Reflection paragraph on process

      My findings were very easy, and I found everything i need, but the project it self was very straight forward for the most part. The thing I enjoyed the most was that i found what i needed to know about my topic. I disliked how it wasn't as straight forward as I wanted it to be. If I had this same project again i would do nothing different. The reason for that is because i found everything i needed to know and it. If I did do it again i would probably change my topic to doing an EMT job. I think i would like to know more about that job. 

Reflection Paragraph on Source

          My findings were good. I found an answer to every question that i had to know about my topic. My most useful source was www.icsia.org/faq.html this website because i would find the most information on this website. My most trustworthy website is www.floridatechonline.com › Online Degree Resources‎ because it's a online college and they tell what the job will be consisting of because they have to teach it to the students at that college. The one that is obviously bias is forensics.rice.edu/. I think it's most bias because it's their opinion that which college is better then the other one.

I want to become a Crime Scene Investigator. What should I do first?

First and foremost, finish high school and get your diploma. The best way to become a CSI is to get a college education. Once you have your degree, you can become a police officer, and then become a CSI. You will find a more detailed explanation in the sections below.

What kind of degree should I get to become a CSI?

Forensic Science is the best major to choose if you wish to become a CSI. You can get an Associate’s degree (2-year) or Bachelor’s degree (4-year). Keep in mind that many police departments will require a Bachelor’s degree. However, you could also study Criminal Justice or Criminology, but you will still want to have a focus on Forensics. If you have a Bachelor’s degree, go after a Master’s degree, which will greatly improve your value when you are applying for the job. In general, you will also earn a higher salary with a Master’s degree.

CSI investigator

What I want to know about my topic

 During this research project I hope to learn the answers to these five questions...

1. What are the skills and education requirements to be a CSI Investigator?

2. What are the top 5 colleges offers being a CSI Investigator?

3. What is the GPA requirement?

4. What do CSI investigators make yearly? What is their salary?

5. What does it take to be a CSI Investigator?
 

What I already know about my topic

           What I already know about my topic is that there are many categories to my topic. The main category I'm going to talk about is Special Victims Unit. I know they work all day anytime. They could be called during the night and they are on the job. There are shows that explain and show what this is. I've grew up watching these types of shows. They deal with rape victims and try to find out what happened, when it happened and why it happened. These people can be inturupted during the night when they are sleeping and be called. Also these people deal with emotional stress. They have to deal with seeing kids/adults dead. Especially kids, there is some points where they need some time off for this kind of stress. They sometime see things they don't want to see and have to deal with the sight and pain. They also go undercover and see what people go through to try and catch the purp. These people deal with things you would never think of. These people pretty much work 24/7 365 days a year. They work their heart out and work till they can't work no more. They are a special kind of police officer that deals with people that have gotten raped. These victims can be either dead or alive it don't matter they still find something to solve the case. 

The story behind my topic choice

     The story behind my topic is, when I was about nine years old, my sister was living with me and we use to stay up really late just to watch "CSI Investigation." I use to get into those shows and try to figure out who did what and who did it involve. It excited me when they come up and take pictures and examine the crime scene. The real reason why I chose this topic is because this is what I want to do when I get older. I wanna be that person that examines the crime scene and try to figure out who did what. I get excited when I see shows like those on the tv because it excites me to watch. I use to get into watching medical shows but when I started watching more and more of investigation shows I got into those. I'd rather them be the investigator of the Special Victims Unit. They interest me because they show real events and have more actions.
