3/3/17
Met with Mr. Hathorn and talked about my progress on my EE.
On about 2/27/17 I had found more sources for my EE research and 2 books online that should be useful as sources but I need to check with the library or Half Price Books to see if I can get these to use. I hope that I can use them as they have pertinent information on my topic.
Mr. Hathorn suggested I find information on general outcomes of Nazis and such from WW2 since it has been difficult to find resources for progress in medical sciences exclusively from human experimentation. Will check with that over Spring Break. I will also research for videos and check their sources to see if I can find more information on advances made from the inhumane experimentation in Japan, Germany, and America.
It has been nigh impossible to find benefits stemming from the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, but I believe I can find it I just need to find the right source. Maybe an article or specific book?

Weird Quotes I've found Throughout Research
"(the perfect German man) thrives only on a steady diet of slaughter" - The Biological Sublime (not sure if I'll use this source)

Current Research Question:
How did the human experiments in Unit 731, Nazi Germany, and the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment impact modern medical practices and how we treat research patients?
or
How have benefits in medical practice derived from human experimentation on racial groups in both the Axis and Allied countries of Japan, Germany, and the United States from 1932-1945?
To what extent did human experimentation on racial groups in both the Axis and Allied countries of Japan, Germany, and the United States from 1932-1945 contribute to modern medical practices/procedures?

Woodrow Library
I spent the morning finding more about how the EE is graded and scored as well as look at an example essay. we graded the essay and were given the actual scores with feedback. It was tedious but I learned more about how I will need to write my essay to get the maximum amount of points. I also worked on organizing my research and sources.
Grading of the Extended Essay was more in depth than I previously thought, with each score having at least 1 sub-section with a score from 0-6. Each area has different criteria which during the writing of my own essay, I will follow to the "t" and work on getting at least 24/28 of the possible points on the Essay. I learned how to read the rubric which will assist in my essay.

Dallas Public Library Jonsson Library
While at the DPL and Woodrow Library in the afternoon, I mainly looked over my previous sources in more detail so I could weed through them before finding more sources. This is due to the fact that I failed to have a laptop with me at the library, so I couldn't look up new sources as easily. I did, however, find that for further research at the DPL I need to go to the 7th floor for History and finding more information. I think that this area of the library will have vital information for my research and perhaps even some primary sources about the human experimentation such as newspaper articles or recordings or interviews of scientists or victims of the experimentation.
I feel like I could have better used my time at the library, but I plan on going back and spending more than just 2 hours there, this time spending a full day exclusively finding sources for my research.

SMU Library and Computer Lab
We spent the day researching at SMU in their library and computer lab. I solidified my goal of my research topic being about Human Experimentation and found many possible resources using the SMU Online Database and saved them on my IB flashdrive. I decided to have the areas of human experimentation I'll talk about in my Essay be
While in the research lab, I drew out a dry-erase board Idea Board on what my subjects were and what I could discuss about them.
Overall my experience at SMU was tedious from searching through all of the databases and pdf files of journals and studies, but I found some sources that I will definitely be using in my Essay if I continue on my current track of research
