Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement.
 
What I am most proud of is, that I learned so much from a subject that I knew nothing of. I had a slight interesting in microbiology, but I learned so much about things that are common sense in the science community. The fact that I could carry a conversation with Dr. Collisson, understand a lecture meant for 4 graduate students, and read a lab report from her students, is something that has made me so proud; I've learned so much.
(2) Questions to Consider

I think I deserve a P+  because I met my speaking time, and I provided information, and the class seemed to understand it, in the activities. When I walked around to look for understanding, everyone seemed to understand what I had just explained
b
In my overall senior project I think I deserve a P/AE, I managed to turn in all my components, I researched on a very difficult topic, and had extended research, that I just never managed to margin note. I managed to see connections in my Independent Component, that I think is not possible with that extensive research that I did. I interviewed extra people about infectious outbreaks they had experienced but I never turned them in. I managed to know numerous infectious diseases, their symptoms and their treatment.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
 
I think what really worked for me, was doing all the research. If I had enough time to work on more research I would have done so. I don't think there ever was an ending to the knowledge I could have acquired to learn about Infectious Diseases. 
(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?
 
What didn't work for me was the 2nd Independent Component, I barely made my hours, and I couldn't find another way to do another independent component. I think what could have worked for me better is doing an art based project, defining your topic artistically.
(5) Finding Value
I have learned that I do need a lot to learn about Microbiology, and that the Infectious Disease area is hard to get into. Searching for my service learning and for a Microbiology class early in the game proved that.
