the pros and cons- senior project

The advantages and disadvantages of a mentor while doing my research for my paper are very evident. The advantages are that the mentor helps with research as well as your computer or any other book could. Me and my mentor of course talk a lot about the concept of how loud speakers can be. Surprisingly he knew a lot about what is too loud for your ears. He even had it broke down into amps and decipels to show how it could hurt hearing. Another advantage is that being with my mentor in general gives me a lot of general knowledge on how speakers work and the ends and outs of them. The disadvantages to the mentor during the research are of course time. But for me it is nothing that could stop me from completely my project. So at times it might be hard to work with the time that I have. But I take my time and work around my work and school schedule. I’m not going to let nothing stop me from graduating so I can say that there are really no disadvantages in this project. My research perspective was changed by my mentor. I say this because at first I was just going to explain the ends and outs of a subwoofer. But my mentor told me that this was something that most people know about. So he told me to tell people how the subwoofer or loud music could harm your ears. He also told me to explain how important and dangerous it is to have music in your car or vehicle. So basically my mentor told me to explain the advantage and disadvantages of music and how it could hurt your ears. Those are the advantages and disadvantages of a mentor while researching and writing the paper, and how my mentor changed the research perspective of my project. THANKS!!
