You can pick I am a woman so make it relatable

1) 2 PG RESEARCH TOPIC ESSAYS DUE SEPT 18 AND ASSOCIATED PEER EXERCISE will be arranged with another student (due within 1 week). Topic paper is 2 page, double spaced essay for 10% of the grade, peer assignment is 5% and will be arranged between pairs of studentsho. Peer exercise will distribute topic papers to other students to proof-read/provide feedback, professor will give grades and there is a resubmit option. a) Indicate whether you are planning a term paper or recorded voice-over presentation (we will arrange the due date for your presentation draft). b) Topic originality is highly valued and feedback will advise regarding topics which are too broad. The topic papers encourage an original exploration of a topic of interest (See list of potential topics on syllabus--or propose your own). c) Provide an essay to describe why you chose the topic, do a preliminary literature review--perhaps a citation or two. Start with an intro paragraph, end with a conclusion. Why is this an issue worthy of study? Can it apply to anything we have learned? d) Familiarize yourself with current peer reviewed research available and describe your planned investigation. We will use APA format (see citation instructions on this syllabus). Keep in mind final term presentations/ papers need at least 5 recent, peer-reviewed sources (e.g., journal article, academic book chapter). e) Additional components could include an interview, a news article, case study (single space and indent), etc. Is there a relevant case study you could include? An interview of a person working in the field? Single space and indent these creative additions. Then you can ‘unpack’ the information in your writing below. f) Must have a title page (which reminds writer to include a title J and their name, other info), g) Writing advice: Try not to use too many direct quotes--FYI DQ citations require a page number. Paraphrase the majority of the research you found—do not copy another’s text word for word (without quotations). Try not to end a sentence in a preposition (at, it, is, of, if, with, so, by, etc.). Usually rearranging your words can prevent this problem. h) First person is okay for this assignment, but the final paper should reflect scientific language (tends to be 3ʳᵈ person). i) Embrace the feedback, it will empower you to improve your future writing. This assignment will provide students with a head start on their final research project—you are encouraged to do the same topic for your final project, but if you decide to change topics—contact Dr. Salari for approval. Constructive feedback on your submission will be provided within the assignment portal. j) If you wish to reply or resubmit with the changes (optional), use regular Canvas email—assignment portal does not notify professor when you respond there—for some reason. You may resubmit the topic paper after you receive your grade (revise and resubmit by beginning of following week). k) The final paper will have an optional draft date, where you can submit, get feedback and resubmit. All presentations must submit at least one draft, until professor approves for posting in a DISCUSSION assignment. 2) FINAL RESEARCH WRITING PROJECT CHOICES: FCS 5370 Students have a choice of a presentation OR term paper research project. These projects are considered equivalent, but represent different forms of expression. a) Grades will be determined in part by a comparison with others who have chosen the same format. b) There will be direct instruction as well as opportunities for feedback and revision on both formats. c) Both options require alphabetized reference list, at least 5 peer reviewed sources and indicators where those citations were utilized in the text of the paper/presentation. A) PRESENTATION— i) Schedule a due date with professor to correspond to course topics. ii) 10 minutes max per student. iii) Presentations will be posted for students in the class to view in DISCUSSION assignments or MODULES (depending on format submitted). iv) You may work as a group if a number of you have a similar topic of interest. Make sure not to duplicate information. Persons in a topic group will each have 10 minutes and will obtain a separate grade, unless a group grade is requested by all students. Timing is important for your grade. v) Record voice-over slides. You can use Youtube, Powerpoint (click Slide Show, Record), MP3 or another common platform. Include a title page. Make sure they are readily available for viewing by your student colleagues. Students must use technology, as well as other creative and interesting methods of presentation for their research. Suggestions include recent research, large font on slides (24 point), minimal wording, outline format, visuals (pictures/diagrams/graphs), etc. vi) Submit draft via CANVAS email. Be aware some files might be very large, so if it cannot load easily, you may need to find another method. vii) Citations: A bibliography or reference list with AT LEAST 5 peer reviewed sources must be submitted at the time of presentation for each presenter. See citation instructions below. Indicate in the bottom corner of each slide the source of your information --then include an APA style list of references at the end of presentation. viii) Submit first draft of slides with your voice-over a week prior to scheduled presentation. Dr. Salari will provide feedback. Revision(s) will occur prior to posting. ix) Due dates will begin the week after Exam 1 (after Fall Break), and schedule varies according to course topic-- If you identify a PRESENTATION option, we need to schedule the presentation timing so the course flows smoothly. We don’t want to go back and forth across topics, causing a lack of organization. x) Information presented will be studied by students and random presentation questions will be included on final exam. OR B) TERM PAPER—8 pgs text (10 pages including bibliography--12 pgs text for graduate students). i) Possible research topics are listed on this syllabus, or students may choose another topic of interest that is relevant to the course. ii) All papers need a title page (including a title, name, course, etc.) iii) Originality is a plus! Some topics are broad and I’ve read thousands –can you teach me something I didn’t already know? iv) CITATION INSTRUCTION SHEET References should be properly cited in the text and alphabetized in the bibliography. Use APA or ASA style--see citation instruction sheet on end of syllabus. v) EARLY DRAFTS OPTIONAL DUE NOV 4 by 11:59 pm, submit online-- You should hear back within a few days. After addressing feedback, you may resubmit again until the due date. vi) FINAL TERM PAPER DUE NOV 18 submitted online PDF format Canvas.
