Blog 23: Final Lesson Reflection

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

Presentation:

I was the most proud of my research time and time overall. In my second lesson plan I almost didn't make time. This time around I was extremely nervous about not making the thirty minutes research time and the hour. Once I began the presentation I realized that I was more than prepared for the presentation. I was able to present for about forty on research time and then use the rest of the block for my activity and it could've gone for longer if I was allowed too. I am really proud of how much I was able to pace myself and just go into depth as much as I did with all the information to support all of my answers.

Senior Project: 

I would have to say that for my senior project I am most proud of how much I was able to accomplish. I was able to keep up with everything that was thrown at me without getting overwhelmed or even waiting till the last minute to complete my work. I am honestly proud of how much I did not procrastinate and was surprised to see how the years prior really prepared me for my senior project.


(2) Questions to Consider
a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?
AE  or   High P  

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE  or High P

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

In my senior project everything worked for me. I think something that really benifited me with my senior project would have to me used books for my research insead of articles. Articles on my topic were opinionated and not reliable so very early on I got tons of books and used all that information because it was factual. This was probably what made everything else go so smoothly because everything somewhat revolves around your research, where you get it from, and if it's reliable or not.

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

Honesty if I had a time machine I wouldn't change anything about my senior project. Everything worked for me and if I did struggle with something I overcame it quickly. If anything I would just tell myself before my presentation to relax because I was completely prepared and I had no reason to be stressing in anyway.

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

Since I am not planning to make this a career in the future this I a difficult question to answer. I would just have to say that it prepared me for big tasks that I need to complete in the future. This project really taught me how to pace myself and use my time wisely. This will help me in college because college will be a new task that is coming quickly. I know after completing such a huge project that as long as I study or do my research that I can fully dissect the task thrown at me. Which is truly helpful in any future endeavor.
