Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection

1) Positive Statement

I was most proud of going above and beyond in time because that was one thing that when practicing was very very hard. Also that I had a nice powerpoint


(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P+          AP       CR       NC

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

My lessons overall I thought went very well. Also my independent components & mentorship were very interesting and useful.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

Better time management, I frequently "bit off more than I could chew."

(5) Finding Value

This made my understanding of computers much greater which will help with any profession and also senior project taught me the difficulty of juggling a full time schedule and gave me techniques that I can use to handle the schedule.

Interpretive

• What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

        The most important thing I gained was the knowledge that although I enjoy programming and it may work for a part time job, I do not wish to be a programmer for a profession. Also there is no way to truely understand programming as a topic if I don't do it myself and this mentorship gave me that oppertunity.

 Applied

• How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

       Once again. There is no way to truly understand code and programming and what goes into it without experiencing it myself and working at it and learning the goods and the bads. To understand what needs to go into a program, or what can be put into a program, I need to understand what is possible and what really isn't.
