Capstone Presentation

The overall experience of capstone was quite overwhelming and frustrating, as it seems that we were required to make an end product that is supposed to be effective and yet feasible.

It involved extensive editing of my thesis, my topic, my issue, and my paper to finally create the final product, but in the end, it all worked out. There were times where it did consume my entire Monday night or so forth, but this was partly because of my lack of time management and procrastination. It seems that some of the work that was done within the capstone course didn't seem necessary and could certainly have been left out, leaving a less stressful and time consuming curriculum. Nonetheless, the only I can show at this point is gratitude with the fact that it is all over, senior year is coming to a close, and I can look back ten, twenty, even thirty years down the line and think of how ridiculous it was that a capstone project was a required component in the program. Overall, I have relief and one less thing to worry about between now and the time I graduate.

One sentence that encompasses or contains the conflict of the project.
  • As mutations occur in tumor suppressor genes, inhibition occurs and often the damage is too far beyond repair.
Subtitle/ Log line that gives more info.
  •  When inhibition occurs, the body is then opened to giving rise to cancerous cells

Video Interviews?

Two people I could interview while filming for my capstone project:

One would certainly be my mentor and Biology professor, Professor Vanderlaan. The reason why I chose him was because he is guiding me and providing advice for the progress of my capstone and is also familiar with the field I;m working with. Dr. Vanderlaan has a Ph.D and taught my first semester of Biology.

The next person I would interview would be someone that works at a cancer treatment center, maybe an oncologist at a local hospital. Why? Because the oncologist would be familiar with exactly what cancer is along with the genes and terminology I am researching about.
