Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

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

• I am proud of the way my presentation went. At first I was nervous, but once I was up there it just seemed easy. I went over the time I planned on covering and I think the flow just went great overall.

(2) Questions to Consider

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

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

• I would give myself an AE. I was able to take one look at a point on my PowerPoint and start talking about it. I felt I knew what I was talking about, everything flowed together, and my activities were a success. Everyone was able to understand how my activities and answers went together, everyone said they enjoyed my activities, and the debrief went well.

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

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

• I would give myself a P. My whole senior project was great overall, but I did have some bumps here and there. However, I did complete everything that was required of me for my project and I did research outside of the sources required on my WB.

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

•  There was a variety of sources for me to choose from. I was able to choose what way I wanted to head towards with psychology since there were several things to choose from.

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

• My independent components didn't go as planned. I had first planned to volunteer, but a lot of places required that you be out of high school, so I ended up doing work from the DSM5. My second component I had planned to mentor on Teencentral.net, but again it required that you be out of high school. I then did a course on adolescents instead. I think I would have tried a lot harder at finding other places to volunteer at if I could go back in time.

(5) Finding Value

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

• I wanted to be a psychologist, so this senior project helped me with understanding the field better and decide if this really was what I wanted to peruse in. This project has helped me become more knowledgeable in this topic as well and let's me know how I can make a change or better myself in this career path.
