INQUIRY PORTFOLIO PROJECT: TOPIC SELECTION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
In order to understand the breadth of this assignment, you need to review the Inquiry Portfolio
Project Information document. For this module, you will have to finalize a research topic that
you will use for the duration of the Inquiry Project Process. There are two potential paths to take
for this assignment, so you need to decide this week which one you will choose:
1. Path #1: Review the syllabi for all other courses you are currently taking. Look
through the course’s assigned topics and readings and pick a topic that you find
interesting and that is related to the Learn items. If you choose this option, your Inquiry
Project will prepare you to participate as an in-class Scholar on the topic.
2. Path #2: Select a research topic that relates to your major and to your academic
interests. This topic needs to be relevant to academic discourse, meaning that you must
find scholarly conversations and communities discussing the issue. Your professor
reserves the right to deny, redirect, or suggest alternative topics if your initial selection
does not meet the necessary requirements.
a. Remember: if you choose this option, you will soon need to find current, relevant
scholarly sources where the issue is being discussed. If those sources cannot be
found, you cannot choose that topic.
As you think about potential ideas and research interests, keep these reminders in mind:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Pick a topic that is directly related to your academic interests.
Remember this topic will be used for the duration of this course.
This topic should be something that you are personally interested in.
Do not pick a topic simply because of its current cultural relevance. While current events
can often give us direction for research and inquiry, many of the cultural discussions
surrounding these events involve little more than dissenting opinions without supported
arguments.
a. If you choose a current cultural focal-point, you will need to justify its relevance
and be able to narrow to a particular angle within the topic’s conversation while
proving its academic relevance.
b. This means that large-scale, culturally controversial issues are off-limits.
i. Topics to avoid (this list is not exhaustive): Abortion, Gender Dysphoria,
Euthanasia, Death Penalty, Gun Rights, Marriage and Homosexuality,
Politics, Christianity and Culture Wars, etc.
ii. The reasons we have decided these are off-topic are two-fold:
1. Within the span of our course, it will be impossible to narrow and
focus your research direction a particular issue within these fields.
2. The required amount of work needed to engage these issues is
more than you will have here. These topics are greatly important,
but they require more time and effort than is permitted within this
course.
As a reminder, you must be able to find scholarly sources talking about your proposed topic.
