1.   What presentations did you see?

  • Molecular Biology - Alissa M.
  • Theoretical Particle Physics - Hannah S.
  • Teaching Mathematics - Alexis A.
  • Violin - Alexa C. 

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.  


What goes it mean to "make time" does it mean you presented for enough time or didn't go over the set time limit?

Does there have to be three answers to our personal E Q or can there be more than three like in Hannah's Theoretical physics presentation?
Is there a minimum and maximum number of activities needed to get a P or even an AE?

3.    What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?


The presentations that I found really good was the ones in which the students bring up Mentor ship and the knowledge gain while under there mentor. That is why i believe that the time a student spends with there mentor and the quality of knowledge given to there student is probably the most important part of the Senior Project


4.      What topic are you considering doing and why?


The topic I am considering doing is Biochemistry and that is because my two favorite classes at I-poly were Biology and Chemistry and the topic deals with those two topics and how chemicals and advancements in Biology and Chemistry can help humans live longer.
