I've spent around 6 hours on my project this week. I have attended class, updated my blog, and have created a rough draft of my survey that I am bringing to class tomorrow.
What did you do that was hands on?
I notice a lack of hands on in my project this week so far, I have done a lot more research. In order to balance this out my goal is to finalize more interviews as well as start brainstorming my article I am writing to the Ithaca Journal.
What research did you do?
I was at the library a lot this week. It's a great resource, so far I have been able to find city records on many developments that have happened in the city of Ithaca. In particular, information on Lake Source Cooling, the Wal-Mart development, and proposed plans of the Southwest neighborhood development that has not happened yet. I also found city records of the Waterfront Trail and have been looking at how the political groups committees and government interacted with all of them.
Did you meet with your mentor?
I met with Ms. Shenk on Tuesday morning.
Do you have at least 3 journal entries?
Yes I do.
Were you in class this week? Did you have and use your journal?
Yes I was in class, and I answered the questions from "Happiness Revisited" that evening.
Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was...?
Adequate. I spent the majority of the on research and would like to involve myself with more hands on. However I am pleased with the effort I put into the research and have now have plenty! of sources for my project.
What are your plans for next week?
My plans for next week are to:
- Interview or e-mail interview a city official
- By next weekend have conducted my survey in Ithaca (the first time, I suspect I may go out more than once to gather enough data)
- Keep up with the at least 8 hours a week, and blogging.
Hey Audra, your project was picking up and now it's almost been a week since your last entry...get back in the game, please!
