영어 연습 과정 2 - R.Q

research questions (use "덧글" function)

In my view, research starts with research questions. I suggested broad topics such as multiculturalism and digital culture. However, as I addressed, you can choose a topic that is meaningful to you. Research regarding a job market, for instance, can be a practical and important for some seniors. Please post your two tentative research questions (in interrogative forms) and your rationale why you chose your topic. Posting may help you clarify what you are passionately interested in. Also, I believe that reading others' work helps you think from multiple perspectives. We will build knowledge about writing step by step and land on the promised land.In our class discussion, you showed fascinating participation. I hope that you enjoyed the class as much as I did. Your constructive criticism and comments also help me broaden my horizon, improve the quality of class, and increase classroom interaction. I encourage you to ask me questions during/after class. If you are confused, others also may be confused. Questioning helps increase class interaction, clarify meaning, and elicit further questions. In particular, I thank the student who shared the non-English major perspective. Non-English majors contribute to our class by bringing their unique background. For one example, a student from Library Science demonstrated that her major knowledge helped us identify a specific topic such as information gap . For another example, a student from Education department shared her research method. The contribution of non-English major students is vital for us to broaden our perspectives on writing and ways of learning.
