1. How are things going with your Senior Project?

 * Moving Along Fine
 * Stuck and need help
 * < Moving Along Fine. ||

2. How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?


 * I am always working effectively on this project in SLC and any other time available that I have in school and out of school. The ways that I am working effectively are any spare time I have in school or out of school I work on my research paper or whatever it is I need to do for my senior project. ||

3. What kinds of decisions have you found yourself making recently? Have they been good decisions? What are you learning about how you make decisions and what kind of effect these decisions have on your learning?


 * Some decisions that I have found myself making recently are just in the areas of my research paper and what to include in it. Since the physical project is on hold there is really not alot of other things that I can do or any decisions that I need to make. Yes they have been good decisions. Basically I have not learned anything by making these decisions because the senior projects has been basically stopped and these are decisions that I have made before in high school so really it is nothing new. I did learn more though about the history of scuba diving. ||

4. What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc?


 * The things that I have learned about myself is that I can write a 12 page research paper that is quality work, learn from it and turn it in on time for a grade. I learned that I am a student that gets my work done on time and I always do my best. ||

5. What did you learn about your topic/subjects that you didn’t know before? What connections among the various things you have studied and researched do you see? Have you had any “aha” moments? What were they and how did they affect you?


 * I have learned lots about the history of scuba diving that I did not know before. There was alot more history than I expected and I found it fascinating as to how many people tryed to find a way to dive in earyler years. Some connections that I have saw is what I researched is true to what is presented today. I can't say that I have had any "aha" moments because all I have done is a research paper and everything else is shut down. I really did not have any besides righting my research paper. ||

6. How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project?
 * I have used my mentors feedback by getting all of the information and paper work to the comitee that they asked for in order for my project to continue and I have done everything they asked and met every concern of the comitee by talking to my mentor but still I have been shut down. So I think I have used my mentors feedback and applied it to everything that the comitee of three asked but it still has been stopped. My advisors feedback was to stay on track and stay organized and do what I need to do which is what I have done. I have implemented their suggestions into my project by gathering all the information I need to gather and staying organized by turning things in on time and knowing what I need to do. ||
