Blog 9 - Advisory Prep 3


1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
I do currently have a mentor; his name is Michael Hood. I have not scheduled an interview yet.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.
Light - The reason why I am gearing more towards light is because there is a lot of information on it, yet it still remains a huge mystery.
Gravity - The reason why I am looking into gravity is because not only does it affect Earth, but it affect the entire universe. Its an interesting topic with a ton of examples and information.  

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?
I am thinking books and videos will help me get into more depth on these two topics. I am planning on asking my mentor for help to find good information on it.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

What are the possible fates of us humans and the universe?

Blog 6 - Advisory Prep



1. What has worked well for you concerning senior project this year?  What has made it a positive experience for you?  
What worked well for me is the fact that I’m am gaining a lot of knowledge about my topic whenever I go to mentorship. Every time I go to my mentorship, I learn a ton of new things that spark my interest. The experience, I think is okay. I’m satisfied with it.

2. What are you finding difficult concerning senior project?  How can you adapt to make that portion work better for you?  How might the senior team help?

The thing I am finding difficulty in is finding a sub-topic in astronomy to focus on. There is so much to learn and so little time that I can’t possibly talk about everything. I think the only thing I really need right now is time, time to look over everything and figure out what I what to focus on. I don’t see a way the senior team can help me on this situation.
