Where Am I?

As of today for my proposal i am currently on the procedures/techniques, and resources. What i am working with right now is trying to do my timeline, and making up questions for surveys and interviews. Another part that i am trying to do as well as with the other things are trying to explain what i need for the project its self. Today i did some research on a variety of colleges to so if they had basketball as one of their sports and whether it was a small or large college/university. I was and still am trying to add things/information to my timeline. My next step will be for me to actually have the majority of my timeline finished and to have a few surveys and interviews finished and revised fro and adult.

Did You Know?

Did You Know?


Notes
· There’s a difference in attending a large college or university from a small one.

· Basketball was invented in 1891

· Ohio State University [largest]

· You have to be recruited to play on a college team

· Small colleges also offer students a less regimented course load

· Small colleges or large colleges are not small because they're unpopular, nor more popular.

· Larger schools tend to have larger classes, especially at the freshman level.

Information

As of today October 23 i have a finished webliograpy and questions. So now i am focusing on my proposal rough draft. Here and there i work on different parts of my proposal and other times i might just google things about college basketball and colleges. It feels as if i don't have anything to really work on as hard as i did with my other things right now. So i think i am going to look over different papers and trace my steps and make sure that i am doing everything right and having it turned in on time.

ii HAVE MY TOPiiC!

I think i actually have my topic now. For my graduation project i am going to do something that i actually like to do and want to continue to do. I am going not do "How can i get recognized from La Roche college to play basketball?" That seems pointless and easy at the same time but it actually isn't. I want to do that because i want to choose something i want to proceed in afteer high school.

ii THiiNK iiM LOST AGAiiN..WELL KiiNDA!!

Mrs. Savido and I talked a couple days ago about the topics i wanted to do. I was on a roll for a little bit about the topic that i was going to do, but now i forget what the topic was about or even what it was. The only thing i remember or at least think i remember is that it was something like "How can i get recognized from La Roche College to play basketball and how can i get recognized to get into the school?" That is what we was talking about but now i don't know how i can do that or what it would even be about. I actually don't understand the topic or the project. So Mrs. Savido can you help me out? I would like to proceed with that topic because out of the other topics i was going to choose they all come together with this one. I was going to do something about basketball and i would be getting recognized and the other was teaching and daycare. That is involved in it somehow i just don't know yet.

I'm so lost right now. I had about 2 topics one about coaching a basketball team. I saw that another student was doing almost the same thing so that made me change my mind. I also wanted to do teaching but i don't know what yet. I am just lost and have no idea now. So can someone help me out! I really need it!

TOPiiCS!!

I haven't came up with any more ideas just yet. I still want to do my grad project on coaching a basketball team but i am not sure if i will stick with that topic. I know that if it's not coaching a basketball team it will be about teaching. I still don't have mant ideas about teaching but i do know that i want it to be about that. But from the information that i have so far on each of the topics i have more about basketball so i am thinking of sticking with that idea.

New Topic

As i said in the other blogs i want to do something about teaching or daycare, but i have changed my mind I know what to do some on basketball. I am interested in basketball so I was thinking of doing something on basketball coaching. where i can create and coach a team and enter them into some competition. I could interview the team and other coach's on how to be a better basketball coach. I could have someone tape some of our practices to show how i interact with all of the kids and such.

More about the topics!

I still don't have any clue about what topic i want to look into or choose yet. I know the different things i like and might want to choose from but i don't know what i would do the project on specifically.
The different choices i would like to choose from or that i like is:
  • Something on teaching
  • Something on childcare
  • Something on basketball
  • Something about track

I don't know what i would like to do with those three choices but i do know that i would most likely want to do my project on one of those.

Graduation project topic

I don't have a specific topic that i want to do for my graduation project just yet. However I do have a few things in mind that may help me find a topic to pick. I think that i would like to do it on something about teaching or daycare i don't know just what about them though. Or either about sports or a specific sport such as basketball. Teaching and daycare is my career that i would like to do in the future and basketball is a hobby and activity i like to do, that's why i am thinking about doing my topic on one of those. As i said before this is just what i am thinking about so i know that it will change.
