In order to fulfill this assignment, you will complete the following:
Write a 6 page essay that tells the story of your major and career exploration so far. Your writing project should cover two main areas:
Part 1: Major/Career Exploration: Using specific examples from pre-college (such as during your childhood, your high school experience, and so on), this class, and other classes/experiences in college so far, reflect on what you have done to engage in each of the various stages of the major and career exploration process (discover, inquire, decide) and the pros and cons of the majors/careers you have considered.
Part 2: Moving Forward: Be specific about where you are now: what decisions do you still need to make, concerning your major or career? What information do you need to make a confident choice? What is your plan of action moving forward? What resources do you plan to use? How would you like to get more involved/continue to be involved at UNLV? What are some of your goals for the next (fall) semester? Wrap up with final reflections on what you anticipate in the next chapter of your major/career story.
Revise and proofread your essay to ensure you demonstrate thoughtful reflection and analysis, include specific and detailed examples, and have a purposeful logical order.
NOTE: Your essay should cover the story of your major/career exploration so far; while assignments we completed in COLA certainly fall under the “Inquire” section of the essay, this paper is not a re-cap of the COLA 100E course.
