 Day #14

Tuesday- May 24rd

Hours Logged- 4 Hours

Project Total- 58 hours

Time- 8:25


Today marked the completion of my academic concentration and my senior project. I finished the final parts of my trifold once I got a new roll of tape. I also met with Ryan for an interview about my time as a Proctor student which included some highlights on my concentration study over my upperclassmen years. I spent most of the afternoon helping the mountain classroom group clean all of their gear out and had a great time doing so. It was a pretty long two weeks working on this project, but I couldn’t be more proud of the work that I have done. My plan for tomorrow is to relax and get all of my papers officially signed. I can’t wait to present my work one final time at express fest tomorrow.

Day #3

  Day #3 Wednesday-May 11th Hours Logged- 6 hours  Project total- 19.5 hours Time- 9:45 Today I worked on my paper and my annotated bibliography. This morning I was worried about filling my 55 hour time requirement for my full project so I spent some time considering ways I could add some more depth to my work period. I ended up finding a couple of podcasts about food insecurity in modern America and listened to them. I also finished section 3, 4, and 5 of my paper and completed citing all of my sources in noodletools and annotating them. This puts me a little ahead of schedule for the week which is a good thing. I met with Kristen Nesbitt in the evening to go over my paper which helped me greatly. With the help of Kristen and Erik I had a very full study hall of google docs comments on my paper. I think my paper is about 99% completed, so tomorrow my focus will shift towards my presentation for the upcoming chapel night.

Week #2 Reflection

  Colin Shaver Weekly Reflection Total Week #2 Hours= 50 Hours Week #2 of Academic Concentration/Senior Project Work!   This week was not as much of a learning week as it was a presenting my learning week. Although, I did gain some new knowledge around the art of public demonstration. I spent the first part of the week presenting my research, process, and project to the Proctor community through a class presentation to Culture and Conflict, as well as an open Chapel Night talk along side Jess Stanton. I really enjoyed this weeks events compared to last week because I was more involved with campus. Towards the end of the week, my focus shifted for reflection and conclusion as I began working on my narrative reflection and my trifold for Express Fest. I liked what I did this week because after being cooped up for so long in the library last week, I was finally able to present my findings and interact with people who were willing to learn. Everything this week happened just as ...

Day #5

  Day #5 Friday- May 13th Hours Logged- 3 hours Project total- 27.5 Time- 10:45 Today I accomplished my goal of spending more time working outside. I worked outside under the big tree between slocomb and the wood/metal working shop. I was only there for about 45 minutes due to the heat and bugs, but that short period of time was still enjoyable. I finished up my presentation plan and started accumulating pictures and screenshots from articles to add some intriguing detail to the project. I also worked on putting together the first few slides. For this presentation my goal is to not rely on a script because at this point in my project I believe I am knowledgeable enough on the issue that I should be able to speak from the brain with a few talking points for each slide. This means that my visual presentation will have little to no words written by me. I think this goal will help me grow a little bit as a public speaker and help me connect with my audience instead of looking down at...
