I applaud you for how meticulous you were in your pre-planning process and your current writing process. It is definitely not easy to undergo so many background stages and write so much, but it looks like you have found your rhythm and feel much more comfortable now. I am very curious to see how your charts looks and what this research paper will end up reading like. Keeping up the great work.

Comment on Mid-Summer Check-In

I am very impressed with how far you have gotten in your project and how much research material you've collected so far. Although I'm studying a legal provision, I empathize with you because there are very few resources that are free and available to the general public or an undergraduate student. However, your commitment has shown through, by creating such an intriguing project. This past semester, I took a Religion in Ethics and World Affairs class, so I have some prior knowledge on this topics. With that being said, I would love to see the in-depth explanation of your topic and how you implement the foundation's principles into it. Keep up the good work.

Comment on LiA Week 2 Journal

I applaud you for wanting to go beyond the typical textual information that is found in research, this just shows how committed you are to learning as much as possible in your field. While I am conducting my first research project for the foundation and not my Leadership in Action, I find it amazing how correlated our projects are. I may be focusing on financial auditing standards and not equity auditing, but the intersection of these two types of company reports is found in all walks of business. I am curious to know what you will do with the results from the Readings audit, and how that will affect its community members. Looking forward to reading more of your updates later on.

I have never heard the term "Neo-Ottomanism" used before, so I am extremely curious to see your critique of this diction choice when put up against events of Turkish history. This is definitely a topic I have no knowledge about, but it seems like a really interesting topic learn about in later presentations. As far as writing roadblocks, I sympathize with you. From creating your own research idea to your own prompt and outline is no easy task, but I commend you for asking for help and having such a close relationship with your faculty mentor. Good luck on your next week of writing.

I applaud the drive and initiative you took to properly teach and describe how to conduct FIT tests for colon cancer screening. Being able to not only run an exercise class but also go beyond your job description and aid people in need shows truly leadership. Couple this with your attentive listening and sympathy for others and you will produce a great report in the coming weeks. Looking forward to seeing your progress in this Leadership in Action project. 

Wow, I would have never imagined how serious the problem of artistic expression was in the People’s Republic of China. I think as a collective society, people usually are too broad with their descriptions of the daily life in China; usually inaccurate overgeneralizations that only focus on violence issued for dissent rather than individual curiosities. So, I give you a lot of praise for raising awareness on the struggles of the native citizens. Not knowing much about music apart from what I listen to, I am excited to see how you present your findings, which research methodologies you will use, and to see how far back this problem has gone. Looking forward to hearing updates on your project, keep up the good work. 

I find it quite amazing how you are diving into language, a sector of political economy that is often suppressed or not given the proper attention. You mentioned a few components of societal progression that language and economics influence (i.e. education and trade), but I am curious as to which one, if not those examples, you will talk about on your final poster. Since Morocco is predominantly run through standard Arabic, I applaud you for trying to reach your roots and tackle such a tough topic. Geographically, the country is so close to other Arabic-speaking countries so there may be consistent realities in the region that could be interesting to explore. Keep up the good work, look forward to reading more about your project in the future.
