1. What presentations did you see?
I went to: Archaeology, Soccer Training, Creating a Franchise, Plant Science, Real Estate, Boxing, No Presentation, Computer Science, Angioplasty, Landscaping, Magic the Gathering, Animal Adoption, Dentistry, Firefighting, Organic Architecture, and Domestic Violence.
2. What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said.
Does the activity have to be short? Does it count for time? Some people were very worried that they did not make time, is it pass or fail? Or is it like P and Above but NC all below?
3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?
It's about the way you convey the structure of you answers. If you have a weak explanation for your answers, it shows that you did not think about it, it is just an extra answer for the sake of the grade, or you're just nervous. One should not rush and just take their time to explain in depth with good organization how you got to the answers. But getting to good structure also means that you had to be paying attention to your mentor. Find a good mentor and do the project on something you are passionate about.
4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering botany, the study of plants, or herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians. It's difficult finding a mentor in the state at least for herpetology. Herpetology has been an interest to me as soon as I knew the word existed. I've always ADORED reptiles and amphibians. Sadly, I am poor and can not afford to travel across the country where there are internships for people of my age. After my lovely animals, I am very interested in plants. In Southern California there are some pleasing internship options, they're out there. All my life it was all about plants and animals; they're all amazingly fascinating. I am still looking to see which botany internship would best suit me but also keeping my options open for herpetology opportunities.
