2 Hour Presentation Reflection

PART I: Two-Hour Presentation
Two-Hour Presentation Student Assessment

(1) What assessment would you give yourself?

Why?
I feel like I worked very hard on my two hour presentation and all of the preparation showed throughout the presentation. From the way the room was decorated, to the activities, I was prepared for any mishap. Also, I feel like I connected to my audience and I really got them to appreciate and understand what I was talking about. I feel as if the activities, especially the first one, went very well and the audience members left the room with a good understanding of concept. Upon leaving the two hour presentation, most people in the audience came up to me telling me how good of a job that I did and that it was the best 2-hour that they saw that week.
 
(2) What is one thing you think you did well in the two-hour and why?
I think that all of my activities were well received by the audience. Also, I felt like even though my topic wasn't extremely interesting to the audience they stayed engaged throughout the presentation. Not once did I see that people were dozing off, which was really nice.

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 feel that on my overall senior project I did a lot of things well and of course there are a few things that I wish I could go back and re-do.  What I did well on was really living and breathing my senior topic. It's very evident to everyone how passionate I am about my topic and how hard I've worked on the yearbook this year despite the mishaps. I feel that I could have worked harder to meet my deadlines on time. It seemed that most of the bad grades that I received this year are because of the minor details such as not turning things in at the right time and things like that.


(4) What is your EQ and what is the best answer to your EQ?
My EQ is "What is the key aspect in creating a notable yearbook design?" and my best answer is concept. Concept is my best answer because you need a great concept to relate to your school, determine coverage and cohesiveness of the book and to give a design PURPOSE. Without concept, you're just looking at boxes on a page. Concept is what takes a yearbook to the next level and in iPoly's case, that is the award winning calibur.


(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 was still on the fence about my answer until the I-Search. Really doing the I-Search helped me solidify my answer and determine why it is so important in creating a notable yearbook design. Then in turn, the I-Search helped me with my exit and the exit helped me with my two-hour.

(6) What suggestions do you have in order to improve the senior project?
I feel as if the timing of some of the components was a bit off at times. In example, one week we had like four components due and the work load was insane.  I feel like the creative expression could probably be done right after winter break.
