I started the final submission paper today, and Jesus began the website. We picked a format, and have started creating our final project. The paper will be 10 pages, with the website as a product. The website will analyze the survey in a way that is easily examined.

So far, we only have two judge who has a couple dates open. However, the dates that they have provided are both conflicting, so unless one of them changes their dates, we will have to continue searching for more judges.

Sadly, none of the other judges have responded, and even if they have, they have stopped contacting us. I have sent some follow up emails out, yet some have not responded to those either. We will continue contacting people we can find, possibly even ask friends to volunteer.

Presentations will start soon, and we will be ready when ours comes!

We started our website today, we were unable to find a template that suite the presentation so we are going to have to re-arrange another template and make it work. Since our presentation will likely not have many pictures, we will either need to generate many graphs or just use text.

Some of our judges have not responded, but we went ahead and emailed another lady suggested to us. Hopefully she will be able to judge our presentation.

As of right now, we only have 1 confirmed judge, so we cannot actually secure a time slot.

We took our panoramic senior picture today which took the majority of the class. We returned and found an additional fourteen responses bringing us to 71 responses. Not our expected number of responses but it will do. We began reviewing the remainder of the responses and have gotten in touch with our now confirmed judges to try and figure out a date for our presentation. David and I are going to be working on the paper and the website for now in order to get ready for our presentation.

Thankfully we received several responses we now have 57 responses. We started reading the responses to get a general idea of what the juniors and seniors of TAG had to say, we will be closing the survey at the end of Tuesday to allow any other students to respond to the survey during the weekend.

We have decided to compile the information we used and create a website along with the results of the survey as a final product. We will begin writing our abstract and final paper and the website next time as well.

We talked to Mr. Templet and Dr. J today, and asked both of them if they would give the extra credit. Mr. Templet agreed to think about it, and Dr. J said she would offer some for juniors as well as seniors. We asked Mr. Correa to send it out today, and hopefully we will have a lot of responses by next class. We plan to close our survey collection by Tuesday.

So far, only one of the judges has replied, and he stopped answering after the first email. Hopefully some of them will get back to us soon.

We decided to add a few more questions to our survey. I am going to be finishing up today and send it out to the senior class due to the lack of responses in the tag group. As an incentive Ms. Dewberry is going to offer a few extra credit points. We have a few possible mentors, (Thank You very much Dr. Frederick Grinnell) we have contacted them and are now working on possible presentation dates.

Today we continued our survey, but we only received 8 responses in total.
We will be sending the survey out to the TAG students, with the incentive of extra credit so we can get more responses. Hopefully a couple teachers will agree to giving extra credit.

We have also tweaked some of our questions based on what some of the responses we got said, and will be adding a couple more questions that we thought of based on their responses.

Our survey should be complete soon, and we will begin creating the final presentation shortly. With most of our research done, completing this will not be a problem.
