Topic Selection

                  In Professor Sweeney class we picked topics for our second paper "Crime and Punishment" We filled up the board with a lot of subtopics. I find this very helpful. I usually have a hard time picking topics of such a broad topic. Doing this in class exposes me to ideas I would've never thought about. It also gives me the opportunity to hear everyone's opinion. It makes  my paper easier to write because of the debates we have in class, gives me the 2 sides to write about in my argumentative research paper. So I think that this is a very helpful tool, and we should continue to use it.
