Positive Statment:
From my senior presentation, I am most proud of being able to show how much knowledge I have acquired throughout the 9 months of work and research put into the project. It was great being able to just talk about all that I have learned in a clear and concise manner to both my class mates and underclassmen and showing them what they are going to have to go through their next year.
Questions To consider:
1. I would give myself a P on my presentation
2. On my senior project I would give myself a low P, or high AP due to some assignments and such
3. What worked for me in my senior project was having an abundant amount of resources and material for research purposes since my topic is such a common and widespread field. Once I knew what I wanted to research about, there were no problems finding a ton of information pertaining to it.
4. If I could go back in time, I would probably force myself to get mentorship sooner. It was a growing concern throughout the first semester of the year, and was also affecting my research quality as well due to having no guidance. So I would definitely fix that as early as possible.
5. Senior project has broadened my horizons to the possibilities of what fields of study I would like to undergo in college and ultimately what type of careers to explore as well. In the Information Technology field, what I focused on was databases mostly. There are plenty of other branches that I have not yet looked fully into, but I definitely intend to so that I truly explore all my options and choose to pursue exactly what I would love to work on in the future.

Blog #16: Advisory Meeting #2
EQ: What is the best way for a small business to tackle system-wide IT issues in order to run as efficiently as possible?
Answer 2: Programmers should work alongside the chief information officer in order to find problems within the system and build new systems. Since technology is so integrated into business and has a major effect on how they might operate, it is very necessary to have both the programmers and the business in conjunction with each other in order to create a working system for a specific purpose or to find issues, such as mixing of programming and business terminology so the employees can use it properly. Regulations need to be put in place for projects undergone in a business as well, or else they tend to go out of control in cost such as black swans, and having the CIO of a company keeping track of anything going on and working with the programmers would help prevent any major issues from arising. Also, having the CIO or any people directly under him or her working alongside the technology experts is really the focal point of where business meets technology, and they help bridge the gap between the two so that the business overall can operate to it's fullest potential, without any issues of misunderstanding or miscommunication between different departments, levels, and areas of the company.
With all that said, the mixing of technology and business is mostly done through the great communication between the experts of both fields and it is the CIO's job of ensuring that a system is working and functioning properly in accordance with what the business needs it for, else the business lose money through many possible issues arising from miscommunication between the different sectors of the company.

Blog # 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
1. Positive Statement: The Lesson 2 has showed me how prepared I actually am for the end of the year, and helped solidify exactly what I will be researching and needing information on by the time the last presentations come around. I am most proud of being able to make time in this presentation because I was unable to in the first lesson. The powerpoint I made this time helped me accomplish this by giving me a set of information to go along with and make sure I didn't skip or forget too much.
2. I would give myself a P on this presentation, mostly for making time, talking about mentorship, having cited sources to talk about, and basically hitting all the necessary requirements for the presentation. I even printed a poster which is now useless since my EQ will probably be changed, but it happens.
3. Having 30 minutes to talk helped me, I was able to expand as much as necessary on certain topics and ideas, and I liked the activity idea but it wasn't my favorite thing to have done. Having a powerpoint worked a lot more than I thought it would have, keeping me knowing how much time I have left to speak and what else I needed to talk about as well.
4. What didn't work for me, at least not my favorite part, was the activity. I felt like it should have been more of the focus of the presentation because a lot of them could have been better or even more feedback centered around the activities so people know if they should build upon it for their next presentation or simply try something else. For my case studies, they were very simple and took up the time, but if I could use them again with a lot more ideas and information they could be used later again but improved.
5. Talking to my house teacher I believe it will be : Programmers should work alongside business associates in order to solve information system problems or issues or when creating and establishing new ones.
