Assignment 5

For the 8:30 class:  We will prepare a list of questions to ask the various SHU people whom you will interview.  Thus you don't have to interview anyone over the weekend.  Instead, continue working on your chart, adding both to the points on the left-column and to the authors on the right-hand column.  I recommend strongly that you read an article that focuses on the admissions policies of a particular school.  (There are a few in the MediaCenter database.)  You can also add yourself as one of the authors, so that you begin to articulate your position on the issue.  (See chart below.) 

For the 1:00 class:  We may have a debate after all, depending on what people read for Monday.  You should read an article that helps you think more about your essay question/position (see MediaCenter in Learning Space).  As I mentioned in class, I think for most (if not all) of you, it would be helpful to narrow your topic by focusing on a particular issue.  Continue working on your chart, adding both to the points on the left-column and to the authors on the right-hand column.  You can also add yourself as one of the authors, so that you begin to articulate your position on the issue.  (See chart below.)  

My question:  What form should affirmative action take in education today?
