Examples Of Discourse Community Project
Discourse Community Project
1. I am studying the outdoors discourse community.
a. Majors relating to the outdoors include ecology, environmental studies, sustainable food production, climate science and geography. Related departments include: Biology, Environment and Society, Plants, Soils and Climate, Watershed Sciences and Wildland Resources. Some disciplines are ecophysiology (the interrelationship between the physical function of something and its surroundings) and behavioral ecology (the way animals react to a changing environment).
b. Anyone with any job can enjoy the outdoors and be a part of the community. Some of the more relevant jobs are working for the National Parks Service, the USGS (United States Geological Survey), working as an environmental scientist for a private firm, and working as a meteorologist.

d. I gathered information about this community by being a part of it as a youth and observing others in the community. I met people who worked as scientists and Park Rangers and talked to them about their love for the outside. While at Alpine, I …show more content…
Dr. Adler says, “In my world of academic ecology, writing is EXTREMELY important. Writing research papers and proposals is our bread and butter. No matter how good your ideas are, or your data are, if you can’t explain them in a clear and compelling way you won’t get very far. Well-written papers have better chances of being accepted at the best journals and well-written proposals have a better chance of being funded. If we are talking narrowly about papers and proposals, I might say 20%. If we are talking more broadly and including written materials for teaching, comments on student's papers, editing collaborators' papers, writing reviews of others' papers and proposals, and even emails like this, then I would say it's up to 75% of my
