Education

This assignment is intended to allow you to continue to think about your project after you have completed writing the paper itself. You have spent nearly a full semester working on this topic, and you will do yourself a disservice if you simply consider yourself “done” as soon you turn in your research paper. The aim of this assignment, and this unit, is to encourage you to continue to engage with the scholarly conversation in which you have become involved in a mindful manner. You might even discover that you hope to continue to build upon the work that you have already done, either in your major courses, an independent study, or even as an outside-of-school project.

• Create an infographic. Infographics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.

And finally…

Reflective Letter (everyone must do)

• Write a 2-3 page reflective letter in which you explain your research process over the course of the semester and think critically about the conversion of your argument into a new form. Within this letter you should address the following:
o Give me some insight into how your research skills, critical thinking, and writing and approach to academic research have changed over the semester,
o Discuss how the different units in the course helped you to create a final project with several successful elements to it (or didn’t, if that is the case),
o Highlight what your particular (unique) contribution to your research conversation has been this semester, and maybe how you came to that contribution as your work developed,
o Highlight the work that you did this semester that you feel was particularly strong, and discuss why you feel that it was very strong and what you might have gained from having done it,
o Discuss any moments this semester that you wish you could “do over,” and why, discussing what you would have done differently if you could have that chance, and
