Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

I am most proud of the information I provided my class because they seemed very interested in it and were actually trying to comprehend the activity to help apply it to their own lives.


(2) Questions to Consider

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

AE    

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

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
I got a lot of valuable information and I truly appreciate the fact that I was able to take a college class and met such an inspiring professor who was of great help towards my project.

(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?
I would have tried to get my thoughts more collected because there was still so much I wanted to talk about but when I got up to it I wasn't sure what I could say.
(5) Finding Value

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

My senior project has helped me gain knowledge on health and helped me improve my own health and self discovery of food. When I took my nutrition course I learned how to read nutrition labels accurately and which ingredients would benefit me the most. Also, my journey through the WHOLE 30M challenge helped me a lot in getting a new relationship with food and realizing how sacred it is.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
      I am very proud of the information I gathered, I feel like the students really paid attention to what I was saying when I explained the importance of the macros. Plenty of students, I can think of at least 9, complimented me in my activity, they kept telling me I was "changing lives" and "you should keep this activity because it's actually useful" which made me giddy inside knowing that people actually benefited from my presentation and topic.

2. What assessment would you give yourself and why?

       P+/AE. My presentation connected to the students on a level people have yet to overcome, learning about nursing and sports is all very interesting but I feel that my topic actually connects to every student as an individual. I was able to help them realize what their very OWN dietary needs should be and that is a way to help them become more health conscious. The activity provided them with a lot of useful information that can be applied to their everyday lives and I gave a lot of real life examples of foods in order to help them ease into the transition of using cleaner ingredients when cooking in order for them to still get the chance to eat their favorite foods.

     According to the Lesson 2 rubric, I met all of the P requirements and feel that I went above and beyond with the information I provided for the students, the positive feedback justified the fact that it was a good activity.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
My activity worked really well and I believe that the worksheet was very hands on and easy to comprehend because of the examples I provided.

4. If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I would have added more pictures to my slides? I personally like a more clean look to a PowerPoint but the feedback I got from the students was that they wished there were more visuals so next time I will be sure it's first on my to do list.

What do you think your answer #2 is going to be? 
 Activity level, how to add in cardio and strength training in order to burn the fat.
