What is a Senior Research Project?
At BASIS Tucson, seniors have the chance to propose an independent research project that takes place off campus during the last trimester of the year. The seniors whose proposals are accepted write their own syllabi and then head off into the world, to a site where they conduct their research while interning with a professional in the field. Those of us stuck on campus follow their adventures on this blog. Now that the projects are over, we are all excited to attend their presentations. The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, May 11, 6-8 PM
at the U of A Poetry Center (environmentalism projects)
Sierra Cordova, Nicole Rapatan, Zobella Vinik and Dany Joumaa (see titles of projects, below)
Saturday, May 14, 10-12 AM
at The Loft Cinema (arts projects)
Clarice Bales, Samone Isom, Josh Waterman and Angelynn Khoo (see titles of projects, below)
Monday, May 16, 6-8 PM

I've actually been reading a handful of biographies of Jackson and have learned the art of perseverance from him.
Like when he was in a duel once, he was hit in the chest. He covered his excessively bleeding chest, so as to not end the duel prematurely, and proceeded to shoot and kill his opponent. Due to the proximity of the bullet to Jackson's heart, doctors couldn't remove the bullet. Then years later, he was in another duel, and was shot in the arm (but would of course go on to win the duel), and as Jackson was fading in and out of consciousness, the doctor was ready to amputate; Jackson muttered, "I'd rather keep my arm." Again, the bullet stayed in his body. And he kept the arm.
Bed-ridden and battling dysentery, Jackson answered then President Madison's call to war, commanded 2,500 soldiers in battle, and proved why one must never give up.
I aspire to be as brave as Jackson... One day...
That man was a true American Lion. I've started to emulate him by growing out my mane, but I'm afraid it started to look a bit too much like CALHOUUUUN's
Jackson would shoot down his opponents. Or, in the event that he was without a gun, he would strangle them with his bare hands. As admirable as his determination was, I doubt his ability to properly recognize the appropriate treatment of an "enemy",as seen by his actions among the Sentinal. So, I don't think I'll emulate him too much.
Astute and true, Samone! The real point of asking what would he do is perhaps not to emulate him but to understand the reasons for his actions, for through understanding comes progress (hopefully, though at times I doubt it).
