Senior Projects Presented

By Gaonou Lo
On your mark, get set, here comes Senior Project!  Every year, seniors are required to do Senior Project, which becomes part of their first semester grades.  It is a required class at Newman Catholic; either you do it or receive a zero.  It allows students to be independent and choose a topic of interest. 

The project starts toward the end of junior year, when juniors have to start thinking about what topic they want to research.  It wraps up the following November, during senior year. 

One thing that Nicole Cornell would change about Senior Project is to make the due date at the end of third quarter or before spring break because it would allow more time for seniors to work and might avoid some senior slide. 

The seniors worked very hard on their Senior Projects this year.  On December 17, 2010, presentations were held for fellow students, the underclassmen, and outside visitors.
