1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
I do have a mentor, and I am currently waiting to hear back from my mentor to see when she could meet. Most likely, my interview will be this Sunday because it seems to work best for her and me.
2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic. Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.
I have noticed during my mentor ship and during my research, that I am facing the dilemma of not having certain records for unknown reasons. For example, when I try to do my research for Europe, that those records are not there. I plan on doing research to determine why those records are not there.
3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth? Where will you go to get them?
I would like to get history books because I would love to learn where everything has gone and why it isn't there anymore. I will look these books up on Amazon and see if I could get them for a decent price. I will also look at the Cal Poly library because they have a lot of sources. I will also talk to my mother about getting the sources for me since I am not on the list to check out a book from the library at Cal Poly.
4. Write down a possible EQ. Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers. At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.
A possible EQ I have is, "What is the best way to obtain the sources I need when they are non-existent?"
