Blog 24 - Last Presentation Reflection

I'm FREE!

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
What I am most proud of my presentation is that I did not choke as much as I thought I would. Plus, I thought I would do much worse than I originally thought. I thought of myself messing up or not meeting time, but that was not the case. My information was solid and I was able to present a satisfying presentation

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

P, because I need the minimum requirements and did not strive higher than what was expected of me. 

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

P, again. I would asses myself with a P because I did not go above and beyond, I did what was required. 

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

What worked for my senior project was actually the notebook. I knew I had information on it and instead of searching for it online, I refereed back to my notebook. I did not think I would use it as much as I did.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?

There wasn't much that did not work for my in my senior project, just I would have done a little more during my presentation. Such as having better slides, more pleasing or having props to show the class. More interactive. 
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

Senior project actually helped my confidence in presenting. I used to be very shy, and have more of a trembling, freaking out affect. But now, its better. I was pretty comfortable in presenting and I was pretty proud.

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

EQ: What qualities can an architect incorporate into a design to evoke a desired psychological effect? My 3 answers are: 1) creativity, 2) health, and 3) culture and history. My best answer would probably be answer one. Because architecture involves many types of engineering and science, it is always advancing. It can incorporate a lot more to make you feel and think certain ways. 

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

The process I took to arrive at my answer would be countless google searching and using my mentor as a reference and guidance to which direction I should take. 

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

Problems I faced was how I should go about finding a suitable question that I would want to pursue myself. I resolved this by reading articles that had to do about my topic.  

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

One of the important sources I used was my mentor. He gave me a lot of advice. Another source I used was my summer school teacher. His class was important because it talked about the history of architecture and its evolution and that is actually part of one of my answers.
