Blog 24 – Last Presentation Reflection

~I think this is the only picture that doesn't need a caption.

1. Positive Statement
1. What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
1. In my final presentation, I was most proud of how I did during my lecture. I’m not exactly sure how the audience felt, but I really liked how it went. To me, it seemed like the audience, as well as Ms. Edwards, was engaged. Overall, I would say I am most proud of all of the research I have done throughout the year. I really liked and enjoyed learning about something I am really passionate about.
2. Questions to Consider
1. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
1. I would give my presentation an assessment of an AE. I believe that I met all of the requirements for P consideration, and was able to do my presentation that was above and beyond. I believe that my presentation was very engaging and clear.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
1. Overall, I would give myself an assessment of an AE for the senior project. I believe this to be true because I was able to do everything I needed to in a timely and proficient manner, and I was able to go above and beyond in other aspects. For projects such as the I-Search paper, 2nd Presentation, and the Final Presentation, I believe I deserve an AE (in fact, I did get an AE for the 2nd presentation). All-in-all,I believe that I at least deserve a P, but was able to go above and beyond for some of the major components.
3. What worked for you in your senior project?
1. For my senior project, research and mentorship really worked well. In the beginning of the year, I did not have a mentor for a while, but when I did get one, everything really worked well.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
1. I would probably be more organized and do my projects a little earlier to avoid stress. I didn’t really procrastinate but for some things such as lesson preparations, I waited more than I should have.
5. Finding Value
1. How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
1. The senior project really helped me develop as a person. For example, I learned how to talk to other experts and professionals that I probably wouldn’t have talked to unless senior project needed me to.
