Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
Making presentation time is a huge part since a lot of people struggled with it. Also it's nice to have so much knowledge on my topic from my research
(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

AE       P          AP       CR       NC
P- Did all requirements at a above satisfactory level
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project?Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

AE       P          AP       CR       NC
Low P
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
The researching part really gave me the most of the project however maybe just require a smaller quantity but higher quality sources. Also volunteering is great because I  got to experience the actual profession hands on.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project? Procrastination and senoritis. If I could go back I wish I could motivate myself better.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
Senior Project really helped my decided what I wanted to do in life. It kind of forced everyone to think about what could be a possible future career. Although I may not do marketing, It has gave me experience to know what I want and don't want to do. Marketing information will still be helpful for a business and I already know a lot. This information will be retained in the future and improved on.

Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?
What is the best way a business can market itself to consumers successfully?
2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Being able to turn your company into a "love mark", so that you build customers with loyalty and love for your brand/business.
3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Being able to budget your marketing/advertising as efficiently as possible
4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
-Starting businesses need a low cost way to began advertising
-Learning how to take your company to a next level requires better promotion
-People don't know how much choices they have when it comes to marketing
5.  What printed source best supports your answer?
I have many online sources that have gone over 10+ choices you have to market yourself.
6.  What other source supports your answer?
All online sources, but multiple sources combined is what gives all the details needed.
7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.
There are a lot of different marketing/advertising tactics you can take. The biggest question is whether to go with traditional marketing which can vary from posters to commercials. The new big and cost efficient way is to advertise through social media. 

Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why? I would be most proud of my presentation and making time. I felt like it went smooth meaning I didn't speak too fast or too slow and got in a lot of information.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract. 
I don't know where that document is but Rivas told me that I had completed what was asked of me so I at least deserve a P. But the Prezi took a little extra work and the presentation went smooth with good quality so I think a AE would be nice.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
I think what worked the best is my book source. I think it gave me a different but really important source. Many top brands or people with marketing careers have read the version I read or possibly the older version, which explains why my mentor has it.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2? I think anything major was a problem. The only thing that I might have forgot was to put my EQ on every slide. But I think no one really reads it after the first time, so maybe re mentioning and rewriting it at the end of my presentation would work. Some people also cited their sources in the presentation, I did mention mine verbally but not directly source it. Again I feel like it's stupid to show people a link or book citation, because to the audience it has no significance. I do feel mentioning verbally is good though just not a visual link.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be? I'll probably go over how to market if you're not lucky enough to work with a marketing firm.

Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?What I'm most proud of is that I finished presenting and made it well over 8 minutes. I felt like I had a lot of useful information that didn't bore the audience too much, because marketing terms are easy to understand compared to other topics.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract. If I had to assess myself, I would give myself a solid P because I filled what was required from the contract. The main reason I would not give myself an AE is because I felt I could of displayed my information better with printed out graphs or pictures I drew on the Whiteboard. Besides being a little nervous for some reason, I felt like I did a good job and had a lot of information to share in a clear way. When we give lesson 2 and can use a power point, I feel I will flow better with having technology in my hand.3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2? If I could go back and change something, I would change the way I displayed things, as mentioned in above. But knowing this and knowing that we'll be able to use a power point next time, I feel like I will be able to have a smoother presentation overall.
