Academic Research Proposal
Before starting serious research, you need to complete an academic research proposal, which is an important part of any investigation. It clearly states the purposes of your research and the ways that you intend to find the answers. The proposal for your final research report introduces the topic or question you will be researching, lists topics for investigation, provides some preliminary methodology, and provides a work schedule for the various activities that will be involved in completing the project. The goal here is for your proposal to be approved; therefore, you want to be as specific and clear as possible about the approach you will be taking to this final writing project.
Your research proposal is a brief description of the research plan that you will be conducting later. The purpose of this paper is to explain why you have chosen this particular issue and what techniques will be used to research it. Your paper should cover the following sections in bold:
1.    Introduction/Problem: Relatively short description with of the topic/question/problem to be examined

    transgender in leadership positions in Fortune 100 companies

    why are there so transgenders in the United States that are CEOs of fortune 100 organizations?

2.    Clear statement of the research question
    Very clearly state what you will be studying. Be sure that this is understandable to someone who doesnt know much about your field of study

o    What are the current numbers of transgender CEOs at Fortune 100 companies compared with the numbers  of male and women CEOs in the past 10 years

o    what are some explanations from management theorist to explain these differences in numbers of male versus transgender CEOs in the United States?

o    Justification of the research of this particular issue; (Why is this important to look at? What will we understand from examining this issue?)
3.    Description of your research plans:
    Topics for Investigation-what you will examine versus what you wont be looking at (an example would be: I will be examining Fortune 100 Companies in the United States versus those in Europe and Asia.)
    Preliminary Methodology and Potential Resources
o    (this section should provide an explanation about how you plan to approach your research and where you will likely find answers to your questions.
4.Timeline-briefly provide a schedule for accomplishing the major sections of your research and due dates of Bibliography etc.

I am doing a dissertation on Speech Enhancement using LSTM Recurrent neural netowrks.
A large portion of this is background writing on the characteristics of speech and speech enhancement. I will take care of the the artificial intelligence bit, I just want the speech processing and other background bits taken care of.

below is a outline of what i need:

1. Charactistics of speech
– how speech is created (doesnt need to be incredibly detailed)
– charactistics of a speech signal
– how we percieve speech

2. speech enhancement
– cocktail party problem
– speech enhancement algorithms (why some are good and bad)

What is college for?

/in /by

prompt: This fall semester is beginning in a world that is in the middle of a profound change. We are grappling with a global pandemic, the uncertainties of which are with us even as this assignment is being written (July 2020). This past spring, the Arctic recorded its highest temperature ever. And as a nation, we have begun an overdue reckoning with our history of racial injustice and inequality.

So in this moment of change, what is college for?  For this assignment, you need to reflect on the purpose of a university education right now and reflect on how your own ambitions align with your response to that question of purpose.

Remind: Dont make your essay a list of points in paragraph form, and certainly dont make it a 5-paragraph essay. (In other words, you shouldnt present something like: Here are three purposes, with a paragraph for each one, followed by a summary/conclusion paragraph!) Instead, make your essay both more personal and more analytical than that.

This essay can be relatively informal in tone, and you can certainly use I. At the same time, you need to show some serious intellectual inquiry.

The best essays dont shut conversations down by delivering a right answer or by proving somethinginstead they spark more and more informed conversation. Explore a tension or question. Anchor it in your own specific life experience.  Welcome complexity. Dont be afraid to discuss counterarguments to your own. Think about how you can provoke your fellow classmates to think more.

Here are some questions that can spark thinking:
How much should college be about personal growth? How much about grades? How much about asking big questions?  How much about everything that happens outside the classroom? How much about following your own interests? How much about trying new things? How much about learning time-honored traditions? How much about challenging tradition? How much about community? How much about individual freedom? How much about weighing your obligations to others? How much about seeking people like you? How much about negotiating differences? The questions go on and on. Some incoming college students have thought a lot about this. Some not much at all. For many students, the answers change as they move through college.
