At the end of my senior project, I asked myself a question. “If I could, would I do this over again?” I found the answer quite easily: yes. The senior project was a great way for me to explore topics I had always been curious about in a productive manner. While I learned many technical skills, like a proficiency in RapidResponse, I also learned many important people skills. The most important being, how to communicate with people not like yourself. Throughout this project I had to effectively communicate with people of varying ages and varying accents. While it was challenging at first, ultimately it was a very rewarding experience as I am sure I will only meet a more diverse group of people during my time at college. I can’t say too much went wrong in my senior project. The major change I had to make was done after realizing I was in over my head with the whole curriculum idea. I had to change the time of course from a whole year to an indefinite time. I realized I needed to leave the length of course up to the teacher, as it could take a varying time to complete my curriculum. My final product will be about 5 to 6 pages. I will attach the curriculum with exercises and project assignments for a certain lesson to exemplify my vision for how the course should be taught. I will be presenting my project on May 22nd from 6:30 to 6:45 as part of Group 4. I would like to thank Ms.Belcher for guiding me through the senior project process as well as Siva Velayudhan and Karthik Ravi for teaching me all I needed to know about RapidResponse and the Supply Chain. Again, I would like to give my strong recommendation in favor of doing a senior project. It really is quite a rewarding experience and provides the opportunity to delve deeper into something that interests you. Thank you for continuing on this journey with me, it really has been a blast.
