12B: Back by Popular Demand...!!!

For my last week’s blog post, I made a series of inquiry questions that you would expect on a quiz or assessment for our INQ 101 class. Now, back by popular demand, we will be doing the same thing based on this week’s readings. But this time I will focus more on less questions. The first one I came up with was:
Q: In what ways will a liberal arts education help you to find a job in the future? How will you stand out from other people? Use evidence from the readings to explain your reasoning.
                Now let’s start with, why this is a college level inquiry question. There are 3 parts to this question. The first part makes you refer to the readings but you also you have to have to have some opinion based and you must use critical thinking to link it between your readings and opinions. The second part of the question goes back to the first part and makes you use your previous knowledge to further explore the topic. The third part is just explaining, to get full credit you need to explain using evidence, maybe even quotes.
                Now to further help you understand a college level question, I will be answering this to, what I believe, is a college worthy answer.

A: In this week’s readings we learned all about the liberal arts education program. As said in the article, “What is college for?” it says, that when kids find classes boring, they find a lack of interest studying for them outside of school. But with the liberal arts education program, people can choose classes they actually might enjoy and explore those further, hence enhancing their want to study and raising their rate for success. With the liberal arts, it will help you stand out in a group of potential employees in a job interview because you have something you specialize in. It shows that you can teach children something specific and it’ll have that advantage against every other interviewee. With that said, it will also help you to have a potential back up career in case you can’t find one in education.
