I was, actually, very amazed at how each presenter today had already figured out their topic, even if it wasn't completely finalized yet! Shawn, Stephanie and Katherine were all visibly prepared and ready to take the next step in their research, and visibly interested as well.
Again, Shawn, I think focusing in on University of Wisconsin would do very well for your research, as well as possibly interviewing some students on campus who are have either gone abroad already or are going to. Ask them why they feel its necessary for them to do so, as well as other questions you feel need to be answered in order for you to feel convinced about your topic.
Katharine, you probably have the most controversial topic. Therefore, you should definitely look for articles from each side arguing the other. In addition, I have a question about one of the articles you found about art being incorporated into the sciences. Are they talking about actual art projects, or something like diagrams and pictures that help you figure out problems? Either way, I'm confused about whether this would explain why budgets for art are being cut. Your topic is great, though. I can't wait to hear about your research the most.
And Stephanie, your research topic is great as well. You can use the example of this website as to how classes incorporate technology today. It might even be beneficial to find an article or interview someone to ask why we blog for this class, since students in the past obviously never did before. Since you are in your early stages of research, I'm sure you'll find the answers to these questions, and yours as well.
By the way, none of you have to listen to anything I've said, but I just thought I'd give my thoughts here since we don't have time in class. Whatever you guys do, I can't wait to find out the answers to your research!
