The CHOICES Paper
Describes the initial writing assignment in all my economics courses - a 5-8 page paper about you and your choices for the future. Five sections (Values, Vision, Goals, Plan, Extra-curricular Activities) with examples. Often papers are much longer as students really get involved in thinking about their future. With particular thanks to John Spence (johnspence.com) who was so influential in the design of this assignment. "What are you going to do with what you've got?"
