Suny Essay Topics For the Future

Suny Essay Topics For the FutureI had some thoughts on any essay topics this morning, so let's talk a little about what students can expect in the years 2020. The whole class is getting a little older, and we are discussing which kinds of topics will be successful in 2020. Let's take a look at my thoughts on the topic.Prior to all of this happening, I looked at the year ahead of me and said 'Well I guess I will have to do some preparations for the next decade.' That doesn't really work well when you look back ten years from now. If you look out ten years, it would seem that no one wants to go to college, or earn a degree to take care of your house. Things are changing, though. People are starting to take a closer look at what they can do for themselves and their families.We started class with the task of creating an agenda and writing an agenda for the year ahead. The topics are usually pretty bland and unoriginal. We usually learn some history and a little about philosophy or ethics , but those are pretty much the only topics that stick. When I was writing my papers, I was having a lot of trouble trying to find ideas that stuck and maybe turning off some of the readers because they were not as interesting as I would have liked.As the semester progressed, my students began to communicate with each other. They started to interact with each other on a different level, and they have to. We are all adults, and it is expected that we will all get into arguments about things. But I tried to minimize the amount of arguing that took place. We only have to agree on two or three points to come to an agreement on the topic.I noticed that the topic changed quite a bit in between the first week and the last week. I could tell the majority of my students wanted to talk about poverty and jobs, but we did spend a lot of time discussing specific problems in the US. There was a little bit of dissent there, but it was relatively limited. One of my favorite parts of writing my pape rs is getting to debate against my classmates.A lot of Suny students feel that the class projects have been eliminated, and that the professor spends a lot of time making up the project descriptions in advance. The professor likes to continue making up the project descriptions, so that means you are always trying to learn something new.The final exams also changed. Most of the student handouts had sections filled out for test question type, but there were a few that were unique. So, you were asked to fill out a couple of sections for the actual question type, but there were two more sections that were randomly filled out. This helped narrow down the problem sets that students had to answer.My goal is to make sure that students are working on essay topics that they love. I am going to have a lot of fun this semester, so you better believe that I will use all of the topics I write about for next semester.
