A Good Paper about Social Computing and Empowerment

Posted by: Tracy, in Assignments, Sample Student Essay

I realize that not only have many of my students never written a 15-20 page research essay, most have not had the chance even to read many long essays. To give you an example of how engaging and personal a good research project can be, I asked one of last semester’s students if I could post her essay on T Blog, and she kindly agreed.  You can read her essay by going to the “Documents for ITW 101″ page, or clicking here: http://keeneweb.org/tmendham/files/2008/02/samplestudentessaythenineteenthwasagoodstart20080222.doc

Enjoy!

    Tracy, it’s great that you’ve posted a real paper here. I know Kirsti Sandy similarly had her students read an ITW paper. A 15-20 page project can sound so daunting, but is partially demystified by other students’ competent work.

    I only wish this file included the bibliography. It’s such a valuable part of the scholarship.
