Fieldwork Log Information

The second part of the Senior Project is an actual hands on experience related to
the proposed topic or area of study. Students choose and work with a mentor from
the community with experience directly related to their project. Students must
develop the particular scope and goals of their fieldwork and discuss them with

their mentor before they begin. You will complete a minimum of sixteen (16) hours
of fieldwork.
How is Fieldwork Documented?
You must keep track of all time that you work with your mentor, communicate
with your mentor, and work on your project independently. This information
is recorded on a fieldwork log. Your fieldwork log must include:
-

The dates you worked on your project.

A detailed description of what aspects of your project you worked on.
How much time you dedicated to that task.

You may record this information on your fieldwork log by hand but ultimately
will create a formal typed time log. You will download the fieldwork log form
the digital portfolio and type the required information. Your fieldwork log
must be verified and signed by your mentor.
What counts for fieldwork hours?
Any time that you dedicate to your fieldwork counts for hours. This includes
but is not limited:
- Consultation with mentor
- Planning
- Creating
- Execution of project
*The expectation is that you work with and communicate consistently with
your mentor throughout your project.
Academic Honesty
Academic dishonesty occurs when students obtain or assist others in
obtaining credit for work which is not their own. Students are expected to
conduct themselves according to the highest standards of personal integrity.
Students are expected to follow rules prohibiting dishonest academic behavior
that violates Mansfield High Schools standards. This includes but is not
limited to the falsification of documents such as mentor evaluations and
fieldwork logs. Whenever a student has a question about this procedure, or
any procedure, they should ask their teachers counselors, or administrators.

Fieldwork Log

fieldwork log that fulfills the requirements below. Each student will
meet with their Senior Project coordinator on each due date to discuss

a list of everything I would need to accomplish to

complete my project. We decided that the first thing I
needed to do was to get permission from the school

10/15/10

I met with Mr. Connolly to discuss what I would need to

do to reserve the basketball court for a fundraiser. I
learned that I would be required to have adult
supervision and would have to pay to have a custodian
and police office present.
I began brainstorming how I would organize the teams.
I tried to figure out how many people would be on a
team, how many teams we could have sign-up, how to
bracket the teams, and how long games could be so that
everyone could play. I also started to create a flyer to
advertise the event
