Question: After watching the videos "Why Study STEM," "Why Study Art," and "Why Study Social Science", and reading three different articles about how to choose a particular academic subject for your major, consider what exactly was persuasive to you in any of these texts.
Do you know what subject you will major in? If so, what aspects of these texts reinforced your decision? If not, what aspects of these texts planted a seed you want to think more about? Did anything in the videos or articles prompt you to reconsider plans you had already begun to make? Did you feel more inspired by these texts, or more confused, or something else?
