Senior Project Reflection

PART I: Two-Hour Presentation

(1) Two-Hour Presentation Student Assessment

AE

I feel that I deserve an AE on my 2 hour because I was able to communicate my topic and apply the information I learned from my research. I was able to figure out away to explain some pretty difficult things to people with very little previous knowledge, while getting the juniors and seniors to work together well.

(2) What are you most proud of in your 2 hour presentation and why?


I am really proud of both my set-up, and my communication. In past presentations I havent really spoke clearly, and I've always known that speaking has been a problem for me. Talking to other people that watched my presentation, people were able to understand and hear everything I was saying. I also felt that my classroom set up was creative, and having no desks actually made it easier to teach.


PART II: Overall Senior Project Experience

(3) What do you think you did well on in the project? What could you have done better? Please explain.


I think I did well with my research. A lot of my sources were journals and books, and were very informative. I could have done a better job defining my answers early on. I could have focused my research a bit more.

(4) What is your EQ and what is the best answer to your EQ? 


EQ: What topic in music philosophy is most beneficial to performance?


best answer: determining accreditation for performance


(5) How has the last month of culminating events (e.g I-Search, Two-Hour, Exit etc) affected your answer to your EQ? Has it changed? Why or why not? 


I-search gave me a clear direction in my project, and is what forced me to finally pick my answers. This helped a lot with my i-search and exit interview. They made me realize that I had less to talk about my best answer, but I was still knew that it was essential to answer my EQ.

(6) What suggestions do you have in order to improve the senior project?


At times, there seemed to be some mis-communication. I was really unclear about the purpose of creative expression, and it kid of seemed like it was all squished in the end. It would also be better if the I-search came earlier, because that focus and sense of direction really helped with everything else.

(7) Overall Senior Project Assessment

P

I think I deserve a P because I did all my work, trying to follow the rubric to the best of my ability. Although some assignments could have been better, I really applied my self to other components that I felt passionate about it.
