Dr. Dana Williams has been with our freshman seminar class from the begining. She has helped to direct us answer our questions and sitt in on every lecture that I've been to. From my observation she is one of the professors i can associate in a group of those who have been dedicated to the sucess of freshmen seminar. This week it was finally her turn to speak. She brought us back to the original pupose of the freshman seminar class. She was extreemly imformative about the numerous ways we could go about doing our research. Dr. Williams also took the time to break down the steps of our research such as identifying and stating the problem and/or challenge. It made me contemplate the realisticness of my groups research question and what tools we would need to throughly address it. There were also other steps that including the thesis and conclusion.
She also gave examples of the various ways that we could actively present our project. Would it be best to do a powerpoint, write a plain paper, give handouts to the class, or just verbally deliver without any props. The purpose of our research question and project is to educate one another. Dr. Williams pointed out that we ourselves as a class were finally understanding the purpose of the class. Through the readings of some peoples blog I was able to see that each person was able to take something diffent from each speakers lecture. People wrote from all different perspectives and was interesting to see the different ways people went about blogging. It even motivated me to get even more personal with my own blogs.
