Final...

Jump to en191f11s25
December 16, 2010 final from 5-8PM New location: my office LH 116 (our room is booked by a different class and our time slot would be 6:30-9PM; so I suggest we keep our regular time slot and make my office the meeting place. Students are free to show up or not to discuss their class work. The final is optional for students because all of your work is available on-line at all times.
I suggest you use the time-slot of the final to discuss any open questions you have regarding our class.

All your blogs and entries are due at noon of the day we meet: Thursday (unless otherwise indicated).

Challenges and benefits1 2 .

Interviews:

Preparations and considerations

Sample interview 1

Sample interview 2

Final paper on Malaysia

Sample prep report

Phases of an interview

Elements of each interview that must show up on your blog:

1. Describe the preparations.
How did you approach people?
When, where, and how did you conduct and record the interview?
Whom did you interview?

2. Describe the interview. What did surprise you?

3. Report on country/region and culture.

4. Transcribe the interview.

At least two interviews need to be transcribed. That allows for one report without the transcription. Still, we need to know the preparations, approach, interview process, etc. of that interview (1-3 above). Please be sure to choose interviewees from one country or region.

Resources

Recommended book:

The Bedford Handbook, 7th ed, Diana Hacker, Bedford/St. Martin, Boston, New York 2009

General considerations: Please be sure to

...always write a thematic statement before you start on a writing project. (This paper is about...)
...always cross-reference information or web-data. Have at least three different sources for whatever you want to use.
...always cite your sources. You find it on the web, you cite it. Citations from the web are easy: url plus date visited

If you use text verbatim, put it in quotes and cite the source. Paraphrasing does not allow using source text unchanged. It means you report on what you read. You need to cite what/whom you are paraphrasing, of course.
