// Project Evaluation // All questions are to be typed and answered as thoroughly as possible. The project evaluation is due either Tuesday, December 8th (Day 1) or Wednesday, December 9th (Day 2). I. A) List the five goals from your formal proposal.  One goal of my project is to explain… lacrosse and it influences A second goal of my project is to prepare…my power point The third goal of my project is to communicate… I emailed Mr. Rodoff about my topic. A fourth goal I plan is to conclude… finish typing my paper A final goal of my project is to interpret… lacrosse and its effects of good academics, good character and promoting a healthy lifestyle  B) Prove that you met each of these goals or thoroughly explain why you I can prove I met with my mentor because I have a completed paper, project and PowerPoint. Also because I had my paper edited and I met with him weekly and emailed Mr. Rodoff in between. Finally because I am going to present for 20 minutes on how lacrosse promotes a healthy, active and positive life. II.  What did you seek for advice on this project? Did you improve at asking for feedback? I seek advice from teammates of mine during meetings and little lacrosse practices. Also Mr. Mac helped me with editing my paper. Secondly I did a lot of background research plus my knowledge already since I have played lacrosse since 3rd grade. III. Describe any risks you took in order to complete this project. Be sure to consider emotional, intellectual or physical challenges. One risk I took was pushing work off over Thanksgiving break and I had a lot to do ever since we got back and it’s been a time crunch. But I am done and ready to turn in, I just need to practice my PowerPoint a little more and I should be good to go. I am a procrastinator and need to cut that habit and get ahead instead of pushing stuff off until the night before. IV.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;"> List and describe three personal satisfactions you have gained from doing this project. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">One positive thing I have gained from this project is independence and not depending on someone else to help me. I pretty much made up my dates to do stuff by along with the ones the teacher gave me I was solely on my own. Secondly I learned how to ask for help when I need it for advice on grammar or just to simply re-word something in my paper. My final thing I learned is to not procrastinate and to get ahead instead of falling behind. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">V.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">Explain two problems you encountered and how you solved them. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">One thing I encountered was time management, I am bad with planning ahead the goals did help me along with getting stuff done and completed on time but still I am a huge procrastinator. My second problem was writing skills because English is not my best subject and I do not like writing very much and I think I lack in writing skills. I solved this problem by having Mr. Mac my mentor, Helen my classmate and my aunt read my paper this helped me bring my paper further along and sound more professional. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">VI.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">What did you learn about managing your time? <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">I learned to manage my time by planning ahead and do a little each night so when one big things do you have majority of it done and don’t have to pull and all-nighter. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">VII.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">What did you learn about managing your level of stress? <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">I learned how to manage my stress by maybe taking it out on my Mom sometimes but in the end I just didn’t freak out and I just learned to suck it up if I was the one to let it go. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">VIII.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;"> If you could do the same project over again, what would you do differently? <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">If I could do one thing differently I would have taken Mr. Mac’s advice and done like a play day for lacrosse and get more involved and have better results than just my survey asking four questions. <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">IX.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">Grade yourself based on the stated goals of the course - to encourage higher order thinking skills such as application of knowledge, analysis of information, creativity and the ability to make strong evaluative judgments. What grade do you deserve and why? <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 11pt; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">I would give myself a “B” because I think in the beginning I was kind of being too relaxed and letting my work pile up. But I learned quickly that this class was serious and I only had so many classes to complete my entire project, now that it is almost the end I learned a lot from my mentor and my peers on how to manage my time better and not procrastinate. But on the other hand I completed what needed to be done and I think I would deserve this grade; my only thing I am still worried about is the “presentation” part. I do not like presenting in front of the class but I will have to get over it.
