Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?

The break gave me a chance to do more research on my topic, as well as look further into orthodontics as a career. Sadly, I was very limited on my research sources because my primary database -- ProQuest -- has been down for a while.

2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?

My work over the break has taught me that I need a new approach with my research. The source of this knowledge was my previous research and similar results coming up when I looked for new articles. I know there is more fresh research available, but I just need the right keywords to find them.

3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I think I might ask an orthodontist other than my current mentor in order to gain a different perspective on orthodontics and my essential question. My final answers will be more complete after speaking with multiple practicing professionals in the field.
