Job Market 2009

I thought this was very funny. It's good to see we can joke about the state of our economy.

Prop 102

I had a very interesting conversation today with a person who is against Prop 102(Adding definition of Marriage to the AZ constituion). It was extremely interesting to hear her point of view on the matter and to hear the arguments she presented. I found it very insightful for my upcoming research paper on the subject. There are some deep issues that are to be discussed on this topic and I know both sides are passionate about their beliefs. I was unfortunately unable to be present the day the debate happened inside the classroom, but I would have loved to hear some of the arguments. I am really having to fine tune my paper and how and what I want to discuss and put forth. There are some many things to go into!

Hopes & Concerns about student blogs

I agree with everything Professor Jolley expresses in the Hopes & Concerns post. I know we have to be careful when using the web for research purposes, cause the content isn't also factual but more opinionated, but at the same time I feel one can come to a very solid conculsion by reading and researching different expressed points of view from the web.
My biggest concern at this point is that I hope the students in the class really start to explore the blogging portion of this class. Blogging is a lot of fun. I have really enjoyed it, and my whole family blogs, so it is such a good way to follow family events and keep everyone posted.
I hope more can find some enjoyment in it.
