reflections written by four students working on the same web application. Three themeswith four subthemes emerged from the data 1) how students perceived learning a) technical and b) professional skills, 2) how students perceived they were accomplishing project goals, and 3) the perceived relationship they had with the community partner a) the impact of their project and b) the impact of the community on themselves.This section will focus on unpacking each theme with supported quoted evidence from thereflections.Theme 1: Learning The first theme that emerged involved the perceived knowledge the students were acquiring.The knowledge ranged from technical software skills they learned in order to contribute
