Although the documentation of my senior project hours is complete, the knowledge that I gained and the experience are unmatched. The agreed project was to create an organization system for our metal shop tool room. I have been working on project since october starting with the design of a storage shelf and I have painted our tool room. I have reached thirty hours and I have more to go. I most likely have four-six hours left. Some further planning that took place was balancing the FFA with my senior project because I was asked to make auction items out of steel. This took priority in a way. I finally finished my thirty hours in the last week. The other scheduling that I had to deal with is that for a while I was attending ag mechanics practice …show more content…
Then I painted the walls grey as after I cleared off the walls we noticed that there was a giant amount of graffiti as well as exposed wood. The painting took quite a while as it was very difficult to cover up the old nail holes. I had a terrible time finding space for all of the tools elsewhere in the shop. This created an obstacle, as I was forced to stack to the ceiling and then paint half of the wall at a time. It took me about all of a monday to complete this task. This would have gone faster had I possessed a roller. I was limited on funding and limited on paint choice. I recycled some oil based grey and some water based grey. I also learned that oil based is not good for use inside. I began to notice fumes that the evacuation fans could not hold up to. I learned on this project so far to do my best with limited supplies. I then began to finish assembly of the rack that I made. The steel tubing that I used had a lot of oil all over it so the cleanup process was lengthened. I have started to clean up my rack for paint and primer.
On Monday the seventeenth I was attempting to cut out the sheet metal required for the deck of the rack and I cut into my finger with the plasma cutter. This was a rookie mistake and has taught me a lesson do not cut metal with your hand on the straight edge. I came out with some pretty severe burns. I am slowly recovering
I took my time leisurely as I didn't start my project until 2016. I buckled down and started working on my project furiously. I remember calling companies to help donate materials to my project ¨Hello could you help me construct my Eagle Project for Boy Scouts? I would need 200 bricks and 4 yards of dirt.¨ Every phone call was getting me closer until I finally got to the day where I broke ground on my project. The day my troop and I broke ground it was 90 degrees and my friends were there helping me wearing work boots, jeans, long sleeve shirts, and gloves. We poured and mixed 10 bags of concrete weighing 80 pounds each without the weight of adding water too. We poured 4-5 gallons of water in for every 2 bags and mixed about 175 pounds of concrete in a wheelbarrow. The sweat was dripping down while the project was going up. It took 220 hours to plan, organize, and finish my project. I went back three days later once the concrete and brick set. I drilled four holes in the stone top and put on the plaque. My Eagle project was complete.
That was the beginning of the most riskful, yet most rewarding year of my high school career; a few precedents I made during the 2015-2016 year included getting a job, joining FFA, FCCLA, and the Academic Super Bowl teams, plus church work, simultaneously. I was fully aware that tackling this new schedule while having a heavy academic load would be challenging, because I was in all honors and Advanced Placement courses that left me with close to two hours of homework to complete each
The object of this course and this project is to provide you with a realistic situation that you are likely to face in the real world business environment. You'll be working with limited information, limited support from your client, within a limited time frame - and yet, you have to get up to speed in a new area quickly, and make informed professional recommendations based on your research and analysis.
Week nine at Wild Dunes Resort consisted of 5 mid shifts: 10:00AM – 6:30AM again. This scheduled compiled with the capstone course and the project requirements has been a challenge as I have no off days and am not allowed to ask for any until April 10th which marks the end of the official spring break season. Juggling and organizing and obtaining very little sleep has become the norm for this last semester at Trident. I am definitely anticipating the end of this semester so life can return to some form of normalcy.
Also, I have a plan written out for how to get all of my stuff in a week without not being able to do all of it to it’s full extent. I was not able to have hockey practice Tuesday Thursday and most Friday, Saturday, and Sundays and also fit in dryland training on Monday and Wednesday. Of course, I also have homework and babysitting my siblings, which adds to the stress and workload. I made a plan to get everything done, and using the weekends I do have off to work on projects.
Brittany Travis Ms. Jones English Period 7 18 April 2017 Narrative 2 During the first part of my senior project hours I explained that I was learning about how a business works. I also expressed what I needed to accomplish and challenges that I’d faced within the hours of volunteering. Although the challenges that I faced I still had problems but, I did accomplish taking pictures of the new and old offices at Living Opportunities. The further steps that were involved with finishing my project hours were setting up another time during the summer to complete them. Also using the Living Opportunities time card to track the time spent in the office. The further steps that are needed to finish my project is making a power point based on what I did.
But in this project I learned how to master time. We would only get 40 minutes of class time to do the project and minus the mini lessons that Mrs. D would give to the students that wanted that, which would take like 15 minutes. So right off the bat, you would only have 25 minutes of class time to work. The after school I would have soccer practice and go home and do the things that I do daily and work on other homework and also work on my part of the
I encountered a minor injury while using a junior hacksaw on the burr from the sheet metal. To deal with this I ran my finger under the cold tap and then put a plaster on to stop the bleeding. Another safety issue that accrued while creating my toolbox was that
This is a friendly reminder that OSAT Office Hours will take place from 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday in the copy and print center (2nd Floor Rawls). I appreciate the TLCs who were able to sign-up or had the desire to sign-up. It would be helpful if additional people could show up to co-support CMs for at least 30 minutes. Additionally, it would be a great help to have a ERC TLS or two on deck, too! Click here to review your shift or to sign up for a shift.
I have been busy with the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival. We hired a Director of Development and we are putting together a proposal for fundraising. We also just hired a creative director, who is planning to help us with projects and help us manage them. I am now working with the creative director at Gathering 4 Gardner, the organizing for which I am the chair. We are about to publish some books. So I have been reviewing the manuscripts, among other things. My life is always very busy. Fortunately, I find almost all the things that I do fulfilling.
I knew right from the start of the degree that I would need to approach the degree with a proper plan. Time management was crucial – therefore, I drew up a schedule to finalise all study related work well in advance. This allowed me to work overtime occasionally, even in this demanding phase, for any unexpected emergencies at work. Derrick Herbst – 21034113 30 June 2013 Personal Development 1 Assignment Page 2
After making sure of the material due, I would distribute the workload throughout the week based on the weight of an assignment. For example, I would have a small essay that was assigned on Monday but due until Friday. I would break apart the essay in multiple days so that I would not have to complete the entire essay in one sitting giving myself more time to work on other subjects. So for essays I would typically give myself about one hour and a half or so each day to work on it and have it scheduled for completion by Friday afternoon. Honestly just making a plan
Ever since I started this University, I have started setting schedules, using Google calender. I have gotten this great opportunity to continue my studies and get a higher education and I am definitely not going to want it to pass me by. I have started with the schedules and sadly, I haven’t done any for the last few weeks and that again is
Managing a project is no easy task. A project is a series of tasks or jobs that are related to each other and directed toward a common goal or output. Projects usually require a significant time commitment, and tend to be handled by groups of workers. The employees at Craft Construction, a small business that deals with complete remodeling and some small commercial buildings, generally divide into groups of two or three workers per project. The number of employees assigned to a job usually depends on the size of the project. For each project, a project manager and a lead carpenter are assigned to handle most of the work. Project scheduling is different for every job. Smaller jobs require less planning because there is
Among the major factors involved in the successful completion of a PhD programme are project planning and time management. Therefore, defining and clarifying the scope and objectives of a project and breaking down the work into tasks and subtasks are crucial in order to achieve the set objectives, assess the projected timing and duration and prioritise key tasks with regard to importance and urgency. Frequent monitoring of progress against the plan constitute an essential part of the project review (assessment) process and are essential in order to ensure that the project is progressing successfully [1].
