 * < Making Great Progress ||

2. How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?


 * The ways that I am working effectively on this project are I am getting everything that I need to get done, done and I am also doing a good job on everything. For example I have my presentation started and will be finished shortly and I also have my binder done for the most part. I just have a few things to put in here and there but everything in my senior project is going along great and I feel I have done a great job on my project. The times when I am working effectively on my project is anytime that I work on it. When i work on it I always do my best and get things done. If I had the last month to do over again I dont think that I would do anything differently. If I did have to choose something to do differently it would probably be getting my binder done sooner so that I would have nothing to worry about. ||

3. What kinds of decisions have you found yourself making recently? Have they been good decisions? What are you learning about how you make decisions and what kind of effect these decisions have on your learning?


 * The decisions that I have found myself making recently are who to invite to my presentaion and also what photos to put in my slideshow. Yes I believe that they are good decisions. I am going to invite lots of people to show them my project and how much I learned and what a great expierence it was. I am already looking at scuba diving in the future becuase now I see that it is one of my interest not only as a hobby but also as a future career in engineering. From making these decisions I am learning how to make great presentations and also more about ways to do things. These decisions will effect my life down the road because they are things I will be doing again soon. ||

4. What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc?


 * The things that I learned about myself are that I enjoy scuba diving. This is probably the biggest thing that I learned. I found that it is definately something that I want to pursue down the road as not only a hobby but also a career. I am also trying to plan another dive in Mexico soon. ||

5. What did you learn about your topic/subjects that you didn’t know before? What connections among the various things you have studied and researched do you see? Have you had any “aha” moments? What were they and how did they affect you?


 * Now that I have been done with my project since february I have not really learned anything new, but over the course of my project I have learned so much about scuba diving and also the history. It has been fun. I have saw many connections as I have went as far as the physical aspect of scuba diving. I have not really had any "aha" moments recently. ||

6. How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project?


 * I have used my mentors and advisors feedback by first there suggestion was to stay organized and caught up. This has really helped me because I am organized and I am getting the things done that I am supposed to. I have implemented there suggestions into my project by staying caught up and getting the things done for my project and presentation that I need to. ||
