

Was the process of learning that you chose effective?

.Did you learn anything you didn't expect?

Was a mentor/monitor helpful?  Were communications good?

Retrieve your extrinsic motivations.  
What role did they play in your learning process?

Was this self-motivation exercise effective?
