Reflection

Paper Reflection:

a.) I am happy with my paper because I feel that I made my points very clear and it was a smooth transition between thoughts. I also feel that I did a good job of followed directions so I am anxious to get back the results.

b.) I wish I would have changed the organization about my process because I feel that even though I feel like I got my thoughts out, it could have been put in different spots and places throughout my paper then they are right now.

c.) I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should really take the outline seriously and make sure that what you say makes sence with what you are thinking to make their lives easier and develop a quality research paper.

d.) Going forward with my project and presentation, I have to keep in mind that I will have to continue with my habits of staying on task because if I procrastinate, like i have, it will be more difficult for me to get everything that I did in such a short amount of time.

Project Reflection: A.) My project of //Product Development// was to create a video for students because I saw a need for an explanation for why people bully and how to stop bullying in the future. I believe I have yet to received a response from the township tv channel manager because I have tried to get a hold of him in Mr. Meder's office but he has not been there yet. Since a response has not yet been rendered by the one in charge of the channel, I will characterize the reaction I think I will recieve from the channel person as a yes because in the past i have seen student made videos on TV so i do not see why he wouldn't let me put it up there. B.) I am happy with my project because it went exactly how I wanted it to go. there were a lot of great pictures and my voice over sounds good so overall i think it was very successful. C.) Describe how the execution of one element/aspect of the project (internship, community service, social action, product development) had been a challenge to plan/organize for me It was difficult to see how much progress i would make on a certain day, so what I would do was overpace it so that the day it was due I would have everything done. D.) Explain why planning/organizing with foresight is an essential element for success as it pertains to this course I was able to spread all of the work out throughout three weeks and by the time I was ready to put it all together It went good up untill i had to put it on the computer. E.) Prioritize the skills of listening, reading and speaking in decreasing order of importance as essential elements for my success with this course. Explain why each is ranked in front or behind of the other skills... 1) listening 2) speaking, 3) reading... I feel that i did a good job of listening to what I had to do, besides the computer mishap i was able to do everything i wanted and do it on time. I feel that i spoke very smoothly and was able to get my ideas out very successfully. I did not read too much so I do not know how to rate that so I put it third. F.) Identify at least one technology-related skill, understanding or ability I developed/learned/gained during the course. Explain why it is of value to me. I was able to get my project done fully through the computer. I was able to use Windows Movie Maker and complete all of the tasks on the computer. G.) I wish I would have changed the computer problems about my process regarding the project because I was happpy to finish it and I made a big effort to get my work done so when i was unable to log on and get my script I wasn't able to work on my project. This was frustrating for me because I worked very hard on the project and because I couldn't log on I couldn't record, which set me back a few nights. H.) I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should predict a computer problem to make their lives easier and develop an acceptable quality course project. By pretending like they're going to have computer problems they will be able to avoid the worst and get their work done without one.
