Outside Artifacts:
For this artifact I had a handful of ideas to throw around. Above are two scanned images of the Honor's Programs Certificates of Distinction. They were both awarded to me in May at the end of last semester at a very nice banquet that the college holds each year. The first was awarded to me by Roy Church on behalf of LCCC for winning the award. The second was actually given to me by the Honor's committee. Each year, the Honor's Institute here at LCCC picks a student that is in Honor's courses and votes on who they believe deserves this award, which is only given out to one student and is awarded for overall excellence in class performance. I was told it was the first time the award voting was unanimous, which both surprised me, as well as made me very happy. Since winning the awards, the Honor's Institute has given me some scholarships and they have asked me to publicly speak on their behalf a couple of times in trying to recruit new students into the program. If I have learned anything since winning these awards it is that hard work absolutely pays off, and just because something is intimidating, it does not mean that you should not pursue it and give it your all.
Below is the second set of outside artifact that I selected to show, simply because they are more technology based. Despite the fact we actually did an excel oriented artifact, I thought I would show some of the advanced statistics that can be calculated using excel. I learned to use excel in this fashion in statistics class and discovered that you can actually use excel for a plethora of different mathematical operations. I think that knowing how to do statistical analysis of different sets of data is extremely useful, and knowing how to showcase that data in different ways to get to the heart of your conclusions is equally valuable, which is why I included a handful of graphs that were created from the dataset as well. I feel that both of these artifacts display a certain commitment to excellence in learning, as well as showcasing my willingness to give the things I do my all.
