Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

I am most proud of myself for completing Nanowrimo. It was a really intense experience and it taught me the most helpful things. For example it gave me two of my answers. It also inspired me to pursue writing in college and decide to put more effort into honing in on my writing skills.

(2) Questions to Consider

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

 I worked extremely hard on my presentation to make it feel as close to what I experienced this past year as I could. I dedicated a lot of time on making my set up creative and easy to understand. I believe that I deserve the AE because of all of this and more. I think that while not everything went as smoothly as I could hope, I still made a well informed, organized and creative presentation.

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

I think if you look at my blog alone then you can see that I have been putting a lot of dedication into my senior project. I have put in the mentorship hours, gone to see authors and tried to extend myself as much as I could, into the world of storytelling.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
I loved that the EQ did not have a specific design, it made the experience much more enjoyable because I was comfortable with my EQ. I also really enjoyed my mentorship because it gave me a reason to go outside of my comfort zone. The interviews were also incredibly helpful and they pushed me out there into the open so I could experience new things surrounding my topic. 

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
I would go back and push myself to do more interviews, because they were so helpful.

(5) Finding Value

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

It has taken away my fears of having long presentations, that's for sure. I don't think I'll ever be nervous for presentations anymore. I mean, I wasn't really very nervous to begin with but from here on out there's nothing I can't handle. Also, it taught me knew ways to connect the information I have gathered from multiple sources. Especially when there are a lot of them.
