Week 10: GURWM – Get Un-Ready With Me
Welcome back everyone!
Unlike what the title says, I am actually doing more than ever to get ready for my final presentations for both AP Research and Senior Projects—I just wanted to title this blog similarly to how I titled my first ever blog post!
This week I have focused on making final changes to my paper, as well as adding more material onto my presentation slides. I can not believe that I have a little over one week left until I give my final presentation for Research!
I have also been working on memorizing my presentation, as well as practicing my responses for the oral defense. For AP Research, our presentations are around 15 minutes long, with a few oral defense questions asked by the panel. Honestly, I am pretty worried about memorizing an entire 15 minutes worth of content, as the last time I memorized a script for presenting was for the AP Seminar IMPs which was less than 10 minutes if I remember correctly. However, since this project is something I’ve worked on for the past school year, I feel like I basically know everything about my project, meaning it probably will not be too difficult to memorize.
For the oral defense, apparently there are three types of oral defense questions that the panelists will ask, so I’ve been preparing for that as well. They definitely have a different structure compared to last year’s TMP or IMPs, but regardless I think I will be fine in answering any questions asked to me since I have been working on this project for so long now.
Anyways, I’ll be back with updates on my project next week! Make sure to like and subscribe, and I’ll see you all next time.
