Preparation for
In-Class Presentation and Discussions on June 3,2009
In presenting your papers/projects:
- Remind us of the topic on which you
worked, and summarize what you have done, where you have taken it since
your in-class presentation and discussion.
- What unexpected difficulties did you
have to address as you worked on the paper/project? These might have to do with identifying
and locating sources, finding data, conceptual focus, or other issues you
needed to surmount as you worked.
- What was the most significant thing
that you learned as a result of the paper/project? (For example, something that really
struck you, or that you will likely remember or use later on.)
- How does the paper/project connect to what
comes next? (E.g., thesis or
dissertation, future career direction, other interests, etc.)
In thinking about the content
of the course:
- What seems to be distinctively Russian
about Russian education?
- What seems to match other world-wide or
US practice in education?
- If you had to place a bet, what do you
think the system will look like 10 or 15 years hence? (Aim for 2025…)
