(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
- I am most proud of my senior project overall, because it is such a difficult topic to understand. Learning about gravitational waves and other physics concepts were very challenging to me, but I was able to turn them into layman terms. So, I am most proud of the fact that I learned, understood, and shared this topic with others.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
- Besides the final presentation, I have worked hard all year and I think I deserve a P/AE grade.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
- So many things wonderfully worked for me this year. I was able to find a very influential and intelligent mentor from Caltech, I managed to work with him and his colleagues after learning the physics. I am also proud that I could translate these hard concepts into layman terms.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
- Unfortunately, there were problems in my final presentation. I nervously rushed through my presentation and had a lot of time to cover after my activity was over. At home, when I rehearsed it, my presentation (Answers) was 40 minutes. Unfortunately I rushed through it during the actual thing. Another problem was that although I passed out the lasers after mentioning the cautions, I didn't take them back quickly afterwards because I was so shocked about the time I had left.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
- The senior project has been very influential to me, as I wanted to pursue physics before it. However, after working with scientists and learning how it is actually like in a lab, it might not be the thing for me. This experience has been very helpful so I saw how scientists collaborate with one another, and I learned the importance of teamwork. Although I applied to college as a potential physics major, this project has helped me seek another path in life.
