Lindsay, your presentation was very thought-provoking. The achievement gaps that are present among races is more than a problem than people sometimes realize, or admit to realizing. I found your statistics and predicted validity slides especially interesting -- if you want to add more to your research, definitely go and pursue these topics. Also, what I meant to say in class when Lindsay asked why the university wouldn't mind having an achievement gap is that universities tend give more scholarships to minority students which can be unfavorable to the university-- I did not mean to say that universities loan more to minorities because that can be interpreted as insulting. I'm sorry!
Brittany, you probably have the most specific topic so far, which is great. I found the different types of therapy used to be especially interesting, and how those therapies effect autistic children differently. I'm going to have to agree with the other students though and disagree with Mary -- you should at least talk about education in some way and relate it to your topic. This will add a great deal to your paper!
And finally, Jessica, I found the most astonishing thing about your topic was that there was only one deaf school in Wisconsin. Wow, that should really be changed... but that is besides the point. I agree with your answer and I believe you have enough information. So you should pursue taking a poll like the students suggested to add depth to your paper.
Let's go, Monday presenters! Woo!
