Self Reflection

01. How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why?  AE, P, AP, CR, or NC
I feel like I am doing P worthy work considering that I decided to change topics when I did, completing my research over again and lining up service learning opportunities. 
02. What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?
I feel like I have done well in organizing my new research after switching topics and keeping everything together in one place.
03. What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?
I would like to actually start my service learning already as opposed to waiting until January. Waiting until that point and time makes me nervous.

Science Fair Proposal

01. Hypothesis
 - If anesthesia providers do not thoroughly decontaminate surgical areas then the likely hood they will transfer bacterial infections is high.
02. Identify:
      - Dependent Variable: Bacteria Transfered
      - Independent Variable: How much bacteria is decontaminated
      - Control Variable: Surgical Areas
03. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
- My senior project is anesthesiology, and the cleanliness of the machinery used is a very important aspect to this particular area of surgery. If something is not thoroughly decontaminated the likely hood of bacterial transmission is higher, which could lead to greater complications for the patient.   
04. How will you perform the experiment?  Include the equipment you plan on using.
- I will analyze the set of data collected by those who actually conducted the experiment.
05. Which category will your project be listed under?  
- My experiment falls under the category of microbiology, it is an experiment studying the study of bacterial transmission.
