Reflection:

For SLO #1 I have rated myself as “Competent.” Because this was my first time attending a poster presentation as a presenter I was unsure of what to expect or how to prepare. I chose to prepare by reviewing our group's poster in depth and lightly reviewing our group's final paper for the project. While I began the poster session with hesitation, I quickly found that discussing the methods, findings, and recommendations of our research project to be enjoyable and therefore I was able to do so with confidence and conviction. I was also able to make connections between the research we had conducted in Spring 2015 to courses we have taken prior to and since then. I also found myself making connections to my own practice of student affairs as our discussions progressed.
