Original Work Speech

This week in ISM, I finished my Original Work report and started planning out my Original Work speech. As I wrapped up my report and drew my final conclusions, I was able to discern several trends within my data, such as the correlation between the type of suspension system incorporated, the overall comfort level for the individual, and the typical usage of the device. From my statistical analysis of the survey responses, I was able to justify and support the hypothesis I had drawn before beginning my report, affirming that above knee users of prosthetics did receive a lower level of functionality and satisfaction from their prosthesis. As a whole, I'm extremely proud of how the finished report turned out, and I believe that I learned a lot of valuable information that will definitely benefit me as I consider my final product. Also this week, I started planning out my Original Work/ Reflections speech, which I'm giving on February 17th. Because this speech is meant to be more of a discussion/ presentation rather than a formal speech, I'm thinking of ways to get the audience engaged and involved throughout the speech to ensure that I keep their attention. This upcoming week, I will revise both my Final Product proposal and calendar to create a finalized version, write another Evidence of Learning, and continue to prepare for my Original Work speech!
