Pick 2 Eslrs and describe how youve met them while doing your senior project:
Effective Learner: I've met this ESLR requirement through my research. At first, most of my articles were from measly sites that I found through googling words like 'pediatrics' or 'medicine.' After realizing I didn't get good enough information, I started seeking more scholarly sources. For some reason I didn't get my library card like everyone else freshmen year so I went up and got one at Cal Poly this year. I was able to find sites like the American Academy of Pediatrics and use search databases like proquest in order to narrow down my topic and get higher quality information. Through my service learner, I am able to obtain actual journals written for Pediatricians. In summary, my research has helped me become an effective learner.
Effective Communicator: I feel I have met this ESLR requirement through my discussions with my mentors. During the beginning of my service learning I was very shy and didn't ask a lot of questions that I had. As the months went on I realized there was no reason for that and I learned to overcome my shyness. I asked my mentors for any old journals they had that they might want to give to me. Because of this they hooked me up! I have a huge stack of amazing research papers and interesting journals in the corner of my room now. My mentor knows my what my science project is on so she even printed me a 60 page article on obesity from a site only available to physicians. If I didn't talk to her about my topic or ask her for sources I would have missed a great opportunity.
