Our final class is, indeed, today

Folks, Ellie tells me that on the syllabus, I typo'd the date of our last class meeting. It is, indeed, today at our normal time and place. After class, the Honors College party starts at 5:30 -- just a few feet from our classroom door -- and from there, those who are interested will gather wherever y'all like. Wilhagan's has been popular in recent semesters, was was a downtown hookah bar. But it's up to y'all. Sorry for the confusion. See you soon.

Paper Topics!

So I figured at this point we're probably all thinking about what our final papers are going to be about, and at this point I'm proud to say that I actually have some idea of what I'm doing. So I'd like to write about the GMO industry in The Windup Girl and compare it to today's actual genetically modified foods. I've already started researching a little and there are plenty of parallels between the two. Hopefully I'll be able to find out where Bacigalupi came up with some of his ideas, both with science and ethics.

So what other paper topics are floating around? And if anyone has any ideas for what I should alter or include in mine, I'm totally open to suggestions at this point.
