Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement:
     I am most proud of my Block Presentation because I feel like I did really well. There quite a few people who approached me after my presentation to express how much they enjoyed it; one junior even asked for a referral for a mentor since her topic next year will also do something with law.

(2) Questions to Consider:
     (a)   AE
     (b)   P+

(3) What worked for me in the senior project is that I am more educated on my topic. I have always been curious about law, and doing a nine month project about it satisfied that curiosity. It was never a problem for me to go into my mentor's office, which is just a seven minute drive from iPoly, and ask my mentor or any other attorney any questions I might have that.

(4) If I had a time machine, I would go back and find more research. I already had a sufficient amount of research, but I still found myself looking for more information when creating my activities and power point. Another thing I would change would be slowing down when I talked during my Block Presentation. If I noticed I was talking too fast and Edwards commented on my time, I am pretty sure the audience also noticed and I am worried some people might not have truly understood the lesson.

(5) The senior project has been helpful in knowing more about the professional side of the world. Working with professionals has taught me to carry myself and appropriately approach a problem in such a way that does not offend a potential client (in any business), colleague, or competitor. For example, when I went in for mentorship, I had to wear professional attire. Talking with other associates at my mentor's office, I had to be courteous and clear with what I wanted to say, since they are on a time restriction.
