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).
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.   
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?
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.

Answers

1. Nothing much has really worked for me. I have learned a lot about my topic, but I see no positive experiences that have come out of this project so far.
2. The mentorship and the interviews are the thing that bothers me the most about senior project. Mostly with the working bibliography and senior project hours log. Most of them just seem unnecessary, but with the mentorship it's just challenging. The fact that you have to find a mentor, which is incredibly difficult on its own, just isn't possible for most.
