Individual Blog - Wiki

This week I researched the problem that the unrelability of Wikipedia creates and the extent of this problem. I wrote my findings in the Background section of the White paper, to be edited and added to by my other group members when we meet to write the paper. I will continue researching my respective area of the problem and continue to add to my section this upcoming week.

Topic Proposal: Students facebook account can affect employment

Student's privacy is violated on Facebook when perspective employeers access their facebook accounts. They can see inappropriate behavior in the form of pictures, wall writings, videos, or on the many other applications available. Employeers can judge a student inaccurately based upon things that other people write on their facebook account. Employeers should not be able to access a students facebook account and Facebook should provide more privacy settings to prevent this. Facebook is a fun site for college students and should only be for college students.

Job Experience

I worked with other lab members to implement an inventory tracking system to manage the lab supplies since many chemicals were being exhausted without proper notification. I did Vitamin C testing on nutritional products and 4day stability testing, which included pH, color, viscosity, grain, and cream testing. I learned about the industrial nutritional field and the importance of analytical testing and proper documentation.
