2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
I learned that certain interrogative techniques that we've been so use to seeing on popular TV shows actually don't work when interrogating people. I also learned that lie detectors have no scientific backing and actually do not work but are more of "theater show" to scare criminals. I learned this from an interrogation teacher from Faulkner University, Lou Harris and an article from Psychology Today "Do Lie Detectors Work?" by Nigel Barber, Ph.D.
