Self Reflection Essay On Surfboard

Self-Reflection My presentation was effective in explaining how the forces of hydrodynamics and physics influenced the design of a surfboard. I believe that my use of an actual surfboard was the most effective component of my presentation because it gave the audience a visual representation of the structure of a surfboard, allowing them to see the parts up close. This made my presentation more understandable, creative, and interesting. The content of my presentation was well organized due to the reason that it was divided into three main parts. The first part explained the forces that acted upon a surfboard, then the second part informed my audience about the key components of a surfboard, which gave them a basic understanding of its structure, and the last part explained what modifications could be made to a surfboard to enhance or decrease a force that acts upon it. This made my presentation easy to follow and understand, which is important because many people have limited knowledge in my research topic. An improvement I would make to my presentation is to spend more time explaining the parts of the surfboard to highlight the connection between the forces and the surfboard’s structure. …show more content…
The focus of my research were the forces of physics and hydrodynamics along with the parts of the surfboard. By completing the source evaluations, I was able to confirm that I was using the best sources I could to answer my question. As the year progressed, my source evaluations improved, and I struggled less to find sources. They improved by being more relevant sources that contributed another piece of information to my topic. I made sure to find a balanced amount of research for each part of my topic, especially when my advisor gave me feedback to find more research on a certain component, such as a specific
