Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?


That I made time! I spent the whole weekend before thinking I wouldn't and it's kept me up for so long.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE       P          AP       CR       NC

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


Using the database from Cal Poly Pomona. It's really helped me give a lot of legitimate sources for my answers and arguments.

(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?




To be honest, I would change my topic entirely to college admissions. I feel like I would have a better time because I feel myself to be more passionate about that. But, if I had stuck with the topic of music store operations, I would've started my research on business operations rather than instrument maintenance instead.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples

Senior project has pretty much whipped me into shape so I can be ready for long term projects similar to senior project. In addition, it has also trained me in researching, internships, and contacting establishments (as I have done in order to get supplies for my activities). This would be very helpful in business-type settings.

Interpretive

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

From this experience, most importantly, I had received an up-close look into the workings of a retail music store. There's reading about it, and then there's actually going through the experience and procedures. It's hard to explain, but it's just a completely different feeling.

Applied

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

Being able to be present inside a music store on the other side (the seller side) has been an enlightening opportunity in that I was able to see the principles I have read about in my research at work. It showed me the immediate impacts of certain behaviors and actions as detailed upon by my research, which provided to me further support to my three answers for my EQ.
