Blog 23: Helping 2013


Who did you interview: Ana Soto
What day and time: April 26th, at 4:00 pm
Content:   You will be asking an assigned junior some questions and giving them feedback regarding their senior project ideas.  It is your job to document the experience on the blog.  
(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
  • "The only idea I have so far is to do my project on baking. Although it's not a for sure thing yet because I'm trying to see if I come up with anything else."
  • "You're not the first to do baking and I'm pretty sure that about two people are doing it this year, so it can be done, it sounds like an interesting topic.
(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
  • "If I do baking, I have thought about getting my hours with a family friend who happens to bake for a living. But I'm not sure if that works since it's not an actual class. It would just be him teaching me everything he can."
  •  "I'm sure that as long as he is a professional that it should be fine."
(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
  • "I am hoping to get more ideas on the presentation itself. In other words, seeing as many things as I can that can take up the presentation time requirement. In addition to getting more ideas of the kinds of projects I can so my project on."
  • "yeah just pay attention because some presentations you see and think are a good idea you might want to do for yours."
(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.
  • "So far, my only question is based off of what I answered in question #2. Would that work or do I have to go to an actual class?"
  • "I'm not sure just if he is a professional you should  be fine."
