2013 2-Hour Presentation Reflections

1. The 2-hour presentations I witnessed were:

  • Consultation Pharmacist - Gina T. 
  • Special Needs Behavioral Consultant - Clara A. 
  • Real Estate - Teo C. 
  • Dance Choreography - Valerie N. 
  • Film Directing - Amanda M. 
  • Scope Surgery - Taylor M. 
  • Deaf Culture - Rachel H. 
  • Independent Short Films - Yesenia R. 
  • Molecular Biology - Alissa M. 
  • Violin - Alexa C.
2. Watching all the seniors present their final two hour answered a lot more questions than I was expecting. I don't really have many questions although a few things still bother me. 
  • Is Senior Project worked on throughout the year? If so, how dominant is it throughout the year?
  • I saw a varying amount of activities during the presentations, is there a specific amount required?
  • How many mentors are necessary? Are we allowed to have more then one throughout the process?
3. In my eyes the most important part of Senior presentations is knowing your information. The difference in the people who completely knew the ins and outs of their topic was very easy to realize.  Although questions and activities are both interesting and important knowing your topic well contributes to both of these greatly. Going more in depth in information and research made a big difference in the quality of the Senior Projects. 

4. Even after seeing all the projects I still do not have my topic fully decided yet. I do however know that i would like to do something relating to psychology. Hopefully if I can find a mentor I will do it on criminal psychology because that is what I truly want to study in the end. As of now I do have connections to some people in the field of psychology but I would like to expand these next year through the Senior Project.
