__//Please complete the survey that follows. Your constructive feedback will be used to improve the program for future years!//__

1. Which of the following skill areas impacted you in a positive way as a result of completing a Senior Project.
 * Researching
 * Writing
 * Speaking
 * Technology
 * Use Organization
 * Time Management
 * Creativity
 * Problem Solving
 * I would say the skill areas that impacted me the most this year in the senior project would be problem solving because the whole road leading up to the completion of my project involved many problems and obstacles that I had to find my way around. ||

3. Which aspect of the Senior Project was the most difficult for you to complete? Explain.


 * The aspects of the Senior Project that were most difficult for me to complete would be getting all of the approvals necassary to actually complete my project. This related to number one when i said that problem solving was the skill i learned the most this year. Getting my grant and projects approved proved to be far more difficult than actually completing the project itself. ||

4. What affect did the Senior Project have on your:
 * employability skills
 * working independently
 * acting responsibly
 * responding to criticism and questions
 * being reliable
 * your college or post graduation preparation
 * your personal life
 * This project helped my employability skills by if I was ever interested in pursuing a career that required diving I would already be certified. I am looking into this in engineering. This project helped with the area of independent working by often I studied on my own and spent lots of time independently working on my senior project. Throughout the project I had to act responsibly because scuba diving is a serious activity and could always with failure to follow skills, injuries could occur. Also in my project I often responded to criticism and questions. I felt as if I was always reliable. Not only in the aspect of getting my work done and finishing the senior project but also as a dive partner to other divers I followed the skills and was a reliable dive partner. This project affected college by it could possibly become college credit if I put a little more time into it. The project had the biggest impact on my personal life because I plan to pursue scuba diving as a hobbie. Since I was not able to go to Mexico I plan to try to take a trip this summer. Diving is something I want to continue to pursue throughout my life. ||

5. Who was able to support you in your project: teachers, advisors, mentors, family members? How did these people support you? Were there times/tasks you needed help with that couldn't be provided by your support system?


 * The people that supported me the most in my project would be my family. Also Ms Knight was always there and helped me out and listened to how I felt. I would like to thank her. These people supported me by my family always helped me around the problems I encountered and they traveled with me to the areas where I would dive to achieve my certificate. Ms Knight always talked with me and helped me stay caught up. Also my mentor always helped me throughout the project. No there were never any times that I couldnt be helped because my parents were along with me the whole time. ||

6. How do you feel about the quality of your completed Senior Project? Explain.


 * I feel good. I am glad to have it completed and finished and it feels good to have the stress of finishing off my back. This is something I plan to keep using. ||
