During my meeting with Professor Abdoney, we discussed the digital essay and my topic in general. Specifically, I asked her questions around how to best execute the visualization part of my essay. She recommended I use Voyant where I could copy and paste different parts of articles and use that as my text visualization. This was different than my original thoughts because I thought I needed to create a graph of some kind which I thought was going to be difficult based on my topic. One part we discussed that she said would be effective is making sure to take a stance within the essay by bringing in both sides of the argument with multiple perspectives. Professor Abdoney noted how good academic writing is based on having a solid backing to your argument and making sure what you are saying is clear. This was a goal stated by me where I would like to improve my academic writing. Some further steps I need to take is to try and look into data to be able to create some graph or visualization. One thing we discussed is attempting to find what schools are banning ChatGPT and gathering data around that topic to potentially build a map showing where it is more acceptable than others. Overall, I came out of the meeting with a clear understanding of that direction my essay was headed as well as knowing what I needed to take as next steps.
