Week 9: July 25 - July 31, 2010
This week was spent working on the finishing touches to my poster and report. I am pleased with the final version of my poster which can be viewed by clicking here.
We rehearsed presenting in front of the group (click here to see the group photo) on Thursday which was good as we all received constructive criticism which I implemented in my final presentation.
On Friday, we did the formal presentation and had a panel of three judges review the work we did, the poster design and our presentation. There were awards and monetary prices at the end of the presentations. I am very happy to report that I won third place in the poster presentations.
I also completed my report and sent it to the group for review. Next week, I should receive feedback on it and make any changes that are suggested.
Next week will be my last week here at Clemson University. It should be a pretty relaxed week.
I finally went to the lake to swim with a couple of the other students. It was fun for a little bit but we kept saying that an actual pool would be more fun. So we headed to the apartments where some of the Ph.D. students live and spent the rest of the afternoon swimming and getting some sun. That was quite relaxing. We also had the last dinner at Dr. Hodges this week.
Hours worked ~ 40 hours
Week 10: August 1 - August 7, 2010
The week was spent formulating ideas for the video we are to create of the virtual patient we have been working on this summer. We practiced different scenarios, recorded and edited them.
Dr. Hodges watched the final version of our video, which he was quite happy with.
Friday was our last day which ended early, after having a group lunch.
My final week was spent packing, saying my goodbyes and getting nostalgic about leaving. I really enjoyed the experience, what I learned and the people I met. It was a very rewarding experience.
