Blog #23: Final Lesson Reflection

Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project?

The aspect of my presentation I was most proud of was the fact that I was able to pull off conducting a small scale experiment on one unexpecting student while the others observed and I was able to explain it after. In the experiment I got Leslie Salazar to conform and say the wrong answer in front of the class just because she hear the other classmates say it. When I finally revealed how I manipulated her answers, I saw the entire class nod their head or say "ohhhh!" when they realized what I did and to have surprised then and impressed them really made me proud. I love the fact that I was able to get such an interested reaction out of them It made me super excited to continue.

Questions to Consider

What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?

I would give myself an AE because It was evident that I knew everything about my topic and was able to engage everyone in it, Im definitely proud of my performance.

On my Overall project, I would give myself an AE because all of my requirements were met and I also went beyond in doing through research and really well on components like presentations for the project.

What worked  for you?

Im so glad that all the research in this has allowed me to really become an expert in the topic and inspire me to continue to pursue it. It also gave me the resources I need for the future like a mentor to help guide me in continuing to work in Social psychology. The long presentations also helped make me more and more comfortable and skilled in teaching classes difficult concepts and even making it interesting to them.

What didn't work?

For me, I had a hard time smoothly citing my sources, mainly because I felt like research count required way too many sources so it was confusing what to do. I would have worked harder in trying to incorporating them better through my presentation so it seemed a lot more credible

Finding Value

The senior project has helped me decide my Major for San Francisco State University that I plan to attend next year. My independent component 1 class was actually credits transferable for my major, and It helped me now realize that this IS something I would love to pursue and what specific aspect I would like to, and how I AM capable of doing well in it. It was a great inspiration and motivation.
