Conference Notes

Before meeting with Dr Archibald I thoght that my main topic would be about deforestation or harming the environment in general and the solutions there were to this issue. Later on, after the meeting, I discovered that my topic had to be more specific and instead of a general topic I should focus in on a country that had an issue that delt with Ecology. During the meeting I found a specific topic, which was pollution in China. I also found what things I should include in my research paper. Some of these things being, the risks of pollution, the people involved, the consequences, and the ways to improve it. Also, I learned that I should mention what the citizens in China or in a specific province are doing to solve this issue of pollution. Finally, I also discovered my main thesis that I should be focusing on which is that pollution is an issue that every individual should be concerned about because of whats happening in China and in these people's lives, so we should support their attempt to reduce the amount of pollution around them and in the world.

  1. After reading your blog it sounds like Dr. Archibald helped you narrow down your topic and to focus on one thing. Your topic on China and pollution sounds like a very intersting topic that would be exciting to learn about. Also it sounds like a topic that you can write alot about and find tons of research on.

  2. I think you have a lot of great ideas for your paper that you have discussed in your blog. I think it is a good idea as well to narrow down your topic to pollution in China. This will make it easier for a reader to get a better idea of what your paper is about and also you will be able to find more information on your specific topic. I also like the other ideas on this topic that you are going to incorporate into your paper like: the risks of pollution, the people involved, the consequences, and the ways to improve it. I think this is an interesting paper for people it relates to directly and also people who can relate it to the same problems occurring where they live. This is an important and serious topic as well as an informative topic. Your paper sounds like it's going to be great!
