He didn't want to leave an "open topic, submit a prospectus," option on the final paper prompt, on the grounds that undergrads don't know how to put together decent topics. Although he eventually yielded to persuasion from the TAs and did leave that option there, it took me a long time to realize what I found problematic about his comment: basically, if the students don't know how to put a topic together, that's not their problem--we have to teach them how. So I'm happy to hear that others have really been thinking about this, and are doing it.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, suddenly I'm quite happy my SAA abstract isn't due for another 10 days or so...Canuck Down Southnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-82293312206643968642012-12-02T21:56:34.448-05:002012-12-02T21:56:34.448-05:00There's a bit in David Lodge's Small World...There's a bit in David Lodge's <i>Small World</i> that might resonate.Withywindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465319711207992232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-72289887533091861562012-12-02T17:45:08.006-05:002012-12-02T17:45:08.006-05:00So painfully true.

I'm sure seeing it with some of my students, though. I'm trying to be sympathetic by remembering what I was like at their age, rather than telling them to stop panicking and just write the damn paper.
