Two Hour Presentation Student Assesment

1) I would give myself a P
2) The one thing I think I did well on the 2 Hour Presentation was content because I was able to talk past the thirty minute requirement without repeating anything.
3) What I think I did well on this project was most likely the interviews. I asked very specific questions that pertained to my goal and got a lot of information out of them. What I could have done better on was the research checks. I had great sources but there many of the times when they were too informative and I should have spent more time finding some that directly concerned my eq.
4) EQ is "What is the best way for a Physical Therapist to help an athlete successfully return to basketball?" and my best answer for it is to instruct proper body conditioning.
5)  The last month of culminating events has not changed my answer for my EQ. Actually it has created a more solid basis and given more reasons why the answer I chose is the best one.
6) A suggestion I have for improving the senior project is maybe putting the 20 minute presentation closer to the two hour as the feeling you get from the 20 minute is still fresh in your mind.
7) For the overall senior project I would give myself a P+ because I have met with every requirement and that is what my current grade for it is,

Interpretive
The most important thing I got out of volunteering at Casa Colina would have to be seeing first hand how Physcial Therapists interacted with their patients. P.T.s instruct and guide patients through their rehabilitation process, but how well it goes is ultimately up to the patient's will and cooperation. So what I noticed during my time in service learning is that each P.T. had an "easy-to-talk-to" approach with their patients. They cultivate this relationship by showing sincere interest in their patients and casually talking with them while they peform their exercises. I saw that having this friendly attitude is important because its makes patients comfortable enough to speak up about problems they have about their health. This makes things easier for P.T.s because they won't have to probe their patients as much and they can gauge how well the rehab is progressing.

Applied
Service learning at Casa Colina has helped drive my senior project. My answer about instructing proper body conditioning was first discovered during my third interview. The other answers also fell into place as I observed how things worked in the rehabilitation clinic. Watching physical therapy in action allowed me to assess whether or not which answers were actually realistic.
