Senior Project Reflection

  1.  Positive Statement 
    1. I think I did really well with my activities, people seemed to really enjoy them
  2. Questions to consider
    1. I think I would give myself a AE. I met time, and was able to regurgitate all of my planned presentation material. People seemed to really enjoy my presentation a lot, I had no complaints afterwords, only complements. Just as a whole, I believe I did well 
    2. Overall, I think I deserve a P on the senior project. I did well on the project, not exceedingly, but well enough.
  3. What worked?
    1. I liked i-Search, it was a way for me to plan what was going to be in my two hour. I used a lot of the material I had written in my i-Search, in my two hour. 
  4. What didn't work
    1. Research, I did not like the research aspect of it namely because I'm a horribly messy person. I'm terrible at keeping things together and so the research folder was a nightmare. 
  5. How was senior project helpful 
    1. i-Seach was the longest paper I've had to write in a long time. We don't do many essays, so writing this one was a helpful bit of practice for college life. Additionally it's made me more assertive, and that's always good for professional life

    • The most important thing I gained from this experience was the ability to project a sense of self confidence and authority. It was really important to be able to do that when I was dealing with kids, because, like sharks, if the smelled fear they would move in for the kill. This new found skill will be helpful when the 2-hour comes around.

    • Well, I think this was really one of the most helpful things to my senior project. It gave me a chance to try out and put into practice all the coaching skills and tips I'd been researching. It was a hands on experience. Without my service learning I think it would have been hard to come to a conclusive answer; articles on the internet just weren't enough. You can't be a coach with no one to coach.
