Ms. McDonald Contact 6/5

Contact with Ms. McDonald

Date of contact: June 5, 2017
Contact: Ms. McDonald
Reference: Fiddler crab project
Discussion: Ms. McDonald, D. D'Albero, and I talked about what our project entails. Ms. McDonald told us that we would count fiddler crabs, Uca minax, twice a month at Spermaceti Cove. We would record the weather, temperature, wind speed, amount of crabs on both sides of the boardwalk, and any other observations we deem important. She also told us that our project requires us to upkeep a blog and write about everything that we are doing on said blog. Lastly, D. D'Albero and I were told to begin reading about fiddler crabs and their environment and morphology. It was advised that we start early and start learning absolutely everything about the crabs, as we would have to write a research paper regarding our project and research.
Conclusion: I will start to read about fiddler crabs and scheduling my plans around the times I need to count fiddler crabs. Should I be unable to go to a counting session, I will make sure that D. D'Albero is going, or find a replacement for myself.

What I've Done I presented my formal progress update for the third marking period. I also began my discussion yesterday and emailed both my discussion and results portion of my scientific research paper to my mentor, Mrs. Zrada, to be revised. Plans for Today I plan to use Mrs. Zrada's corrections to tweak my results and discussion sections to be more accurate and professional-sounding. After I make the necessary corrections, I will hand in my abstract, results, and discussion, as they are all due today, 10 April. Plans for the Future I will begin working on my marking period four work once I receive the syllabus for the quarter.
