As we progress in the school year, we begin to think about
more long-term goals, such as preparing for Research Showcase at the end of
this semester and Final Presentation Night in the spring. In order to prepare for these events, we must
design a display board, so that people attending the event are able to quickly
learn more about who we are, what we’re studying, and how we’re learning. The
display boards should be eye catching and engaging, so that people will be
interested in our field, but as we created the designs for our boards, we had
to remember to balance creativity and professionalism. We also took color into consideration, since
different colors inspire different emotions and are associated with different
ideas.
This week, I also completed m first interview
assessment. This allowed me to gain
perspective and uncover what I really got out of the research interviews that I
have had the opportunity to go on so far.
By reflecting on what I’ve learned about my field already, I gain a
deeper understanding of the material and at the same time allow myself to move
on so that I am not unnecessarily repetitive in my interview questions.
