Introduction

Being able to closely read a text, summarize, and respond to key issues is a key skill that will help you effectively cull resources for the information you need as you move into your major program of study. Learning to read closely and take careful notes will make your research process smoother and more organized.

For this discussion, you are going to conduct a close reading of a source and use this reading to pre-write in preparation for your summary response essay.

Part I:

University students report approaching higher education with several goals: bettering their understanding of the world, keeping a promise made to themselves or loved ones, and attaining a “good job.” With wages depressed for more than a decade, right-to-work legislation in states throughout the United States, and increasing automation across the workforce, what looks like a “good job” to today’s university graduate? Students can engage with this topic by reviewing typical jobs in their majors, salaries, career expectations, and develop a plan for steps to take during university to bridge a way to the first job after graduation.
