(1) Positive Statement
I was most proud of the fact that I was able to articulate the more difficult concepts well so that everyone for the most part understood them. I was also proud of the amount of research I was able to cite and talk about in my presentation because my topic is strongly dependent on research whether it be from published sources or my mentor, in order to understand the ideas of my topic and those mentioned in my presentation.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)? I would assess myself at a P
AE P AP CR NC
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)? P
AE P AP CR NC
(3) What worked for me in my senior project was implementing research I found during research count in my mentorship in order to give me a better understanding of certain aspects of my topic which I was able to convey in my project.
(4) If I had a time machine, I would go back and find a better way of implementing my activities, I feel that why they did reflect the content I taught there was some confusion on what to do.
(5) Finding Value
I think the senior project has definitely aided my in my future endeavor because I do want to pursue law as a career so I think that the experience I had through mentorship gave me a taste of what that would be like so it sealed my decision of pursuing a career in law. I also feel the Senior Project gave me valuable skills such as researching skills that I got from the many research count , presentation skills I obtained from the actual hour lesson, and many more that are only attainable by going though the the whole process of the senior project.

Blog 16: Answer 2
1. My essential question is: what is the
best way for a lawyer to negotiate a transaction between two parties?
2. My first answer is: the best way for a lawyer to negotiate a transaction between two parties is to know you client's interests.
3. My second answer is: the best way for a lawyer to negotiate a transaction between two parties is through using clear and concise language.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
My second answer is true because: it keeps the ideas clear just as a professor would in teaching a subject the most clear and concise wording can help everyone learn. It avoids confusion, obscured or ambiguous phrases and things read out of context can be very misleading; for example, the car commercials that say anyone can buy a car and not put money down ETC. They don't mention all the prerequisites necessary to qualify for that deal, which in turn means not ANYONE can do it .Finally, it ensures everyone gets what they want. The only example I could come up with is buying a car, if the contract is clear and easy to read then it is easy to make sure you have received everything you asked for.

6. Scott, Robert E, and George G Triantis. "Anticipating Litigation in Contract Design." The Yale Law Journal, 115.4 (2006): 835-856.
7. Not only is my second answer important in this field, but in all aspects of business as well. Clear and concise language can help avoid a lot of disputes .

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection
Content:
1. I am very proud of the fact that in my Lesson 2 Presentation, I was able to go into greater detail on my mentorship and what exactly my topic is, through the answer to my essential question. I felt that in addition to answering my essential question I was also able to give a greater understanding for what I love to do.
2. a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I felt that my presentation had no issues with the different aspects of the rubric. Professionalism, Organization and Creativity, and Audience Involvement I felt were met in my presentation to at least the P level. The only aspect of the rubric that I feel that I did above P work in was in my Justification of Answer. I feel that the content I presented in my Lesson two was in depth and extremely detailed and beyond the expectations of the rubric. I feel I deserve an AE in that area.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
In my Lesson 2 Presentation I felt that explaining certain terms or processes as well as giving real life examples really helped my audience understand my presentation and preform the activity.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I noticed that while I was explaining certain topics in my presentation the topic may have confused some people.Especially because these areas can be verbose and that often just confuses the audience. Perhaps next time I will try to incorporate more real life scenarios or examples so the audience can relate to the information I am presenting.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
The second answer to my EQ will most likely be, the best way for a lawyer to negotiate a transaction between two parties is through using clear and concise language,

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection
Content:
1. Positive Statement
I am proud of the fact that I was able to articulate some of the more complex ideas clearly in my presentation and do so slowly because I was afraid I would glaze over something without really explaining it and not make time.
2. Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
In terms of professionalism, I don't feel like I lacked in any of the aspects of that category. Although I was a little sick, I managed to speak as loudly and as audible as possible which I think engaged the audience. I also made time which means I was able to condense my content successfully while still making it clear which was also part of the rubric. As for justification of foundation, the research and articles I cited as well as my mentorship reflect the content I presented so I don't feel I was lacking on that area.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
I definitely feel that the research (mostly my mentorship) I had for lesson one aided me in clearly explaining some concepts and examples as well as rehearsing and referencing my sources so I have a clear understanding for the content I explain.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
I feel like my introduction and hook activity could have been better. Initially I had trouble coming up with a hook activity or at least one that didn't seem too boring. If I could go back in time, I would have tried to come up with a more engaging and fun hook activity to make my audience more attentive to the rest of my presentation.
