Writing your research proposal

[one-two pages]

Your research proposal must contain three sections: a tentative thesis, a plan of development, and an annotated bibliography of at least three sources.

Section 1:  You should begin with an introductory section clarifying why you want to do research on the topic you have picked, what your actual thesis will be, and how you intend to proceed in organizing your paper (basically a description of your outline).  This section might have several paragraphs.

Section 2: You then need a section containing your annotated bibliography.  This is an annotated list of sources (books, journals, websites, periodicals, etc.) used for researching a topic. 

An annotated bibliography includes a summary, assessment, and reflection of each of the sources.  To understand this, consider the following descriptions:

Ø  Summarize: What are the main arguments in the source?  What is the point of this book or article?  What topics are covered in it?  If someone were to ask you what the article/book is about, what would you say?

Ø  Assess:  After summarizing the source, evaluate it.  Is it a useful source?  How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography?  Is the information reliable?  Is it biased or objective?  What is the goal of the source?

Ø  Reflect:  How does this source fit into your research?  How was it helpful to you, and how does it help to shape your approach to the topic you have chosen?  Has it changed the way you think about your topic?

Remember:  The bibliographic information of the source itself (title, author, publisher or website, date, etc.) must conform to MLA format (see https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html ).  

Here is an example of an annotated reference.  First, you will list the source in bold print, as shown below:

Gilligan, James. Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic.  New York:  Vintage Books, 1997.

·  Paragraph 1: Under the source you will first offer a brief summary of what this book says about your topic.

·  Paragraph 2:  You will then explain how this source is appropriate to your research and offer some criticisms of it.  Does it seem like a reliable and current source?  Why?  Is the research objective or biased?  Are the facts well documented?  Is the author qualified?  Is the book scholarly, popular, or both?

·  Paragraph 3:  After summarizing and assessing, you can reflect on this source.  How does it fit into your research?  Is it helpful?  Too scholarly?  Not scholarly enough?  Too general or specific?  Has it helped you to narrow your topic?

Important:  In this proposal, include three sources only.  (For your actual research paper, you should increase the number of sources as needed).  Use three sources of different types, for example one book, one article, one website.  Cite each one correctly according to MLA format.

Section 3:  Write a brief conclusion to your proposal, in which you can comment on difficulties you are having and ways you might seek additional help.

Guidelines for Research Paper:

Assignment description:

For this assignment, I would like each one of you to propose a topic that you would like to find out more about. Your topic should be somehow related to one of our subthemes. For instance, you may want to find out more about the Rwanda genocide or the long and brutal war in Liberia and Sierra Leone or the so-called partition of India. Or you may want to focus on the Belgian colonization of the Congo and/or its aftermath. Or you may decide to research the life and deeds of Thomas Sankara, whom I am sure not many of you have heard of before. Or you may want to focus on immigration (to the US or elsewhere) and explore how this topic is related to some of the topics we have been discussing. You can also choose a topic of your own, as long as it is approved by me.

Note that you must send me a short proposal (one-two pages) with an annotated bibliography at least one month before this assignment is due. See below.

Requirements:

·  The paper must be 8-10 pages (2000-2500 words).

·  You must use at least six sources, only two of which can be course readings and two more can be online or Internet-based (with the exception of journal articles). In other words, at least two of your sources must be independently researched books, book chapters, or scholarly articles.

·  Do not use Wikipedia as one of your sources. You should feel free to read Wikipedia for information and ideas, but if you want to quote and/or paraphrase, you should go to the original source(s).

·  The essay must be typed and double-spaced in 12-point font. 

·  Use MLA style. See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/.

Assignment: SCIE207 Phase 3 Lab Report
 
 
 
Title: Heredity Lab 
 
 
 
Instructions: You will need to write a 1- page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following questions:
 
·         State which genes are dominant (the genes that get expressed over the other genes) and which genes are recessive (the genes that will not be expressed when the dominant gene is present).
 
·         How do you know which genes are which?
 
·         What is the ratio that is most likely to be observed across all traits?
 
 
 
When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
 
 
 
Part 1: Using the lab animation, fill in the following data table to help you generate your hypothesis, outcomes, and analysis:
 
 
 
Punnett Square
 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
Complete the following (Audesirk, Audesirk, & Byers, 2008):
 
 
 
1.      Assign letters to the different alleles; use uppercase for dominant and lowercase for recessive.
 
2.      Determine all of the types of genetically different gametes that can be produced by the male and female parents.
 
3.      Draw the Punnett Square, with each row and column labeled with one of the possible genotypes of sperm and eggs, respectively. (The fractions of these genotypes are included with each label.)
 
4.      Fill in the genotype of the offspring in each box by combining the genotype of sperm in its row with the genotype of the egg in its column. (Multiply the fraction of sperm of each type in the row headers by the fraction of eggs of each type in the column headers.)
 
5.      Count the number of offspring with each genotype. (Note that Pp is the same as pP.)
 
6.      Convert the number of offspring of each genotype to a fraction of the total number of offspring.
 
 
 
Part 2: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:
 

Purpose

State the purpose of the lab.

Introduction

This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.

Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome

A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.

Methods

Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.

Results/Outcome

Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.

Discussion/Analysis

In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

 
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.
 
Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
 
      When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.

Plz try this as what did you think about as you read through the article youve chosen; most people are unsure of what or how to write for this assignment, which is why I provide examples from earlier classes you can look at find them by navigating to the “Intro Module” and look at the “Miscellaneous Files and Documents” Page for access to the files; I would suggest reading through each of these, then perhaps choose to emulate the ones you like, or improve upon those you don’t

Personal Essay Shakespeare

DO NOT USE SPARKNOTES OR ANYTHING THAT WILL GET ME FLAGGED

BEFORE READING THE PROMPT THESE ARE THE PLAYS WE HAVE READ

The Merchant of Venice
A Midsummers Night Dream
Much Ado About Nothing
Hamlet

The Prompt

Your final essay for this course asks you to take a more personal approach to Shakespeare and the plays
weve read this term. In this essay, explore some insight into human nature or human social life that
Shakespeare teaches you in one or more of the plays weve read this spring. Im not suggesting that
Shakespeare sets out to teach us, or that his plays are didactic; what I mean is that we learn about the
human condition through the dramatic situations and language of the plays. You should focus on one
particular lesson or insight, and you may use one or more than one play to explore your topic. Be careful
not to write a catalogue of lessons or insights; focus the essay on a single idea that you can develop with
examples, details, and explanations. Please focus on the written texts, and not on any of the productions
we screened. You are welcome to mention other relevant Shakespeare plays, but keep your focus on one or
more of the four plays we read as a class.
A personal essay is most effectively written in the first-person. I know that youve been frequently told that
you shouldnt use the first-person in academic writing, but the personal essay, as a genre, is distinctive; its
voice and style are, indeed, personal because the essay is primarily concerned with your own experiences,
perceptions, and feelings. That doesnt mean, however, that the voice should be conversational; you are still
writing in an academic context and about a serious subject. If you have particular questions about writing a
personal essay, please contact me or work with a Writing Center consultant. Whilst this is a personal essay,
you must still quote from the play(s) in order to illustrate and support what you say about your response.
