describe discipline’s discursive practices

 describe your discipline’s discursive practices (based on what you already know and on what you have since learned), pose questions you have about information dissemination, and investigate the outline of your discipline to identify two sub-disciplines in which you are interested. Compose thoughtful (and numbered) responses to the following:

1. Reflect on what you learned about disciplines as discourse communities from THINKING THROUGH THE DISCIPLINES and on what you learned about your particular discipline’s research and writing practices from the READING AND WRITING ABOUT… chapter(s) you chose. Then, reflect on how the information in either reading complemented or challenged what you already knew about your discipline’s practices and/or the underlying disciplinary values that support these practices.

2. Reflect on what you learned from the UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION DISSEMINATION (ARTICLES < JOURNALS < ACADEMIC PUBLISHING HOUSES) AND INFORMATION ACCESS (DATABASES AND SUBJECT GUIDES) instructional page and list questions you have about the content presented.

3. Scroll through the OUTLINE OF ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES to find your discipline, review the associated sub-disciplines listed beneath, and click on the sub-disciplines in which you are interested to read more about those particular areas. Once you have thoroughly explored all sub-disciplines in which you are interested, identify two that you would like to explore further through your work in this class, provide links (click on the Insert Link icon; CTRL/CMD + K) for their respective pages, and discuss what you learned from reading these pages that prompted and/or reaffirmed your interest.
