2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?
Michael Hood is qualified to be my mentor because he is a professor in astronomy and teaches people about it everyday.
3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.
- What are some other things I can do by myself to help me gain experience in the astronomy field?
- Why is hard to find a clear border between astronomy and other science fields?
- What are we, as a whole, hoping to accomplish with astronomy?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
I actually haven’t gained much experience yet since I have barely started on my mentorship. hopefully later on I will gain some valuable skills and experiences that I can use later on in life.
5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did mentorship help you make your decision? Please explain.
My senior topic is going to be about astronomy. The reason why I choose astronomy is because my mentor, Michael Hood, works in the astronomy field and was the only one who would accept me as a mentee.
