(1) Positive Statement:
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
During my block presentation I was most proud of the audience involvement and engagement that I had managed to acquire. I was happy about this particular aspect of my presentation because I was rather nervous that they would not be attentive or the least bit interested in my topic. In capturing their attention I was able to effectively convey my findings in depth (in which they successfully understood each answer) which helped guide the overall flow of the presentation.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?
I would give my presentation a P+ because I was able to effectively explain my senior topic in depth and delve into the aspects that shaped each answer within the specific amount of time. Also, I was able to present my research as well as what I've learned from my experience at the Claremont Courier and Independent Components.
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
I would give myself an AE for the extensive research and content that I have acquired throughout the senior project down to the thorough breakdown of my knowledge in my final presentation.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Upon reflection, I personally feel that my mentorship with the Claremont Courier was what worked best for me, especially in shaping my understanding as well as the significant answers to my essential question.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to not reference my notes and powerpoint so often, this I feel, hindered my connection with the audience and their understanding that I knew my content.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
The senior project has been a crucial aspect in shaping and guiding my future endeavors because it allowed me the opportunity to intern at the Claremont Courier, in which I was able to experience the field of journalism as well as what it means to be a reporter. Also, my senior project has given me the basis and foundational information needed to further my knowledge. I now know what elements shape an article and narrative. In a nutshell, senior project has fueled me with needed tools to guide my passion for creative writing.
