Research

I want to write my research paper over my field of study, Sociology, and the different careers I can choose with that degree. There are a variety of different information sources I can use for my topic. Of course, books, articles, the internet, search engines are all good. What I am really interested in doing is finding different groups and people who are already in this field of study and or who have a degree in Sociology. I plan to ask people around campus, as well as different professors about the different career choices I have with a degree in Sociology.  I believe I will get most of my research done that way. The main discipline is Sociology  Of course, subjects as psychology come along with that topic. I want to minor in Anthropology, so I will be researching that as well. I also plan to ask students about this field of study as well and how it goes along with my major, Sociology.

Research Topics!

I have not really given much thought into what I want to do my final research project over. But if I had to choose right now, it would be over something to do with the UK or what I have been doing research on all summer, what career I want after college.
I visited the UK in March of 2012 and I had the most amazing time. I fell in love with the country of England and more with the culture and people. Now that I am back in the States, I am still interested  in the news and such. I want to eventually move and work there for a couple of years before settling down here in America.
My other topic is jobs I can have with my degree. I am majoring in Sociology and this past semester discovered the many careers I can have with a B.S in Sociology.

Big purchase!

My last big purchase was a laptop. I needed a good laptop for home work, Internet browsing, music and can hold a lot of pictures. I talked to the geek squad and such but I always feel like they just talk up the bigger brand, most expensive computers for commission. So I talked to some fellow students, friends and family. Luckily I have an uncle who is into tech things so I got his advise on what the best brands were, the best programs and systems. I am very happy with the decision I made. The laptop does everything I need to do.

UWG Library

I love the UWG library. I love the different levels available to students. If I need a quiet place to study, I know where to go. Or if I wanted to just hang out on Facebook during break, I can go to the bottom floor. My least favorite is that during the busy parts of the day, you have to fight over computers. We have a ton of computers, but not really enough for everyone. I usually go to the UCC during lunch hours because the library computers are usually all taken. I have never looked or needed a book from the library yet, so I guess I'm "confused" about that. I honestly wouldn't know where to start. I would just go to an student assistant and ask where to go. Other than that, I think the UWG library is amazing.

Hi! My name is Katelynn Jewell. I am 21 years old and from Douglasville, GA. My major at UWG is Sociology and I am thinking about minoring in Anthropology. The one thing that surprised me about this class was that it's mainly online. For some reason I was thinking we would be in the actual library looking through books. I am very excited about the class.
