January Midterm Reflection

My first thoughts on how my Midterm Presentation went were largely positive. I received mostly positive feedback and many judges asked very insightful questions, some of which I hope to address in future work. I got lots of positive feedback regarding my data and research which many judges seemed impressed with. On top of this, many judges liked how my slideshow presentation went well with what I was saying. Another aspect the judges seemed to enjoy was the anecdote I told in the beginning and how it conveyed one relatable purpose for my project. These judges also liked how my presentation essentially came full circle in the end with me talking about how one future impact of my project would be its implementation into self-driving cars. However, some judges felt as though I spoke too much specifically about spectrograms while some others ended up not fully understanding them. In future presentations, I will have to remedy this by coming up with a clear and concise way to explain the spectrogram to my audience. Up until now, I have talked about the judges' responses to my presentation and, while I will be taking their feedback into consideration, I also did get some helpful insight from not only some fellow EMC-ers but also school administrators that brought new challenges to light that I hope to address and maybe even solve in the not so distant future.
