Blog 5: Project Reflection and Working EQ

Content:   
The Pentagon: 

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
Something positive I've come to experience is the different pieces of information I've come into contact with. I didn't realize the law aspect of things would actually come to really interest me. In the past I've always leaned towards science and things to that nature, but recently reading up much on the policy's of the government have really opened my mind and interest into this. For example when I began to read Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do, I began to realize there is much more to the government that not only me, but many others are oblivious to.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
My first piece of research, I would have to choose in terms of coming to understand my topic more. When I read this article, it was the first time I had been introduced to policy problems in the law system. How people are debating and coming together to bring to light these concerns.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
So far, in the senior project what has worked for me, is being able to successfully find good pieces of articles and books.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?  
What hasn't worked so far, is now coming to terms into what I want my EQ to centralize around. Criminology has a wide array of possible topics I can concentrate on, but I'm not entirely sure what would work best for me.

(5) Finding Value:  
  •  What is a potential question you would like to study this year?  (working EQ)
    • What way can science and society better themselves to lower criminal activity? 
  •  What do you plan to do for mentorship?  If you haven't found a mentor yet, then discuss where you are currently looking and who you are talking to to find it.  
    • This week I'm going to call Antonio J, Bestard To see if he can possibly be my mentor.
