"Mr. Levitan's Visit"

Answer some of the following in short paragraph format. 
• What did you learn from Vic Levitan’s visit today? 
• What new ideas do you have for your project? 
• How has your course of action changed? 
• At this point, which are your greatest challenges for pulling off the Project portion of Senior Project Seminar? 

What I learned from Vic Levitan's visit yesterday was to better enforce or even clarify what a presentation should look like and what content it should contain. Some of the ideas that I found interesting was that the format that is typically followed be changed up for instance leave the introduction for the middle of the presentation instead of the usual starting with my name is...and this is my project... I also learned that you want to keep it simple and short he stressed the fact that the average individual tunes out or losses focus in less then five minutes or shorter. He has given me a couple ideas but funny was that my mentor and I had gotten together and actually came up with some really great ideas and how we are going to present my project. In my opinion the greatest challenge I face is what am I going to put into the presentation itself! I have so many ideas and things to incorporate but I am constantly reminded that I have to keep it K.I.S.S. so that is one of the most challenging obstacles I face.

  1. My brain also gets saturated with ideas and I have to remember the K.I.S.S. principle. It's cool that your mentor and Vic are on the same page regarding ideas.
