Senior Project Reflection

PART I: Two-Hour Presentation

(1) I believe that I deserve a P+ on my presentation because I really put a lot of thought and effort into what content I presented on. Also, I went over all the parts that were supposed to be covered, and I stuck to my lesson plan for the whole time. I also put a lot of work into the power point.

(2) I am most proud of taking up all the time for my presentation, because before going up, I was worried that I wasn't even going to make the 1 hour minimum time for presenting, but then in the actual presentation, I took up all the time I possibly could, and I really felt good about that.

PART II: Overall Senior Project Experience

(3) I feel like I did good on choosing an essential question, because it's such a big and important part of the project. I really wanted to choose one that was going to help me outside of the project, but at the same time be a good one to research and learn about for a whole school year, and I think I was successful in choosing the right one.
I feel like I could have done better on the exit interview, because it feels like if I would have prepared more then I would have had a lot more to say, thus maybe getting me a higher grade.

(4) My EQ was: What is the best way to making a living in skateboarding?
My best answer was becoming a professional filmer/editor. Because it is the best combination of being a realistic answer, yet still producing a comfortable living. For example, if I wanted to be a pro skater, then my chances are next to nothing, because of how much competition there is in the field. But to strive to be a filmer/editor, there is a lot less competition, and my chances are a lot higher. And at the same time, it's something that I've really grown to like.

(5) This last month, will a lot of projects being due, really forced me to answer my EQ. For the longest time I just had a lot of "maybe" answers, but in this last month, I was forced to really go through them and pick the best three, and I'm glad I did because it helped a lot once I had a set three answers that I could focus on. And, no, my EQ did not change, because I was so picky about choosing an EQ in the first place and I chose one that I was sure I was going to stick with and answer throughout the year.

(6) The only suggestion I can think of for Senior Project is to maybe spread out some of the projects that are due in May. Because there seemed to be an overwhelming amount of projects due at that time, and it was very stressful, and it seemed like there was no break until after the 2 hour. And if that's what way it was meant to be, then I guess it worked. But I think it would take a lot of stress of the students to make some of the projects due earlier so they don't have to sorry about so many at one time.

(7) P+ because I've done all the projects to the best of my ability. And the Senior Project as a whole isn't something that I just did to finish it, it was something that I really put a lot of thinking into it, and something that I really cared a lot about. And I really made the project personal to me, which I believe was the point of this project.
