1.) I'm proud that I didn't have to use any note cards and that I knew the information from the top of my head without really having to pause or think about what I was going to say. I reviewed the power point like once, and I think I did pretty decently.
2.) I think I would give myself a P+. I think I really explained my information more than thoroughly. My first activity was really engaging and I could see a lot of people had fun with it, and it explained the concept I was teaching extremely well. I really knew my information and I had all my materials prepared and ready.
For my Senior Project I think I deserve an AE-/P+. I learned a great deal of information and I'm one of the few projects where I can apply what I've learned throughout the rest of my life. My research was solid and on more than one occasion I've been told my presentations were good by more than one teacher and student. I was able to do a great independent component and my service learning was decent.
3.) The research was good. The independent learning was also pretty good. I had fun with that and learned a bit. Everything pretty much went ok. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either.
4.) Service learning. I was told by my original service learning person in december that I couldn't end up doing service learning there so I had to think fast to get service learning.
5.) I know my way around a car, so if I ever need a job, its just one more thing i can add to the resume. In terms of endeavors i don't plan on being a full time mechanic, but its still a good thing to know. It helps save money though since I know how to service my own car.

Service Learning
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkH-MKUV0FVIdDJ5VHh6d0R5d2dYX0RfRFJUZnM3Umc#gid=0
in case you couldn't read my writing
I helped my uncle with various tasks of restoring his car including pounding out dents, doing the oil changes on his car, changing tires, and helping him take apart the engine.
Interpretive
I think the most important thing I learned from my service learning was that most of the problems wrong with your car can be done by you. Most people assume that it takes a professional mechanic to fix your car when in reality it doesn't. I also learned more about how the car works and how to keep the car up to date in terms of maintenance.
Applied
Although my uncle's car is pretty old, he still keeps up with modern cars. He helped me narrow down my findings in my i-search paper. When I was stuck on what to use for my best answer he walked me through which finding would be best for my best answer. He also showed me what aspects of the car were important, and because his car was old I was able to compare the parts to newer ones on more modern cars to see how they've improved over time and how they've helped performance.

Interview 5
Blog Title: Helping 2013
I interviewed Jamilex Rodriguez
April 24, 2012 during elective
What ideas do you have for senior project and why?
1.) I'm thinking either between law or singing. I like both topics and I'm active in both, so I have to think about it, but I'm fine with either one. I don't really have a preference.
Me: Try and do something that you won't mind researching every week. Keep in mind you need service learning and independent learning, so try and pick one that's easier to pull off. Make sure to think about how you're going to get research for each topic.
What do you plan on doing for the 10hr requirement?
2.) If I decide to do singing I'll try and find an instructor and do it with him/her. I've worked in law offices before so service learning wouldn't be too hard to get if I decide to do law for my topic.
Me: Alright seems like you pretty much have that covered. Since you've worked in a law office already I think you should go for that since it seems you have access to service learning. My friend Christa did her project on singing so if you need service learning let me know. I'm pretty sure Ogden would let you use his class for an independent component so that would be easy.
3.) I want to see how they carried out their project. I think it'll be helpful for me to see how they overcame challenges, what they learned, etc. In that way, I kind of want to know what to expect once I start doing the senior project.
Me: Yeah that's always helpful. I remember watching senior presentations and I used them for reference this year whenever I think about what I might be doing for my two hour. Just pay attention to how we set up the presentation and how we tie everything back to our EQ. Also think ahead of possible ideas for science fair and research. That was a huge pain for some people's topic.
4.) It sounds like she has it pretty much figured out. The research might be a challenge but she pretty much has the service learning covered. The only thing I can tell her is to commit to a topic, but other than that I think she's good. She asked about how the EQ worked, and I just said its what we have to focus on answering the entire project. I also told her to be careful about the wording of the EQ because that affects the project later on.

Independent Component 2
I, Adrian, affirm that I have completed my independent component which represents 30 hours work.
I finished the rest of the Audi Academy. NOTE: It shows 15 out of 16 completed because the last module was a seminar that actually requires me to be an employee to qualify(first picture). To compensate for this I finished the courses on the side, which can be seen in the second picture under Advanced Course Catalog Search.
Interpretive:
The modules went through EVERY single model in the current Audi lineup and went into detail on the engine, transmission options, suspension, etc. The Advanced Section Models went into even more detail about particular parts of the car, so with that said I was able to distinguish what parts were most important to achieve maximum performance from an Audi.

Answer 3
1.) What is most important to achieve maximum performance from an Audi?
2.) Aerodynamics that reduce drag and increase down force.
3.) At over 200mph a car needs over 4000lbs of down force to keep the car from lifting.
-Drag increases the air resistance a car has, inhibiting effective power the engine can put down.
-A low center of gravity on the car keeps the air flow under the car moving smoothly, which pushes the car down. More down force makes turning easier.
