Topics

Academic Journal - https://academic.oup.com/pq/issue/69/277 Possible Research Topics - One abstract that I read (https://academic.oup.com/pq/article/69/277/721/5487583/) delved into if somebody was in the morally wrong position if they are are good-intentioned but have an un-awareness of the situation. Another (https://academic.oup.com/pq/article/69/277/795/5499124/) discussed the psychological impact of the use of slurs by the people who use them and the receivers of them.

Major Writing #1

After reading the analytical report a couple of times I understand that is a 5 page paper designed to get us more involved with our future career choice or major. We'll be interacting with professionals from our areas of study and reading both academic and non-academic sources to try and gage what role writing plays in a real world job. By interviewing professionals and coming into contact with academic journals we will see more targeted writing for a selective audience as opposed to writing for the masses. The paper will also show us how to integrate sources in our respective fields. 3 Questions for My Professor 1) I am an undecided or "open" major, so I was curious as to what field of study I would be pursuing? 2) I am new to Iowa City and don't have many connections yet on campus, how would you recommend getting a meeting with a professor or an expert? 3)Is there a font that you would suggest we write in for our paper?
