Since all of the time the student spent on the product phase of the Senior Project has been completed out of school, verification of the student's effort and time is necessary. Please answer the following questions to help the panel evaluate the student's experience on the product phase.
1. How often have you met with the student? Have you initialed the time sheet?
I was there before he had a Volvo and as soon as he found the 940 i helped him get it running to drive it home. im not always doing the hand on work for him but he knows if he ever need help or he broke something i will be there.
2. Can you verify that the student spent at least 30 hours creating this product? Yes
Comments: he worked way more than 30 hours and i was with him for at least that much. he has hundreds of hours working on that car. and he always comes and tell me what hes gotten done and what his plans are
3. Have you seen the student's work at different stages of completion or have you only seen the final product?
i saw it from the beginning and than after he put a little bit of work into it i watched as it slowly got better and better, untill the point hes at now completly rebuilding it
4. What specific problem(s), if any, did this student encounter and overcome?
lots. he broke bolts and everything you could imagine, he called me every couple days and be super scared because he broke something while taking it apart or asking how to put it back together
5. What kind of risk or stretch was this product for the student?
calvin has always had a intrest in cars but he had never owned a volvo. or daily driven rear wheel drive so of course some things are going to happen
6. What is your evaluation of the student's process?
his project will never truly end but he has come farther than any of his friends in such a short amount of time. after winter was over he pulled everything out and made it wonderfull
7. What is your evaluation of the student's product?
he got very far since he got the car but the final product for school might nit be toghter the hole engine is taken out of the car. its got all new parts all around inside and out of the engine and its in a very good place
