Week 8: Back in business…
This week the French students were back and groups had work to do to prepare their midterm proposals in which they will have to outline their topic (including a rationale), research questions (at last some version of them), delimitations, and methodology (including anticipated data sources). Time is passing fast and some groups have a hard time narrowing their topics and giving them a sense of directions… All topics are promising, however, ranging from controversial (e.g., racism, affirmative action) to more fun (comedies, drinking).
