First Year Symposium

Past FYS presentations from other classes in Learning Community E

​

You will be presenting with a group for First Year Symposium. Based on the issue you are researching for your discovery logs, you will find a way to present on a historical connection as a group. The FYS poster presentation will count as your 3rd genre for the Situations and Genres project.

​

You will need to work on this project outside of class time in order to produce an effective presentation. Your team must collaborate outside of class time, so if you experience any problems as we begin and progress through this process, you need to speak up as soon as problems arise. Part of adulting is learning how to work with people and problem solving.

​

Professor Hartman will also be working with you in Seminar toward building groups and connections between your topics and history. Please utilize us both as resources. We are all in this together.

​

Your work is significant. Your work is significant to understanding who we are as American and as citizens of our communities and the world. We owe each other truth, verifiable facts, and different perspectives. 

​

The work you put into the world represents your identity and ideologies and reflects who you are as a person. You should be proud of the work that you put out into the world.

Reading Discussion

Evaluating Sources - let's talk about it.

Discovery Log #8:

Thinking of our discussion on FYS and its connection to the Intersections project, use DL #8 as a way of researching a connection between your issue you've been researching and the historical timeframe Dr. Wooster focuses on.

-As part of the couple of sources you will find for this entry, one of the sources should be a scholarly source. This can be either a physical book from the library or an article or ebook from the library databases.
