Self Reflection:
(1) Positive
Statement:
What are you
most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
-The activities that I have for my 2hr presentation, I-search/Working Bibliography, and my service learning because the activities that I have on my 2hr help me explain more about my answers and how it relates back to my E.Q. Also, my I-search/Working Bibliography helped me back up all the things that I presented on my 2hr. And lastly, to be able to do service learning on the facility helped me
(2) Questions to
Consider
What
assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation
(self-assessment)? Why?
AE P+/P AP CR NC
- I looked at the 2hr presentation and I did all of the requirements for P and I think I did a little bit over than what's on the rubric which is why I will give myself at least P+/P for it. I also ask some of the students that watched my presentation and they said that they had fun and they learned from my presentation helping elderly patients. They never said that it was boring, they actually find it interesting and fun. That's why I feel accomplished.
What
assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project
(self-assessment)? Why?
AE P AP CR NC
- I deserve at least P on my senior project because I did all the components on time and I actually did the work. I've never been late in submission and I did my best to meet all the P requirements.
(3) What worked
for you in your senior project?
- Service learning, Working Bibliography, and I-search worked a lot. It helped me keep track of all my research and my journey all throughout senior year. On the other hand, service learning help me observe and actually experience what our topic is all about. I got to explore an elderly facility because of it. And it did change my point of view of the elderly patients. Though it took me a long time to understand the purpose of 3 column chart, it did help me organize my answers for my E.Q. Science fair is also helpful because it gives you an science perspective of your topic/issue.
(4) What didn’t
work for you in your senior project?
- Independent component should only be one. I didn't see the point of having two independent components. The second component wasn't as helpful as service learning or research. The interviews wasn't as effective as its suppose to be. Two hour house only meets few times thus making it useless because you can't get guidance on your project with meeting only once or twice a month to prepare for 2 hour presentation. The exit interview should happen right after the students established their second answers so that in case that the EQ needs to change or answers itself, then students have time to change their answers or E.Q. without procrastinating (which usually affects their presentation); putting exit interview a week before 2hour presentations isn't helpful considering that most flaws weren't seen until the exit itself. Either do that or have at least 2 teachers to check on each students senior project so the flaw can be seen right away.
(5) Finding
Value
How has the
senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use
examples.
- I would definitely say that at somehow it will help me in my future. For example, service learning helped me experience working in an rehab facility. In the rehab facility I learned to make connections and to be open minded and understanding to the patients. The 2 hour presentation helped me become a better presenter. Senior project also guided me to which path in the future I can take. For example, working in a rehab facility, I now know how to adapt better on busy medical field environment. I can manage to go with the flow. More research also gives you a better product. For example, my science fair experiment, after putting a lot of research and experiment, the lab report that I wrote was almost like a college paper which is good because it will be easier for me to write reports once I get into college. (which is something that I'm really thankful for)
