Helping 2013

Interview with Evan Muth.

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

• (their answer) He had 2 ideas for his senior project, Robotic's or Anthropology. He chose these topics because he already has an idea for service learning for both and he finds them very interesting. 
• (What feedback did you offer when you heard the topic ideas?) I thought these were pretty interesting ideas and I told him choose one as fast as possible to get a head start on next year. 

(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.

• (their answer) He can take a course on either topic during the summer at the University of San Diego. This would exceed the 10 hour requirement easily.  
• (What feedback did you offer them in response?) I told him it was great that he already has his plan set out to meet next year's goals. 

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

• (their answer) He is looking to see how much he will have to do for his own project. He also wants to watch for examples of Essential questions because he is not sure what his will be.
• (What suggestions did give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?)  I told him to absorb as much knowledge from the 2 hours as possible because you can get a fairly good idea of what works and what doesn't. 

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.

• (questions they had) He had a question about research check's and the overall binder due at the end. So I clarified the overall count and dates to watch out for. 
• (What additional recommendations did you give them?) I told him if he is responsible with his work and does not procrastinate, senior year won't be the horrible year everyone hypes it up to be.
