Blog 10: Self Reflection

1. How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why?  P, AP, CR, or NC
With my senior project, thus far, I think I am doing fairly well. Personally, I believe I am doing AE work for various reasons. First off, my research has been extensive and relevant, I have had great interviews (in total 4), and have turned in everything on time (except one interview deadline), all even though I switched my topics twice this year. Also, I have received AEs and Ps on all my work in reference to my senior project thus far.
2. What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?
One thing in particular that I believe I have done well on is my research. I have learned so much from my research in the past couple months from various sources such as websites, news articles, books, and interviews. Personally I believe that the most important part of the senior project is the research because it is the basis for all of the other components and it is a part that I believe I have excelled at. 
3. What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?  
One thing I would like to improve on would be my service learning. I really would like to have more hours not only for a better grade, but also because I want to gain more experience on my topic. So far I only have 8 hours working at the Poly Post newspaper, however, I plan to gain more hours through doing service learning with the Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper and going with her to seek stories during winter break such as at basketball games and such for the paper's website. Not only will this help me in terms of hours, but also in getting out of the office type work that is required in journalism and getting myself immersed in the action of journalism; getting stories on the 'streets'.
