Pro Gaming: Job Description And Work Environment
OVERVIEW
Part of this course requires each student to write a “mesearch” or research paper focusing on a particular occupation and/or industry of interest. Think of this as an opportunity to use a significant portion of the course researching what you aspire to do after you graduate! Specifically, students will be asked to combine information from a variety of sources to provide a portrait or case study of a specific occupation including job description, work environment, work-family balance, barriers to entry, compensation, and job outlook (see next page).
REQUIREMENTS
Students will be required to record and transcribe interviews with two or more people currently working in the selected occupation and/or industry as well as draw upon official employment statistics (e.g., Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics), professional associations (e.g., American Business Women's Association), and both peer and non-peer reviewed sources (e.g., New York Times, Sociological Forum). Papers should be 6-10 pages single-spaced (note: tables, references, and interview transcripts included in an appendix do not count towards page limit) and properly formatted following the guidelines of your major or discipline (e.g., ASA format for Sociology majors, Chicago for Economics majors).
Papers MUST
- Include information from interviews with 2+ individuals currently working in the selected occupation.
- use, quote, or cite at least one concept/theory/finding from the course textbook.
- use the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook.
- be properly formatted according to the guidelines of your major or discipline (e.g., ASA for Sociology majors).
