Write an essay that identifies–and presents a reasonable, well-developed solution for–some type of problem related to technology. Read further for details.
Learning Outcome:
Write texts using diverse rhetorical or multimodal strategies.
Critical Thinking: Students will be able to demonstrate higher-order thinking skills about issues, problems, and explanations for which multiple solutions are possible. Students will be able to explore problems and, where possible, solve them. Students will be able to develop, test, and evaluate rival hypotheses. Students will be able to construct sound arguments and evaluate the arguments of others.
Be sure to select a problem (a) that you are interested in enough to do a lot of reading about and (b) for which realistic, well-founded solutions actually exist. Feel free to run your topic ideas by me this week as you begin writing.
Also, try to choose a problem faced by a community or group to which you belong, and address your proposal to one or more members of the group or to outsiders who might help solve the problem.
