This assignment will have three parts: a topic, a written research proposal, and an annotated bibliography.
The topic should address current issues in the student’s major and advance his or her knowledge through research. Keep in mind that rehashing old questions or reviewing concepts other than as background information, or to show progress in a particular area of research, is not advancing knowledge and can produce misleading or wrong conclusions.
The research proposal will include a summary of preliminary research that has been done (e.g., areas of interest that have been explored and pursued or discarded, changes in focus of research, discoveries that have advanced the research, as well as dead ends); the research question (at this point in the project); the working thesis; and why it is relevant that this project and research should continue.
An annotated bibliography consists of bibliographical entries along with an annotation. An annotation is a note of explanation or comment added to a text, and may include a summary of the information contained in the cited work, an assessment or evaluation of the cited material, and a reflection on how this entry may be useful in the development of the research project. Each annotation does not need to include all three of these notes, but each does require the information necessary to remember why the entry is important. The annotation is for the student’s benefit!
Students must have a minimum of six current sources, of which at least three are from 1995 forward. These can include: journals in the student’s major, Internet sources, and interviews. Books (often outdated by the time they get published) are generally poor sources except for background information. Trade magazines or special interest group sources may have built-in biases. Check the source of all information for reliability. Is the Internet site sanctioned by a reputable institution or organization? Is the person interviewed experienced in the subject? Does he or she have a built-in bias which needs to be addressed in the paper? What personal biases should students be aware of to produce a scholarly look at this subject?
The research proposal is a one (1) to two (2) page word document, written in Times New Roman, 12-point font. The proposal should follow MLA formatting. This paper is written in the third person. It will not be written in first-person (I, we, us) or second-person (you) perspective.
