• their answer: She said she would be interning/working for his uncle this summer because his uncle works in music industry as well.
• What feedback did you offer them in response?: I suggested that she should get it done as soon as possible because in case she realized that topic doesn't seem to interest her. She can always pick another topic and be able to to complete the 10 hrs in time.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

• their answer: I expect to see how the 2hr presentation works. I hope to see confident and interesting senior projects.
• What suggestions did give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?: Try to observe and see how the powerpoint and the whole presentation is broken down into sections. And base from that, think whether you can present like that with the topic you choose.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.

• questions they had:  How does senior project works?
• What additional recommendations did you give them?: I just told her that if she's sure about her topic, she can start doing the research early on. Because even if you do everything on time, at one point you just feels too stressed out with too much stuff due on a friday. So I told her its better to get ahead.
