Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

Title: Blog 24:  Last Presentation Reflection
Label: Presentation
Directions: Please answer the following questions, and submit them to the blog.
Due Date: The day after your block presentation by 8:00 A.M.


(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

My experience with mentorship. I feel like I've learned a lot, both negative and positive things, and it's shaped the way I look at certain things in life.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

I had all the requirements. I just didn't meet time.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? 
Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

Senior project was fairly easy for me and I feel I did fine aside from senior presentation.


(3) What worked for you in your senior project?


Everything aside from mentorship at first and presentation. The research process was fairly easy, although tedious and unnecessary at times. The interviews went smoothly, although the transcribing is questionable.


(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?

Finding a mentor and enjoying my topic. I would have done a different topic like music or business.


(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.


It has helped me find an interest in business. It's interesting how learning about one topic convinced me to pursue something else in the future. Why business? It is a faster paced and open field; I plan on doing pharmaceuticals maybe, simply because you're saving lives while doing business. 

So in a sense I do appreciate the long-winding research done throughout the year, because it helped me redirect the direction of life I want to take. Other than that it has been the opposite of helpful.
