The main one that stood out to me is the AWK format, I understand that my question is still in its building phase and though I knew what I want to do and how I am going to do it I need to understand the gap in the bank of knowledge first. Essentially my RQ cannot be fully done until I know which oils, and methods to do and what I would rather focus on whether it be hair length retention, hair growth or hair thickness. Im planning to see what's not as available or as certain there is currently several studies on holistic a botanical oils but if I don't know what the better oils are on the market rn are then idk what to start. But I found an amazing source.

I dismissed a lot of cancer research because I didn't think it would help my case but my teacher told me to look deeper into them and surely enough my last resource for the 5 minimum was alopecia/cancer ish research. I feel like I dismissed them originally because obviously I cant get my hands on whatever they used to help with hair growth but their methodology and findings could help me figure out what to do when it comes to my methodology.

I think the ones that addressed different hair types. It was a factor I was already considering depending on how well some hair type take moisture and how well it retains it could have a great affect on how well someone takes it. Furthermore, I genuinely do not know if I should focus on one hair type or mutliple and see what works best for each since I probably won't be able to get access to enough people who are willing to participate with one hair texture.

Im worried about not being able to find a proper bank of knowledge and able to conduct my research properly. It will very much suck because I will have to find a new topic and honestly I have no clue how I can go about this

I think it was horrendous how they treated some people in the name of science. While I think it may have been necessary and that one guy said I don't think we would have had a lot of the medical movements that we did if we didn't have these people to do it for us. Furthermore, ethical practice is important to keep people safe. To make sure that we are not risking the lives of innocent people in the name of 'science'. I do not support sciences that put people in danger, especially those who didn't do anything morally wrong. Being the 'wrong' race is not justification for such treatment.

Did not finish my AB I don't wanna do it if I am being honest. I know the college board wants me to prove I did it a certain way and that's why Ms Pilversack is making me do this but I literally cannot write a summary and why its going to help me because its repeptive the summary is why its going to help me and how it did before bru. But I am happy with the sources I found I don't like how sometimes the link doesn't take me back to the website I got it from but another website. I think its weird and sometimes it wont let me see the full thing.

Dear Maheshavari Patel,

I am a highschool student in South East Alamance Highschool in Haw River North Carolina, I am currently writing and doing a research project on hair and how different factors can increase or decrease hair growth for my AP Research class. I want to do this project because I myself struggled with hair loss as a teenager due to stress and other life factors I have dealt with. In my project I want to be able to help teenagers understand in a simpler sense what their hair is and what their outside life has to affect for their hair loss contribution, additionally I want teenagers to have access to understanding what hair loss is and how to combat it without buying extreme over the counter medication in hopes of replenishing their hair. I want to perform a study on teenagers who experience high stress levels in school due to rigorous course scheduling, sports participation and clubs or other forms of outside participation and how it affects their hair.

I initially saw your name in the research paper you co-authored "Rosmagain™ as a natural therapeutic for hair regrowth and scalp health: A double-blind, randomized, three-armed, placebo-controlled clinical trial." This paper alone will help me tremendously in my study but then when I looked more about you I realized you spend a lot of your life's work in this field specifically Herbal, Natural Health Products. My plan for my study is to see how different botanical oils affect hair growth and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. I noticed that you consistently work in dermatology and other fields similar to such. I would love to have a meeting with you and be able to understand more about the field and more about your research. More so, I would love for you to be my expert advisor in my study. I understand you most likely have a busy schedule but I also hope you can find time to meet with me. As per being my expert advisor if you accept the idea I can explain what you are and are not allowed to do as my expert advisor per the college board guidelines. We would not have to meet consistently daily and maybe even weekly just enough so I know I am going in the right direction with my research.

I really hope you take my question into consideration and help me understand how to do this research properly. I really enjoyed reading your work and your bibliography on Cureus. I find it awing that someone spends so much time in the field I dream to be a part of one day in the near future.

Thank you for your consideration,

Pabce Maldonado

They told us to grab certain colors, I think it would have been better if they gave us more directional spatial like This is the part that needs to be in the front of you or facing opposite of you. It would also be better if they gave us some pictures.

For the college board and why it was delayed-- I am sick right now waiting for test results

I really liked my final presentation in AP Seminar, I don't know what my final score was but I did pass. I hope in my presentation I have better clothes that make me look a little bit more professional, I also hope that I am able to speak clearly and not worry to much on time. I never really have a problem speaking publicly but I do tend to speed up with my speech. I naturally speak pretty fast so I don't necessarily realize how fast I am going and I have to pay attention to that when I am presenting.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry that I won't get enough participants to divide into multiple groups. I need an ABSOLUTE minimum of 12. Even then that would be pretty bad when it comes to my experiment. Another thing I am growing more concerned about is allergens people may face. I obviously am going to take into account allergens but the scalp is a very sensitive place and it could cause break outs, clogging, irritation and burning in the worst case scenario. I hope that everyone is honest with me about their allergens so I don't give them an oil that could trigger their allergy. Furthermore I hope that I don't run into many allergies. Another thing I could struggle with is consent forms and people understanding their dues.

# data[].attributes.body
The high scoring samples I reviewed make it pretty clear why they must research this. They go into detail about what is the best option for them and why they do not have the proper knowledge to assume one position without further research. They prove that though there is research already out there that proves some of their points there is still faults in their analysis and stuff like that.

# data[].attributes.body
My principal approved me and I got my first set of participants.

# data[].attributes.body
After you chose your research question/project goal, which information guided your choice of research method/article process?

I have to measure people's hair to see which option would provide the better hair growth technique. Although many people swear by hair oiling stressful environments in general could also cause health problems that include hair loss. Therefore I chose to look at both hair oiling and stress management techniques to view this from a first hand perspective.

There is also not enough research out there on teenagers specifically with all the horomones they are experiencing at the time.

# data[].attributes.body
How is the method/process you chose aligned with the purpose of your research? Which methods did you consider and reject?

I could've simply chosen a meta analysis or a correlational study but neither of those would give me the actual outcome. Though a correlational study would show me correlations, it would not also show me a causation, as you may know, correlation does not equal causation. As for the meta analysis, it would be very hard to find studies that look at both of these factors without an underlying health problem. I am looking for teenage girls in highschool who may be experiencing life stressors. This method that I chose to experiment and view the outcome of people who are in these situations would show me accurate results.

Mostly grammar suggestions, however I basically have to restart my essay because no one signed up for my survey experiment...

That suggestion really makes me look at my grammar and spelling because I know once I hit a flow state I don't really pay attention to words or grammar, I mainly focus on the information being put down.

# data[].attributes.body
I fell asleep waiting for it to load...

check grammar and spelling

# data[].attributes.body
If I had 2-3 extra months to work on my project I would take more time to study the length of the hair, study the scalp and how much has stress levels decreased. In order to see the correlation between stress/botanical factors and stress. This would also allow me to be more in detail when asking questions and talking to people as I can space it out more often rather than doing a bunch of people in one day.

# data[].attributes.body
1) She emphasized towards the end how necessary it was to be specific and not just blabble on about what you learned. Make sure it aligns with your research question.

2) This can help me specifically because my original research question is "To what extent does external stress and botanical factors affect hair growth and length retention in highschool students?" so far I have found more change in the overall scalp health versus hair length etc etc.

3) In my experiment just overall change, the photos can be used and shown as how things are changing. So far in one of my participants I have noticed a significant decrease in dandruff, and in another oil.

I AM WRAPPING UPPP omg I couldn't do the exact data collection the way I wanted to but I got enough.

I will use both histograms, bar graphs and scatter plots for my data. line graphs are gonna be my main thing to show

# data[].attributes.body
What characteristics made the results easy to understand?

She used a lot of academic writing and language but she explained the graphs and set them up in a way that made sense. Like chronologically I guess....

I think I am going to keep this paper to learn how to write academically specifically.

# data[].attributes.body
I took pictures, interviews and consistency checks.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the obstacle I faced was the consistency of the participants. At first I thought they would just let me know everytime they did it, instead I had to set a nightly reminder to them to let them know that they had to let me know if they completed their task or not. Eventually for my oil Group I even made them specify whether or not the washed their hair that day or not.

The main idea of my paper was to see how much affect external stress factors can affect hair growth and what the best treatments could be for them

POD 2.3: What criteria did you use to discriminate among the perspectives in order to reach a conclusion?

A lot of my studies were not specific towards females aged 16-18 years old so I had to really think about what could be generalized such as sleep factors and stress factors but I also had to dive deep on how hormonal changes could affect young girls

POD 2.4: How might your conclusions/findings relate to the current body of work in the community or field?

Many people have struggled with hair loss, and stressful environment and not knowing how to cope. My study just highlights and improves the knowledge in the field so people can learn and adjust.

POD 2.5: What might be the real-world implications or consequences (influences on others’ behaviors, decision-making processes, or discoveries) related to your findings?

Specifically schools learning how to teach stress management and self care that is not taught at home.

What has been the most helpful peer feedback on your Academic Paper, and how did you/do you plan to use it to revise your paper?

Mainly grammar issues and some of my wording is confusing.Try to simplify my wording and fix my grammar

What is one idea that you gained from reading a peer academic paper that you can apply to you own paper?

How I organize my graphs, Ill make my graphs simpler

POD 2.3: What criteria did you use to discriminate among the perspectives in order to reach a conclusion?

A lot of my research wasn't centered about teenage girls. So I had to read between the lines, figure out which of the research could be generalized etc.

# data[].attributes.body
How did you prepare for and create your presentation?

Notes on the main topics of each slide, timing, asking people to ask me questions. I genuinely just found a template and followed the checklist.

What feedback did you receive when practicing?  How did you use the feedback to help prepare for your presentation?

Talk slower, and define somethings that I didn't define before ( I thought it was common knowledge) I noted that these words should be a little more in detailed or at least have more of a build up than other words.

# data[].attributes.body
This one makes me feel so proud everytime I look at it. It makes me remember how I made sure ever, this also showed how I worked through everything and how I made my conclusions
