Project development
Use these questions to guide your presentation development. Each bullet contains related questions that could be the general topic of one or more slides in the body of your presentation.
What went well in your course project development? What did you enjoy or find interesting? What do you think is the best part of your project? How will this be useful in your future?
What challenges did you face, and how did you address them? How might you continue developing skills to prevent or resolve such challenges in the future?
Beyond details about your selected technology's history and application, what did you learn about society and culture, politics and economics, ethics and equity impacted by this or other technologies?
Looking back at your progress through English, Sociology, Speech, Ethics, History, Humanities, Math, and other General Education program courses, what do you perceive is their value as preparation for success in your personal and professional life?
Considering the DeVry General Education Common Learning Outcomes (GECLOs), often considered "soft" skills, social skills, or human skills, what are your current strengths and opportunities to develop further? How will you need these skills? How will you continue developing in these areas?
The assignment requires no research, though to help inspire your reflection, you may wish to review your program to see which courses you took, course descriptions, and the Gen Ed program goals and objectives (GECLOs), all of which can be found in the DeVry Academic Catalog
