When choosing topics to be used in an educational environment,
it is good to avoid topics that are controversial or offensive. Using discretion
during the topic selection process removes any chance of a topic being used
that is not politically correct. In my opinion, this is why teachers have to
ban or avoid certain topics when giving assignments to their students. Only
having a few topics for the students to choose from, the teacher can easily
grade the papers without having to check a large amount of information and
resources. I think that as grown adults taking college classes we should be
able to choose whatever topic we want. If a student can choose a topic based on
personal interest, the student would be excited and eager to complete the
assignment. I have a difficult time finding information and resources during
the writing process when given a topic that I have no personal interest in.
This also causes a lack of motivation to do the assignment and usually causes
me to rush through the paper. A possible solution would be to broaden the variety
of topics a student is allowed to choose from. By doing this, there will be a
better chance that the students could choose a topic they find interesting. A
larger variety of topics would also keep the unwanted and controversial subjects
from being used in a student’s paper. Having a topic chosen for me also
relieves me of the time and stress of having to find a topic on my own.
