Progress Report # 1

During the first few weeks of this project, I have gotten multiple, very usable sources. I have started my thesis and my initial proposal and am very excited about this project. My next goals are starting to put things together, like my notes, an outline and my hands-on project which I already figured out how I am going to do. My mentor simply keeps encouraging me to do my work and keeps me focused on this project.

Progress Report # 2 I have made a lot of progress on my paper. I have read and analyzed all of my sources and figured out how I am going to write it. I have met all of my goals except for the thesis based research. That is because I had forgotten to do it and I didn’t really understand how to do it in the first place. However I am on top of things now, and am not going back to that again. My mentor has been sick for a couple of days and hasn’t been able to help me as much but she is still encouraging me to keep my head up and focused. I hope to finish my paper, and do all of my works cited and hopefully get going on my hands-on project.

Progress Report # 3

So far I have finished my paper and am currently working on making it better. I still need to do my works cited, start my power point, and set-up my hands on project. My mentor is helping me with editing my paper and starting on my power point as well. All I need to do for my hands on project is schedule it and make it happen, everything else is set up and ready to go. I am excited about starting my final power point because I am trying to make it extremely eye catching and interesting.

Progress Report # 5

Since my last progress report I am starting to become more and more anxious for my presentation in front of the class. I am usually okay if I am talking about something I know really well, which if I don’t know my project by now then I deserve to fail. I think the only thing that is freaking me out is remembering the entire thing and putting my PowerPoint together. I also need to figure out something to do for my hands-on project because I don’t think the murder mystery will achieve what I want people to know about criminal profiling. I am thinking of doing a survey of past crimes that were committed, and what it actually is.
