ENG221.000 Spring 2017
This is a hectic mapping of what I feel the breakdown of the Equality of Opportunity Project should be like. Every boxed topic focuses on college admissions and ever circled topic focus on leaving college. The methods used for each topic would vary.
The Listening Project allowed the class to pair up and get to know another student at SUNY-ESF. Initially, finding compatible scheduling between my partner and I came at a challenge. We did not get in contact until mid semester but our conversation halted when I went spring […]
In looking at the Equality of Opportunity Project, perhaps an aspect of our data visualization can focus on the social issues of the students. For example, examining race, gender, how many parents per household, how many children per household, whether the parents are employed, whether the student is employed, etc. This will allow us to …
Trying to come up with a picture of what I thought this project would turn into seemed like a daunting task. I wasn’t successful until I just dove into the data. After looking for trends and comparing different different values, I came up with this […]

For an assignment coined The Listening Project, our New Media Writing class at Emory University was paired with a class at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Each of us was assigned a partner from the opposite school, tasked with communicating with them and sharing a bit about ourselves. Beyond that, we were pretty …
I have always been doubtful of meeting people online, with the exception of meeting my first year roommate at Emory on Facebook. Even then, we met in person in New York before actually agreeing to room with each other. The listening […]
My idea for how we could visualize the Opportunity Project data is dividing into groups focused on data from the institutions in a specific geographic area. As I reflected on my own educational experiences as well as those of people I have grown up with in the Southeast, I wondered if geographical regions have a significant effect on …
When I first began planning for this podcast, I felt that the process was unexpectedly similar to how I begin to write traditional essays for writing-centered courses, regardless of the fact that it was completed with another person. As my partner Trish was the project’s producer, we followed her desire to explore the publication, Buzzfeed, …
