Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Professor Shackleford, who gave valuable feedback throughout the process and Irene Urbina Zuniga, who helped guide me through formatting my infographic and posting on the Research Scholars website.

It was very interesting to see an infographic this complex and informative. I was not expecting it to be this long considering that the one we are working in class is not going to have that much text included. On my end, the infographic that I’m working on will look similar to this one but I plan on making it look more simple and easier to comprehend. Lastly, I liked how the pictures that were used perfectly explained the text.

Emma this is very well done. Your infographic is neatly organized and the pictures are beautiful. I cannot imagine how much time you spent on this, because it’s clearly handrawn artwork. That’s excellent. Your simplification of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism down to CAMplants made it easy to remember. To think that these plants evolved millions of years ago and are still here today because of this process is really neat. Now I’ll know that whenever I see a cactus here in Texas that it is a CAMplant.

The infographic was visual appealing and the color way matched the information that was given. The information was interesting and it did its job by delivering a lot of information in a fast and effective way. I like how you incorporated the evolution and statistics. That was my favorite part of the infographic. Overall, this infographic was very appealing visually and with the information it was providing.

This is a very well-made infographic! The combination of the iconography, the labeling, and the information made it very easy to absorb the information. I also was very impressed with the natural flow of the infographic, the placing of the information and iconography felt natural and very well organized. Overall, the design of the infographic is well thought out, the information is easy to digest, and the iconography amplifies your theme.

I liked the pictures in your infographic. I could tell you put a lot of thought into your work. From my understanding, your pictures are hand-drawn. Your artwork is exceptional. I am a political science major and I find it hard to find time to read about other topics regarding science because I don’t have exposure to these topics because my major is about politics. I enjoyed reading about the functions of plants and how they work to survive. I am a proud plant mom and found this to be truly pleasing! Good job

The images you selected were fun and made information much simpler. I do not know if you intended this photographic for those already somewhat knowledgeable about autotrophic processes, but if not, it might confuse viewers (like me) as to Phase II of CAM given that they might not know what RuBisco is. Otherwise, everything was explained smoothly, and including examples of plants that use CAM makes clearer CAM’s importance.

The Infographic presented was beautifully detailed and Demonstrated the CAM functions in the most ideal way. The Evolution section being formatted in a timeline is very helpful and considerate. The illustrations made by hand were thoughtful detail and very helpful towards the understanding of the evolution and functions. Having examples that show and demonstrate was also helpful and at times vital for the understanding of concepts. Very organized and put together.

Hello, I really enjoyed reading this one because of the easy-to-follow layout and titles. All the icons used look hand drawn but are perfect in explaining your points easily, beautiful examples and very well explained. The explanation for how the stomata functions and its role was very clear as well as your explanation for CAM. The transition between the two was also great using the correlation between CO2 and CAM.

The images and overall flow of the infographic were phenomenal and extremely easy to read. I enjoyed learning about CAM plants because of how necessary they might be to the planet if our environmental conditions worsen. Although certain areas with low levels of water might be inhabitable for some plants, it is possible for CAM plants which will allow the continuation of such an important evolutionary trait. The more plants that are able to simulate the processes of CAM plants, the higher the chance they have to not only survive but thrive in locations all over the world.

The main thing I liked about this article was how fast it caught my attention through the drawings. I looked at the drawings first, then began reading. What a great way to describe and present your information. The information was direct and simple to comprehend with the help of your drawings. A great way to choose to displace and organize this infographic the way you did. Awesome work!
