(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
- Cheerleading, Environmental Engineering, and Boxing: I'm part of a cheerleading team and can easily establish service learning since I know practically everyone there. I'm very interested in Environmental Engineering. My dad works in that field. Boxing is right next to the cheerleading place.
- I told him that he should check out Melvin R.'s senior presentation for environmental architecture and Joshua N.'s senior presentation for boxing.
(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.
- I have been part of a cheerleading team, and by continuing over summer, I can get them done quick.
- Not to do over 140 community service hours that aren't senior topic related.
(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
- I expect to see things that interest me or things that meet my interests.
- Refer back to when I suggested to view Melvin and Joshua's senior presentations. Unsure about a cheerleading one.
(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.
- "What is the best advice you could give me going to senior year?"
- Make sure you catch up on all your work before the month of February because that's the month where you will be bombarded by several projects at once with no break in between. Also, NC Rules comes back this year so be careful with that. In terms of independent component, just do an extra 60 hours of service learning since you have a lot of access to two of your senior topic of choice.
