SCSU prides itself on being a university which offers students a liberal arts education, and this week's readings ask you to consider why that type of education in important -- to your future, to your education as a whole, to your career path, and to your whole self. Before reading for this week, google "liberal arts education" and read up on this term a bit so you understand the definition, the purpose, and the context. Remember that many universities offer this type of traditional education, but some other types of colleges are more specialized and focus more on job training. It is crucial to know the difference between these educational philosophies especially when thinking about the required classes you are taking in order to graduate with a degree within a liberal arts education.
For Blog A, answer the following question using support/evidence (direct quotes) from this week's readings: What is the value of a liberal arts education? What does it provide students with (in addition to a degree in a specific major)? Use your own ideas and critical thinking in your answer, but engage directly with the readings as well.
For Blog B, I'd like you to continue the good work you did last week. Pose one (or more, related) inquiry question(s) based on this week's readings and propose a well-considered, college-level, answer.
Today, I also posted the final video project assignment -- don't wait until the last minute to get started! Start it this week! Use the feedback you received on your midterm video project to make this one even better than the first one.
Note that 3 possible topics are due to me by Thursday. Just like last time, I will approve one of them so that everyone does not have the same topic.
