Self Reflection

1. Q. How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why?  AE, P, AP, CR, or NC

A. I think my Senior Project grade is at a P so far because I’ve been up to date on every assignment related to it, I’ve been doing every little thing I’m required to do, and I’ve been earning P’s on just about every component as well.

2. Q. What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?

A. The category I think I’m doing better in is my research because I usually make sure I stay caught up with the count of every article and it helps give me some information related to my topic.  Also presentations, although I’ve only done one so far, I did learn that I actually do have a lot to talk about from my topic.

3. Q. What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?

A. The one thing I think I can improve on is just making sure my presentations are organized better because even though I got a P on my 5-minute presentation, I was a bit nervous on whether I had enough information to make the time, but it turned out I did; so for the next presentations I can try to get a better grade.
