Fall 2010 HON 498: Thesis Prep Course @ Barrett Downtown
GENERAL FAQ’S:
Who should take this class?
a. Any Barrett student who needs some assistance in starting the thesis process, particularly those students who need structure, accountability, and a schedule to keep them on track.
Who is the instructor?
a. Various ASU and Honors faculty and staff will facilitate each course session, including Faculty Honors Advisors, Barrett advisors, and ASU Writing Center Directors.
What if I cannot attend all 6 sessions?
a. Attendance is mandatory for enrolled students (only 1 excused absence allowed), however, each session will have limited spots open to the Barrett student community. Non-enrolled students can “drop-in” on any class session, provided space is available.
I’m enrolled in the Thesis 492/493 course, should I also take this course?
a. This class is really intended for students who are at the very beginning stages of developing a thesis idea, and therefore the course content might not be relevant for students who are already enrolled in the 492/493 courses. However, all students might benefit from some of our sessions and they are encouraged to drop in on any session of interest.

Film Descriptions:
"Living Homeless: Kids on the Street"
Approximately 1.3 million homeless and runaway kids live on the streets in the United States. It may be easy to pretend that youth homelessness is not a problem, but it is. This film centers around two homeless youths in Tempe, Arizona trying to live their lives without a stable home.

“Silent Voices: The Underrepresentation of Native Americans in Local News”
This documentary explores the importance of Native Americans in the newsroom and the influence the group has on news coverage. The program examines why are not more Native Americans represented in local news stations.
Colton Shone, winner of the Edward R. Murrow Award for Broadcast Journalism
“Lodestar: A Holistic Haven for Help and Humanity”
The homeless population of the Valley of the Sun relies on the Lodestar Day Resource Center. The LDRC takes a holistic approach to homelessness and believes in re-instilling the client with personal identity, instead of providing just a bed and a hot meal. This documentary looks at the LDRC’s services, agencies and resources and how they have changed lives. The goals of the project were to provide the LDRC with a resource and to dispel stereotypes about the homeless.
Jessica Andrews and Denica Moodey
“Mixed Rice: Japanese Americans and Interracial Marriage”
This documentary considers Japanese Americans and the increasing prevalence of their marriages to non-Japanese individuals. Since the end of World War II, intermarrying among Japanese Americans has increased well over 70%, with the most common marriages being between Japanese Americans and Caucasians.
