Monday, Jan 26th - 'Obviously, you're not a golfer'

Free-writing at the start of class: Spend around 10 minutes trying to write out any and all problems or controversies you can come up with that relate to your field. If you are currently in one major and thinking of switching, write about your choice of one or both of these majors. If you're not sure of your major and can't even think of a field you MIGHT be into - then try and write about some CURRENT issue going on in the world right now. Some questions that might help you brainstorm issues - what does it mean to be a student of this field? What are potential jobs I could get after I get my degree? Are there any gender issues related to this field?


Homework: In preparation of our visits to the library this week, you'll be making a blog post explaining one or two issues you think you'd like to explore. First, read pages 147-158 and the sample student Exploratory essay on pages 163-167. Then make a post that details what you think you'd like to explore. Obviously, these aren't set in stone, but I want everybody to have something they can research. I'd like you to try and come to these things organically, but if all else fails and you can't come up with anything, try a google search for your field with terms like "issues" "controversy" or "problems".
