Blog 24 - Last Presentation Reflection

And slowly this year is coming to an end with senior presentations. 

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

• I noticed I talked more clearly than what I expected. I didn't say "umm's ,likes,or uhh's" and if I did it was maybe only a couple times. I also am proud of how well my activities flowed and the students were actually really excited and happy to participate in them and share out their ideas. 

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

• I met time requirements, the students were engaged, my presentation flowed very well, I talked very clear and confident, and had lots of research over all. 

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

• I would give myself this assessment because I did all of my blogs and interviews on time, and never missed a deadline. Not only that I am now going to major in Business Management in general because my project was able to show me that you need certain skills to be a manager and I believe I have those skills and am ready to help open businesses. 

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

• Having a mentor I could depend on because they are the biggest reason why I had so much research to base my project off of. Ms. Bernal also allowed me to have lots of experience by taking me to different events and letting me work and mentor at the restaurant. 

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?

• Maybe not waited last minute to finish my power point. It came out fine, but I had n o sleep because I procrastinated to much. Not any big issues I came across.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

• As I said before, because I got a lot of experience and information regarding R.B.M I am going to attend Riverside CC to get a head start on my G.E's and soon start taking classes for management. It also gave me experience I will be able to use throughout my life. I'm so happy all this work actually paid off. 

Blog 18 - Answer 2

Don't do this. Actually talk to each other. 

                                                          

• 1.  What is your EQ?
• How can a restaurant manager ensure a profit while maintaining customer satisfaction?
• 2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
• In order for a restaurant manager ensure profit while maintaining customer satisfaction, a manager needs to learn how to take control over the restaurant and be a leader. 
• 3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
• In order for a restaurant manager to ensure a profit while maintaining customer satisfaction they need to know how to communicate because when you communicate you get a better understanding of what your customer wants. 
• 4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
• Communication is important because it's an everyday thing we apply, but in business it's important to communicate because it allows us to share information between one another making sure the customer gets everything they want.
• You don't just want to communicate with your customers, but you want to make sure you communicate with everyone in order for more people to know about your business.
• Communication is also advertisement, and advertisement is important if you want new customers to give you profit. 
• 5.  What printed source best supports your answer?
• "Importance of Good Communication in Business" by Kristie Lorette 
• 6.  What other source supports your answer?
• "The Importance of Communication in Business" by April Klazema 
• 7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.
• When you communicate your thoughts between you and your customers or staff you build more of a bond with them because you are giving them an opportunity to get all their thoughts across and have a better relationship. Communication could probably be a priority key to having success in the restaurant/business industry. 

Lesson 2 Reflection

Done with Lesson 2

                      

                           

• What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
• I am proud that people got engaged by my hook. But not only that, they participated well when told to. I felt I had good control over the classroom and I had their attention. Like, they weren't "bored" you can say.
•  What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
• AE
•    Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
• Because I feel I met all the "P standards". I presented, did my activity, and engaged the audience, but i also did more research that showed in my presentation because I did over 20  min. I also believed I was well prepared by thoroughly explaining what I had to say

• 3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
• Having a power point. It worked well because I had something to refer back to and allowed me to give everyone else more accurate information. Time was also another factor. I was able to meet time and go above the 20 expected
• 
  4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
• Practiced more to try to get rid of all the "likes, and umms" I used.
• 5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
• I believe my second answer can be prices. You have to make sure you price everything at a reasonable amount because if you over price your food, your customers can simply find somewhere else to go eat the same thing.

Blog 11 - Lesson 1 Reflection

Done with lesson 1, now on to the next one. 

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

• I am proud that I had a lot to say. I didn't think I would make time, but instead I was told to hurry and wrap it up. I wasn't able to finish all I wanted to say, but I feel that's a plus on one side because next time I will be given more time to explain everything I wasn't able to get to. Not only that but I felt I grabbed the audiences attention while I was presenting. Everyone seemed to like my hook so that was a plus. 

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

• I would give myself at least a "P" because I feel I met all requirements in order to receive a P. I had research and was able to sight an article while explaining my mentor ship and what not. I was also able to back up my research with person examples that have happened in the restaurant where I mentor. 

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

•  Instead of written by out sentences for me to reference back to, have more pictures that can help me remember what topics I need to address. I would also space my time out better so I can actually talk about everything on my board. Another thing I believe I could have done better is also sight more articles, but also pull information from them and present it to the class.
