Final Questions

1. What was your favorite part of the topic you chose? 

Probably just researching and analyzing different information from different sources and finding similarities that different scientists and researchers all agree on. I'm also a huge geek and I like zombie stuff, so it's pretty cool (and also terrifying) to find some truth in something everyone thinks is completely fictional.

2. What was your least favorite part of the topic you chose?

Having to sort through bad information and find good resources. A lot of  other sources I looked through had a lot of fallacies and misinformation, so I head to spend a lot of time finding good resources. 

3. What do you like best about Genius Hour research?

The fact that I get to choose what I research so that I actually enjoy and am interested in what I'm researching.

4. What do you like least about Genius Hour research?

What's there to dislike? I'm getting a grade for doing something I enjoy. That gives me the motivation to do it, and I enjoy doing it. I'd say the only thing I don't really like is having time frames to complete the work, but that's how most things are in life and this is sort of practice for it.

5. What was the most important thing you learned about yourself, how you learn, or research in general as a result of this work?

I learned that I do research best in a certain environment. I can't seem to focus in places with lots of noise and other people, because I get easily distracted. I also learned that there are a lot of stupid people on the Internet that post wrong information, and when researching, one must be extremely careful of this incorrect information.
