Blog 12 - Holiday Project Update



1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?
I called more people who are linked with forensics and actually came across a Forensic Science Academy. I got in contact with Terri Armenta and she agreed to be my mentor and offer me courses to take at the academy. Then, I got in contact with Officer Yzaguirre from Ontario Police Department and took me on a ride along to get a real life view of a first responder of a crime. I also got a tour of the police department and some of the forensic labs.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?The most important thing that I learned was that forensics needs to be taken more seriously because it is a very tedious job that requires a lot of patience. Jill Padilla, a forensic specialist I spoke to, told me about this problem and how it makes her job harder.



3.  Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?
I plan to talk to my mentor, Terri, or probably Jill because I have already talked to Jill about what I'm leaning more towards in forensics. Because my EQ is based on human error on analysis of crimes, Jill has told me situations she has ran into because of common human error. Also I thinks she has some ideas on how to find a solution to this problem.
