English 302: S02 & S05
Short Report

For this assignment, you will write a short (3-5 page, double spaced) deductive explanation of your choice of major or career.

Chapter 3 details several types of explanation, including the deductive explanation. Starting from a general principle (such as ""People try to improve their well-being") and some particular circumstances ("someone with a college degree earns more than someone without one," for example), a deductive explanation attempts to explain observed phenomena.

The question you will answer is "why did you choose your current major or career?" What factors influenced your decision? What are your expectations?
