Senior Project Remarks

The whole senior project.....fiasco has ended, thank God, without too many casualties. But it could've been better ( I mean, there still WERE casualties, and that is a big no-no). I don't know much about what went on with the other classes, so I can't offer insight (nor criticism) that you should consider for future reference. But I can tell you EXACTLY what you might want to consider for our class. A fatal blow for most of the casualties that occured was that horrible binder. The main thing that I believe went wrong with it is the fact that you made us start on the senior project stuff LAST SEMESTER, and then you tell us, like, 2 or 3 weeks before its all actually due THIS SEMESTER that we STILL have things to do. Most people who have some inkling of a life have understandably forgotten about the dreaded senior project and when you sprung those last steps up on us at, seemingly, the last minute, most of us i'm sure were unprepared mentally if not physically. Can you guess what my suggestion for improvement is yet? Well, i'll tell ya! Have the class do the entire senior project either all at once in a well spaced out manner (time-wise; like 2 or 3 months) or have them do it gradually over the course of the school year. That way the senior project will not be completely, or even partially, forgotten and the students will have time to practice what they know, lose some of the edge off their fears and anxieties, and, at the very least, not be taken by surprise as I felt our class was.
