Senior Project Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or senior project and why?
The thing I'm most proud of in my 2-hour is how well I was able to put the information I learned into word. I had a problem showing what I know during the Exit Interview so I was unsure about whether or not i would make the same mistake in my presentation. But it all worked out in the end.
2a.What assessment would I give myself on my 2-Hour Presentation and why?
P+. I met all the requirements very well, but not above and beyond. I effectively engaged the audience, had no trouble in meeting the required time, and I spoke with confidence.
b. What assessment would I give myself on my senior project overall and why?/
P. Because I never went above and beyond and only met all the requirements.
3. What worked for me in my senior project?
I felt that the actual science fair, like talking to the judges and and explaining your experiment, helped me feel more confident about explaining things I've learned and designed.
4. What didn't work for me in my senior project?
The three-column chart didn't work for me. The assignment was basically something I had to do and I just set it aside after it was completed. The main purpose of the three-column was to help me find my logical thought process, but my iSearch and Towers was enough to show me that.
5. Finding Value
The senior project has helped me become more organized with my basic school work and research.

Interpretive:

The most important thing I gained from my experience at service learning is being able to last eight rounds in a sparring match. Since my essential question is “What is the best way for a boxer to dominate an opponent in the ring?” experience in a fight is the most beneficial way for me to answer my question. When I first started service learning, I was only able to last about a round before I was out of breath and in pain. I couldn’t try any techniques I read about in my research because I was never able to last long enough. Now that I built up my stamina, I can try all the things I read about and see which one best answers my essential question. 

Applied:
Service learning help me answer my EQ because it help me find evidence that helped support all three of my answers through countless sparring matches, hours of conditioning, and from the experience of my trainer.
