Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

Pictures from my activity.

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I think I am most proud of how I was able to recover from the first part of my presentation. During the first section of my presentation I was nervous, and talking fast, and even forgot to put out my EQ placards. So during the first activity I calmed myself down, and then put out my EQ placards, so that when I continued my presentation I feld more calm, and on top of it.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
I would give myself an AE I did all the things on the contract and then I felt like I put in some extra effort. So going down the contract I met all the requirements of professionalism dressing professionally, engaging audience, and so forth. For Organization and creativity I had props , and i felt i used my time very effectively. I had research, and a bunch of examples for my answers, and i felt everything in my activity was pretty clear, and produced some good results. As for going above and beyond I felt my activity was pretty well though out, I got to school at 6:30am and set up a crime scene, as well as the inside of the classroom.Everything else i did as well i felt was pretty solid.

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

For senior project overall I feel I deserve an AE. This is because I never missed a notebook check or turned in a assignment late. I got a P+ on my first lesson, and an AE on my second. I felt throughout the year I consistently put out my best effort, and this project turned into something that did affect my life greatly.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
I think my mentorship worked very well for me, I have a good relationship with my mentor, and overall mentorship was my favorite part of senior year.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
I wouldn't do anything I felt I did each assignment with my best effort.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
So I don't plan on pursing crime scene investigation as a career, but certainly going to mentorship and finding a mentor and doing these presentations has certainly helped me. I am now comfortable going out and making connections, and networking with different people. Which is something I certainly was always scared to do and never planned on trying, but with senior project if sort of forces you in a way to conquer these fears and grow up.
