EQ: "What is the crime scene investigation position most important to prosecuting a criminal?"

(1) Define possible terms in your EQ (e.g. successful, effective).  
most important




(2) So far based on your research, what are possible answers to your EQ? 
there are the detectives, forensic anthropologists, and forensic psychologists so far.

(3) What has been your most important printed source and why?
the most important printed out source would probably be "Crime Scene Investigation" by Lt. Raymond E. Foster because he gave me different types of jobs in CSI and new technology used in crime scenes that could help the investigators. he also gives tips on how to keep the scene clean; it's important.

Idea Approval

• What would you like to do/create for your independent component? 

I am still not sure what I would like to do for my independent component but maybe I could watch the ID channel (Investigation Discovery Channel) and watch the criminal cases or I could go watch public trials.

• Explain how you think this will be a worthwhile use of 30 hours?

I think this will be a worthwhile use of 30 hours because the television entertains me and i like to watch those kind of shows, plus they are informational and explain about the crime and who works on the case. Trials argue about the cases and bring in information.

• How will this help you to answer your EQ?

 This will help me answer my EQ because like I said, the ID Channel shows the jobs of people and the cases and show how the cases are solved, or why they can't be solved.

Interview Reflection #1

What is the most important thing I learned from the interview and why?

The most important thing I learned from my interview was probably the types of things detectives work on because they have to do a lot of things and work with different types of cases. for example, they work with FCU (Family Crime Unit) and VIP ( Victim Impact Program). This means that a detective's work is not as easy as in T.V shows and they have to be ready for anything.

Five-Minute Presentation Reflection

1) What would you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

I think that the different types of jobs I talked about in my presentation stood out the most because people only knew the obvious ones like detectives and forensics. And also the fact I gave about having facial hair in order to be a police officer.

2) What was most challenging to do and why?

I think the most challenging thing to do was not giving away too much because I won't be counted on it in my 2 hour presentation. There was a lot to talk about and it was difficult not to give away too much.
