Blog 5 Project Reflection and Working EQ

The Pentagon:

  1. Positive Statement - As a result of everything I have completed so far, I have met many new people. The entire mentorship and interview process so far has been all about building contacts that I will use in the future. this has been extremely beneficial because i have learned and will continue to learn so much from all the different people I have met. 
  2. EQ Content - The book i have been reading as part of my research has been very helpful. So far the book has been all about how the FBI began to use psychology and why. not only is it really interesting but it is easy and fun to read. The book has given me new insight and things to think about as I continue to research and work on my project. 
  3. So far what has worked for me in Senior Project would probably be my mentor. She is great and always doing her best to help me and involve me as much as she can. Karen has been a key part of everything I have accomplished so far within Senior Project. 
  4. What hasn't worked so far would probably be the psychology aspect of my project. It has been more difficult to move forward in that section with my mentor and other contacts. Although people have attempted to help, since my project involves the FBI it is difficult to get the help that would benefit me the most. 
  5. Finding Value - 
  • My working EQ is something i have been trying to figure out for a while. Of course, I would prefer to do something involving Psychology with the FBI, but I'm not sure if that will be possible. I'm still hoping though so as of now my EQ would be something like: How are Psychology and Criminology used within the FBI?
  • As of now I am mentoring with Karen Martin, a community outreach specialist for the FBI. Later on, I hope to be able to learn from someone who is more specialized towards what I would like my topic to be on for my senior project. If not, I am going to try to find someone who can teach me about Criminology and Psychology in general.
