Senior Project Reflection

PART ONE: Two Hour Presentation


1. Student Assessment- P
         -I met my talking time and the group seemed to enjoy the activities. I feel like I met all the P requirements but didn't do much to get much higher than that.


2. What are you most proud of in your two hour presentation? Why?
          -I'm proud of the poster I made because I have terrible penmanship but they looked pretty dope. (I really am proud of them but I think I should put an actual presentation answer soo...) I'm proud of the feedback I received from the junior class and my classmates.




PART TWO: Overall Senior Project Experience


3. What do you think you did well on in the project? What do you think you could have done better? Explain.
          - I think I did well with my service learning and Independent Components because I learned the most doing those. I think I could have done better prioritizing my actual work loads because I had a tendency to turn things in kind of late.


4. What is your EQ and what is your best answer?
          - What is the most effective way to influence young athletes to play softball? -Having a good coaching philosophy


5. How has the last month of culminating events affected your answer to you EQ? Has it changed? Why or why not?


          -The last month made me think more about my answers more, especially the three column chart and I-search because I had to go in depth and connect answers. I kinda changed my best answer from just communicating to philosophy because philosophy includes communication so it had my old answer in it.


6. What suggestions do you have in order to improve the Senior Project?
          - I think it would be a lot of easier if all of the teachers announce dates and clear things up, so all the houses are on the same page with things. some points in the year, different houses had different due dates for things or were unaware of some parts of project.


7. Overall Senior Project Assessment- P
        - I think that I did good with some components like; my three column I was proud of, exit interview, service learning, and my two hour. However, some other parts were lacking and I could've done a lot better on.

5-min. Presentation Reflection

What would you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

I think that my performance wasn't great, but it was okay because I had things to talk about for 5 minutes. And I was talking about balls which makes teenagers giggle haha.

What was the most challenging  to do and why?

The most challenging part of the 5-min is to figure out what to talk about for a short amount of time because there is so much to talk about, narrowing the topic down to only five minutes is tough, when you can keep going on and on about the topic.
