Blog 12: Holiday Project Update







1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?

Over the break, I actually did work in the office at which my mentor works. All I really did was observe the patients, listen into conversations, organize files, and keep the office clean. I'm in a very difficult situation where I can't really disturb the motion of things in the office so I do my best to observe all that I can.


2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?

The most important thing that I learned was that patients enjoy talking. They enjoy communication. I believe one of the reasons for this is that older people don't really communicate with people as much as they used when they were younger. This might seem a little depressing, but that's just the way things went for them. The source of this information was just observing all the patients themselves talking to the opticians and with the Doctor.

3. Your third interview will be a 10 question interview related to possible answers for your EQ. Who do you plan to talk to and why?

I still have not planned this part out yet, but I have a few ideas. I may actually talk to an ophthalmologist across the parking lot from my current mentorship. The reason I would talk to an ophthalmologist is because they deal with the patients who fear surgery. He is a surgeon.
