2. It seemed to me that all of the presentations i saw were about an hour and some minutes. Is it called the 2-hour presentation because that is how long it is before a different presenter starts? Or is it more for intimidation purposes? What happens if you don't make time during your presentation? How much is the senior presentation worth?(grade wise)

Interpretive:

3. The most important part of the senior presentation that I have seen is to make sure you have enough material to meet the requirements for talking. It is very important to know your topic. I noticed that most of the people that made time easily really knew what they were talking about, and they didn't see it like a presentation, but more of a conversation that they were really interested about. The ones that did not make time seemed like they did not care about their topic or care about their presentation.

Applied

4. I am considering doing something in the computer field. Maybe something like a software engineer or software developer or something like that. I chose this field because I already know a bit about it because my mom works in the field. She works in IT at Cal Poly so I get to see what she does sometimes after school. The only thing I am worried about is that I would get bored with the topic, or it might be boring in general to myself or others.
