Senior Project Reflection

1) Two-Hour Presentation Student Assessment
I'd give myself a solid P because I think I met all the requirements. I was nervous but I knew my stuff. I feel like I did teach the students some new things, and that is super cool.
(2) What are you most proud of in your 2 hour presentation and why?
The thing I am most proud of is that my presentation actually worked out and also that I actually faced my fear. The morning of the presentation everything crumbled down! It was all going to be a mess because some of my activities were not going to work out. But then I had to get up there and they did end up coming along. For four years I was scared to death about the presentation and as soon as i got up there I was super nervous,but after a while I just became relaxed and just having that feeling while presenting in front of a class made me feel proud of myself. Ohh and my third answer activity actually worked out! Oh man. I didn't think it would but I saw the whole influencing going on right in my face and that was great to see, because it proved my teaching to be true.
PART II: Overall Senior Project Experience
(3) What do you think you did well on in the project? What could you have done better? Please explain.
In the whole senior project, I felt that in the beggining of the year I was on top of my stuff and I got on my Service Learning Fairly quickly and finished my hours fairly quickly. I turned in my assignments when they were due. But man, when second semester came along I just fell apart! Nothing went right, which affected my schooling. I could have had better time management and planed my days out better. I began to slack off and I felt like I could have exploded from all the stress I had. But towards the end I did try making up for slacking by trying my best on the Science Fair, and other projects.
(4) What is your EQ and what is the best answer to your EQ?
EQ: What is most significant when Investigating a person's death?
My best answer is looking at the evidence from the body whether it be on it like finger prints and wounds or in it like poison and post mortem changes and anything found in the autopsy. I feel that my two other answers (evidence from the crime scene and evidence due to witnesses) could easily be tampered with and I don't think the body lies.
(5) How has the last month of culminating events (e.g I-Search, Two-Hour, Exit etc) affected your answer to your EQ? Has it changed? Why or why not?
None of those has changed my answer. It has been the same throughout the whole year. I almost did change it to say that the crime scene was most significant, but Then I did further research and again remembered why I had chosed the body which made me stick with it even more. I truely believe that the body of the deceased is very crucial in the death investigation...it's their investigation in the first place.
(6) What suggestions do you have in order to improve the senior project?
Now that it is pretty much done with. I see the big picture and I think this year is fine as it is. Sometimes it was just plain difficult, like when we had Model assembly annd Senior project it was way too hard to manage those two, and on top of the other extra curricular activities that I had. Over all though, I think it was challenging but it really opened my eyes as to what I need to work on. like my time management.

(7) Overall Senior Project Assessment
Overall, on the whole senior project, I feel that I deserve a P. Aside from not turning some stuff in on time due to difficulties. I really went out there to get some service learning, I ended up getting taught in two places with so many experts. I can say that I worked with atleast 7 experts in my field of interest and learned something from each of them.I turned in about 80 articles and I did fairly well on my Science Fair. I feel like I learned so much about this field from my research and everything else I have done.
