(1) Positive Statement
In the entirety of my senior project, I'm so, so immensely proud of all that I've been able to learn throughout the course of the year. I feel that without the constant presence of the senior project in my life, my final year at I-Poly would have been completely different; and there's a great chance that my future would be entirely different, as well. I'm very proud of the skills I honed throughout the year, and the knowledge I gained in regards to video game design. I feel that in my presentation, I was very well-versed and showcased the insight and knowledge I gained throughout the year, all of which I can attribute to hours of research, game-making, and time spent at my mentorship. I'm very proud and happy to be able to share copious information about something that I'm truly passionate about to my fellow classmates, and proud in that I felt I did it well.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
AE. I think I did a good job in that I met time, captured audience attention, I was very clear and understandable, and help the audience better understand my topic as a whole. One Junior even approached me to tell me that I helped him immensely in deciding what topic he should pursue for his senior project-- he's looking forward to pursuing game design now.
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
I feel that I did a good job on the senior project overall-- but I think I deserve a P. I did all that the senior project ever asked of me, but I never did anything that I believe to be spectacular. I had a wonderful time in my mentorship and project, but I don't think that means I should get a higher grade.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Firstly, I'm about 99% sure my project got me into college, and into the major I wanted to pursue so badly. Having a mentorship at my dream school was amazing, and I'm so glad the project gave me the opportunity to learn more about my topic from experts and other students.
The requirements of the project worked very well for me. What was expected of me, including research checks, the working bibliography, and more was very helpful in allowing me to learn more about my topic.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
If anything, I wish I had started my Independent Components more immediately. I feel that I did a good job on them, but I really think I could've done an amazing job (especially in creating a video game itself in my second component) if I had spent more time working on it. I understand that at the time, I was very busy, but I feel I could've made more time on my part somehow. That is one thing I wish I could re-do.
(5) Finding Value
I know I've said it already, but I'm very positive that my senior project and mentorship is one of the main reasons I've been accepted to my dream college, USC. I was lucky enough to be accepted into the School of Cinematic Arts for Interactive Entertainment. In other words, I'll be spending my next four years of education knee-deep in creating video games. And I can't be happier with the result. I'm so immensely grateful to have done this project and completed all the opportunities associated with it. My project has been very meaningful to me, and changed my future for the better.
