Paper Instructions Research Proposal Goal of the Assignment: • To begin developing a working thesis statement on your chosen topic. • To practice evaluating sources for credibility, bias, and identify the role of discourse communities in the research process. • To improve library skills and research methods Instructions: Step 1: Using your proposition, you will choose a question, issue or problem that you believe requires more research before making a decision on how to vote (if you want to pick another proposition, you can. However, since you have already done work to analyze the proposition for Essay #1, you will find that it is probably easier to stick with the same one). Step 2: You will write a structured research proposal that follows the template provided in these instructions. Be sure to pay close attention to my directions, and read the example posted on the assignment page before you start. Essay Requirements: 1. Your essay will have 6 paragraphs and should be around 750-1000 words. The first paragraph will be an introduction, and the other 5 will each discuss a source that you have found on your topic. The sources should include a variety of perspectives, but the most valuable sources will be those that are neutral and informative, rather than containing opinion. The paragraph outline below explains exactly what you will include in the introduction and source evaluation paragraphs. 2. You must submit your essay according to MLA formatting standards. If you are unsure what this means, please see the MLA Formatting Guide at the bottom of the instruction page on Canvas. Requirements for Each Paragraph: I. Introduction Paragraph: The introduction will give a brief overview of the topic or issue you will be researching. Please make sure that you answer the following questions in a well-organized, detailed paragraph that includes a topic and concluding sentence as if it were the introduction to your research paper. a. What is the main research problem or debate that you wish to learn more about in relation to your proposition? b. What methods or approach should be used to analyze the research problem or debate? c. Why is this important research, what is its significance, and why should someone reading the proposal care about the outcomes of the proposed study? II. Citation & Source Evaluation (5 paragraphs: talk about 1 source per paragraph): a. Citation entry at the top in bold (in the same format as a Works Cited entry) b. Paragraph underneath the citation that contains the following information in paragraph form: i. Identify whether the source is primary, secondary or tertiary and explain how this affects the source’s credibility. ii. Evaluate the source’s credibility using the information we have covered over the last couple weeks: consider the author’s credentials, proof of expertise and experience; consider the company that published the source and how their reputation or motives affect the source; ask whether the source is recent enough to be used, ask whether there are biases present that may affect the source’s trustworthiness, logical fallacies, etc. Due Date: Friday, Oct. 16 by midnight through Canvas
