Reflection

Paper Reflection: a.) I am happy with my paper because...

I throughly reasearched my topic, as well as took all constroctive critisim to heart. I wrote a paper that is both informative and creative, and includes all analysis, both from my own head and from my sources. I feel as thgouh it is a very good blend of both my own thoughts and critical analysis of experts.

b.) I wish I would have changed...about my process because...

I wish I would have changed my orgainzation methods and been more put-together about my process because it would have made my life a lot easier if I knew exactly where everything was and I had everything I needed in on time. Also, I wish that my first rough draft was better cited, all my paraphrases were correctley cited, because that would have made my life a lot easier for me, I would not have had to go back and correct so much.

c.) I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should... to make their lives easier and develop a quality research paper.

I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should do every step and stay on top of your paper, make sure you are editing every night and staying on top of the wiki so you know what you must do for each class. Remember that no one is checking up on you to make sure that everything is completly finished, and much of what your fianl product is done individually. Doing these things will 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...because... OR change my habits of...because...

I know I must continue my habits of analysis and through reaserch, one thing I most certainly didi not do was slack on my reaserch. I made sure everything was correct and backed up by several sources. I need to change my organization methods, making sure that in the future I stay up on everything and not slack off, espically with the peer edits and in-document citing.

My project of //Product Development// was to create an movie for Mr. Alexander and my audience because I saw a need for a visual shoing of how socail influence effects high school students [Select either of the two following asterisked sentences for whichever circumstances apply to me.]


 * I believe I have yet to received a response from Mr. Alexander because my project cannot be exported to a flash drive and therefore he has not seen it yet. Since a response has not yet been rendered by Mr. Alexander I will characterize the reaction I think I will recieve as a good one, becasue I think th e movie I made is weel-done, and is informative as well as interesting and applicible to a classroom setting

B.) I am happy with my project because I think it is well done, complete, includes all elements of my thesis statement and is conhesive and interesting

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. I was hard to put together my kmovie, because I would only film durng certain parts of the day, and because of this, I was stress because I thought I didn't have enough footage to complete my movie. However, because I planned exactly what ihad to do, it became to eaiser.

D.) Explain why planning/organizing with foresight is an essential element for success as it pertains to this course. If I didn't plan or organize my project, I would have gotten very far behind and it would have caused me grief and stress because I wouldn't have goten done in time, my porject would be sub-par I would have been unhappy with my final product

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. Speaking becasue it is essential to my presentation, reading because it is essentail to reaserch, listening becasue it is essential to class

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 had to know how to nagivate Final Cut Express HD, which is a movie making program and I learned a lot more about the program by making this project.

G.) I wish I would have changed. my script making process about my process regarding the project because it would have made my interview questions go a lot smoother

H.) I recommend to all future seniors of Senior Seminar that they should plan ahead exactly what you want to do to make their lives easier and develop an acceptable quality course project.

I have changed my habits of time managment from when I worked on my paper to practicing the habits of better time management, which have helped me progress with my project since I can demonstrate that I have completed my movie scrpit and rough outline
