Projects

I would like to share with you some projects and papers I am proud to have been apart of creating.

Spring 2002, my sophomore year, I took Software Engineering I. In that class we were put into groups and told that we were to create software by establishing our own problem, planning our approach, learning how to use the tools, develop a finished project as well as present our process and product to the rest of the class. Our professor was a mentor; he did not tell us what to do. He gave us ideas, was there if we needed help, and provided support when we needed it. We choose to develop an online art museum. I encourage you to check it out: Art Institute Online.

Another class project that warrants attention is Honors Colloquium. In this class we were to research a topic first semester and collaboratively write webtext that incorporated our diverse topics. Our project is exemplifies our research in diversity and thus is called Visions of Diversity. (You can check out my individual page as well.) We did not finish there we presented at the Upper Midwest Honors Council Conference. After our presentation at the Upper Midwest Honors Council Conference our experience and project was published in The National Honors Report, "Growing More than Corn" (summer 2001 volume XXII, No. 2). That led to an invitation to present at the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference in November.

I wrote a paper that I am proud of and would like to share. It is a true story (with the names changed). Please take a moment to read Doing Laps.

I would also like to present my research on youth ministry. I wrote this paper as apart of my Honors Colloquium class. If you don't have time to read that here are some quick facts. I have worked in youth ministry for 3 years now and my knowledge has grown. I hope to share more of it here at a later time.
