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.

Blog 1 – Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

1.  What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?
The three lessons that were most helpful for me to see were Independent Film Making,  Preschool Special Education, and Make-Up Artistry. Here is my reason for each. In Independent Film Making the presenter was excited and new a lot about their topic and had a lot of resource and was just in general excited about their topic. That also goes for Preschool Special Education, the presenter not only loved the topic but genuinely wanted to teach about why the topic was important to them and why it should be important to others. Finally for Make-Up Artistry the presenter had her ups and downs however you could tell she was interested in the topic. The three lessons all had a interest in their topic and were all well versed in the topic to where they could speak about it with confidence. That shows me that when I do my Senior Project to be interested in my topic, to where I can have the same excitement that those presenters had when they presented their topic.

2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?

One thing that I learned about the senior project in the interviews is that getting an early start on what I want to go for my senior project and starting to slowly start working on it over the summer can help lessen the stress of the senior project as well as be better prepared for it.

 

3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

Some mentorship for police work my father knows one of the deputies at the sheriff station in Walnut. I have actually already gone on a ride along to see what it would be like to mentorship at the sheriff station.

For military work I was planning on helping the Military Explorers Headquarters to start up and help with certain things with training and organizing.
