Senior Project Reflection

1.  In my 2 Hour, I'm most proud of how I was able to interact with the audience and how they received my information. I think I did this well because the audience was able to answer the questions I asked them with the information that I presented on.  In my entire senior project, I'm proud of how my Science Fair went because it really helped provide more evidence for one of my answers.

2. a. I honestly feel I deserve an AE on my 2 hour because I not only met all the requirements, but I felt like the information I gave was high quality.  I also received only positive feedback from my presentation teacher as well as my audience.  They felt I was really confident, knew my information, were engaged in my activities, and one even said that this was the best presentation he's been in.

b. On my overall senior project, I think I deserve a P+ because I feel like my I-search as well as 2 hr were very good quality and went above the needed requirements. 

3.  What worked- My 2 hour, I-search, and Science Fair.

4. Didn't work- Originally, I had difficulty finding information from legitimate sources. I also wasn't satisfied with my service learning experience in regards to helping me with my answers. 

5.  Because of my senior project, I'm now more sure of what career path I want to take.  Before starting SP, I knew I wanted to do something in criminal justice, but not exactly sure of what exactly.  I will now be pursuing a career in criminal law because I want to be able to apply the knowledge I learn from studying criminal justice at SFState in a real world setting.

Contact Name and Number:
Sergeant Mark Saldecke, Walnut Sheriff's Department- (909) 595-2264

EQ Connection:
Although my time volunteering at the Wanut Sheriff's Department didn't help me answer directly through my service, it did provide me with all my interviews.  During my interviews, I was able to specifically ask detectives and sergeants what the most significant reason people commit crimes were, as well as questions about common theories of deviance.

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1. For my Independent Component 2, I plan on continuing my volunteering at the Walnut Sheriff's Department.  I will complete more than the required 30 hours in the volunteer program under Sergeant Mark Saldecke.
2.  I will be filing paperwork, creating Excel documents for the Sergeant, help out with activities outside of the department, and go on patrol rides.
3.  My independent Component relates to my EQ because it's centered around people who face crime everyday. 

Room Creativity

I'm planning on making the room look like a crime lab.

For either my activity for my first or second answer, im going to have the students in groups and have them create statistics based off of the information I provide on my answer. I plan on having at least one senior in each group in order to guide them.

APRIL 21/22 ~ 2012

2012 Official Results

 Roster for 2012 Baker to Vegas 

 

Target practice

 

 LITERAL: I, Stephné Poole, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work. Above is the 2012 Roster for Baker to Vegas.  I was involved by helping create posters for the marathon and compiling the Roster for Walnut Sheriff Station.  I also participated in a ride-along in the Walnut area.  In addition, I had the opportunity to go to the shooting range for the first time. Above is my target practice.  This time around, I was able to do more engaging activities in addition to using Excel to create various spreadsheets (employee hours, rosters, etc), creating volunteer ID's, and filing paperwork.  

INTERPRETIVE: Once again, I have met and have gone above the time requirement for the independent component by completing 63 hours.  Volunteering here has given me an inside look into the law enforcement aspect of criminology and has shown me how busy it is. Being in this type of an environment was very fast paced, and I was able to see different sides of police work.  

 

APPLIED: Although my time volunteering at the Walnut Police Station wasn't specifically helpful in helping me answer my EQ, it did provide me with opportunities to ask different types of police (sergeants, detectives, sheriffs) their take on crime and how and why it occurs.  Volunteering here was also a good opportunity to question people for my interviews, which I took advantage of.  These sheriffs and detectives also steered me towards different sources that could help me with my EQ.  In conclusion, I felt that my total amount of hours spent on both independent components (126) should somewhat cover for the experience not being as conductive to my EQ as I was hoping.
