__//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 creativity and time management have had an impact on me due to this senior project. ||

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


 * The research paper was probably the hardest part. This is because I am not very good in this area because I have a hard time elaborating on things, which made it difficult to meet the page requirement. ||

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 didn't really help my employability skills very much. My mentor would just show me how to do something, then I would get to work on it, which affected my independent working skills more. The presentation affected my ability to respond to questions, because i had to come up with the answer right there without much time to think about it. It affected my college preparation and personal life because I learned that I could build rods on my down time in college and in the future, then sell them to make some extra cash. ||

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?


 * My family and Mr. Highstreet really supported me throughout the whole process by encouraging me when I would get frustrated while working on my rod. Also, Mr. Highstreet let me borrow a lot of his rod building materials to help me, and offered his time to help me personaly with some parts of the building process. ||

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


 * I feel that the outcome of my senior project was better than i thought it would be. After meeting with my mentor a few times I learned that there are so many things you can do to make rod look better and sell for more. I have had a lot of compliments on both my rods, and a couple people even offered to by the rods. ||
