Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
Of my block presentation I am most proud of eventually getting comfortable enough to talk for so long in front of the class. Why? In past presentations I did on my own I didn't do very well, but eventually for this one I was able to present sucessfully. With my senior project I am most proud of being able to catch up, even when late, assignments.

(2) Questions to Consider

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
What worked was the research. Despite many of us complaining about research count, it helped me drastically keep important info at hand.

(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?
Having told myself to work on everything on time instead of focusing on other unimportant things.
(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?
I want to still continue on my chemistry career, but I still hope to begin on forensic sciences, and I believe studying criminology gave me a lot of background. It has also helped me learn how to speak to people I need to speak to, whether I want to or not.

Interpretive

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

• Being able to experience the force of the law firsthand. Sometimes things you see in movies and shows seem to be surreal and even sometimes unbelievable, but when personally being able to see these cases actually happen it puts it under a whole different perspective. It has made me open my eyes that these events actually happen

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

• Drugs are ever occurring in our society, so of course they continue to happen in the courts of law. Being able to get the opinion of a professional who sees these drug cases first hand gave me a perspective I would have never of gotten alone. They have experienced many things affected by drugs whether it was murder, rape, or theft they knew that regardless, drugs has had an effect on our society which helped me keep an unbiased view between legalization and an increasing of penalties.
