Journal Entry #8--Reflect on your Problem / Solution Poster Presentation

Write at least one full paragraph about your poster session. Here are some questions to consider:

  • What, specifically, did you learn from preparing to do your poster session?
  • What, specifically, did you learn from doing the poster session?
  • What were the strongest aspects of your poster session? What aspects could have been better?
  • What feedback about your topic did you gain from audience members? Did they offer suggestions relating to your solution?

Journal #7 -- Reflect on Your Problem / Solution Paper

First of all, let me congratulate you for your part in the poster session on March 24! I was impressed by and proud of your performance. For one of your journal entries this week, you should reflect on your problem / solution paper.


Write at least one full paragraph about your research paper. Here are some questions to consider:


  • What, specifically, did you learn from the research paper process (brainstorming topics, researching, taking notes, formulating a thesis and outline, drafting, citing sources, and finalizing the paper)?
  • A weakness I noticed overall in the research papers was a lack of specific information about solutions to the problems. Is your final draft strong in this regard?
  • If you teacher allows it, do you plan to revise your paper and resubmit it for a higher score? Why or why not?
  • What will you do differently the next time you write a research paper?
