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 not currently have a mentor but I hope to have one in a couple of weeks. Therefore, I have not scheduled the interview yet.
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.
Criminalistics/Forensic Chemistry (basically the same thing) or Forensic DNA analysis. Criminalistics/Forensic Chemistry is a promising, more specific area of Forensic science because it involves the examination and analysis of all evidence, which allows there to be more research. Forensic DNA analysis involves the analysis of DNA that is found at a crime scene to match a suspect or victim. DNA analysis is a promising topic because it is the most exclusive tool CSI has to fight crime today and there is also a lot of controversy about the science behind it being correct.
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?
In the next month, I will continue to search the internet because I know there is a whole other side of Forensics I have yet to find. After I run out of sources online, I can check out Forensic books at the library and even look up informational videos on YouTube.
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.
What is the best way to insure that a Forensic DNA analyst is giving a correct detailed analysis of the crime so it does not lead to an innocent person being wrongly convicted?
