Reflection on Project

This investment project was a valuable learning experience that taught me the importance of balancing risk and return. Working with real-time data, we built a portfolio using stocks like USOIL, alongside bonds and bank deposits, to manage volatility and ensure stability.

One of the key skills I developed was analytical thinking, especially in interpreting market trends and using platforms like TradingView to make informed decisions. I learned how inflation, economic growth, and oil supply impact different assets and how to adjust strategies as markets change. I also gained a better understanding of risk management, particularly the need to diversify beyond USOIL to protect against sector-specific downturns.

Throughout the process, I noticed my early trades were sometimes influenced by emotion, especially when oil prices fell sharply. However, by keeping a detailed trading journal, I became more disciplined and learned to base decisions on data, not reactions.

Our teamwork was a major strength. Each member brought something valuable; whether it was economic insight, technical analysis, or strategic planning. We often debated investment choices and worked collaboratively to find balanced solutions. One teammate’s ability to track macroeconomic changes really improved our bond and deposit strategies.

More importantly, I walked away with practical experience in portfolio management, market analysis, and collaborative problem-solving.

This project reinforced that smart investing isn't just about chasing returns, it's about staying informed, being adaptable, and working effectively with others to make reasoned financial decisions.

Unit Test Score and Corrections

Score:

31/38

82%

Reflection: I received a score of 82% on our recent math test, which focused on circle theorems and deductive/inductive reasoning. Overall, I’m fairly happy with my performance, but I also see areas where I can improve.

I found the reasoning section both deductive and inductive quite straightforward. I felt confident identifying patterns, making logical conclusions, and explaining my thought process clearly. I especially enjoyed the deductive reasoning problems, where I could apply clear steps to reach a conclusion.

However, I found the circle theorems section more challenging. While I understand the basic concepts, I sometimes had trouble analyzing the diagrams and deciding which theorems to apply. Questions involving multiple theorems or less obvious angle relationships were especially tricky for me. I realized I need to practice recognizing key features in the diagrams more quickly and accurately.

To improve, I plan to review each circle theorem in more depth and do extra practice problems that involve multi-step reasoning with diagrams. I’ll also try to explain each step out loud or in writing to reinforce my understanding.

This test showed me that I’m on the right track with reasoning skills, and with more practice, I can become just as confident with circle theorems too.

Correction 1

a) Deductive: general -> specific
b) Inductive: specific -> general

Correction 2

5. Additional (since half of my response was correct):

Since H is a straight line, angle DCH is an exterior angle to triangle DAB, and still subtended by arc DB.

That makes angle DCH a circle angle at the circumference.

Using the theorem, angle at center is equal to twice the angle at circumference; x = angle DOB = 2 x angle DCH = 2 x 112 = 224 degrees.

6. Additional

The angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.

So: angle ACD = angle BCE = 66 degrees

Angle BAD = 2x, therefore 2x = 66 => x = 33 degrees
