Progress+Reports

**Progress Report** Called people no responses yet. Busy schedule, it's crunch time basically.

Currently moving forward with my project and learning the salsa. I might end up looking up a few more resources for my paper to wrap it up tightly. Also I am working on my second rough draft then I will be wrapping up my paper and turning it into it's final form. A lot to do this week outside of the project so I'm thinking I might have to move some things around in terms of my schedule. Still looking for a salsa partner, but it's not necessary for my project because the salsa can be done with a partner or alone.
 * Progress Report**

So far I have tried to contact numerous people in order to help me however i haven't gotten much feedback as of yet. Will try to contact a couple more people and see where it leads me. Will start being more proactive in finding information as will. Need to find a few more stronger sources and start dancing the salsa
 * Progress Report **

**Progress Report** So far i have emailed a number of people who could potentially lead me to my topic expert as well as giving me additional information on my topic. I have called a contact that my mentor has given me and she was able to help more out as far as information goes. I am still in need of a topic expert and a dance partner, both of which I am currently working on. I am also working on my introduction to my paper and finding yet and still more research.


 * Mentor Progress Report

1.** I am not too familiar with the topic, however I do know where Donna wants to go with the project and what she plans to do. She wants to culturally explore the importance of salsa dancing, the benefits and effects that it has on a person and a community. As a part of understanding this, she is going to learn and do the salsa herself. She has reviewed with me the sources she has found and I am currently going to give her another source that could potentially lead her to a topic expert.
 * 2.** I feel that she has done a good job in researching about her topic and looking for topic experts. She has emailed and spoke with a couple of people and I think she is progressing well.
 * 3.** Donna has needed the most guidance in organization, as far as what she wants to do, and when she is going to do something, such as talking to someone. She has just needed to get things done, without feeling stressed about the amount of work, but now she seems to be on a roll. I am willing to push her and keep her on track.
 * 4.** Her next step for her research will be getting her thesis into a set thesis from a tentative thesis. This will involve finding more research on a narrower scale, a much more focused search on the culture and the influences and benefits of salsa. As she does this, she will be able to start her paper and put her thoughts down in order, while starting to know how and what she will say for her presentation.
 * 5.** Her next steps will be finding a topic expert and dance partner, learning the salsa, and finally performing it. Another thing I think would be good for her to do is to visit some salsa clubs and go dancing, if that's possible, as well as perform some interviews. I think that through this experience she will be able to see the benefits and influence that it has on herself and derive from others the experience it has on them as well.
