getting ready for comprehensive exams

I'm like, didn't I do this already? In undergrad? Yeah. That was a miserable time of life. This doesn't seem that bad.

I have to write 2 papers (we're calling them "scholarly articles"). Here are the comp questions:

1. Using Alistair Thompson's article "Four Paradigm Transformations in Oral History" (Oral History Review 2007 34(1):49-70) as a starting point, what are the methods of creating oral history for the fourth paradigm transformation, the digital era? What are the ethical implications of using these new technologies to create oral history?

2. Dr. James E. Alatis attributes his interest in languages and linguistics to his upbringing in a Greek immigrant community in West Virginia. How does the literature on the transcultural experience of heritage language speakers illuminate this experience?

Thoughts? You wanna write them for me?
