If 6 pages are not enough I will pay for the extra pages.
And my next order will use this outline to finish it.
I will give you my syllabus, all the articles’ titles that we read will be on it. Cause I don’t have our reader’s pdf you can only google the brief story by using the titles. After you choose the sources that will be used in the research paper I can scan them and send to you.
Prompt Assignment #2: Research Paper Proposal Outline
Although the Research Paper Outline is a proposal of your research project and, therefore, a work-in-progress, it is the most important assignment of the quarter. If begun early and done well, it will ensure success in your final paper and make it easy to write! In this assignment you will write a succinct, complete description of your research project in outline form including what you have accomplished thus far and your vision for where you plan to go.
What is a Research Proposal?
The following description of a research proposal was adapted from: https://libguides.usc.edu/writingguide/researchproposal
A research proposal is a document written by a scientist or scholar to describe the ideas and plan for the investigation of a specific topic. Its purpose is to present and justify the need to study a research problem and to present the practical ways in which the proposed study should be conducted according to required guidelines and policies. Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews. They must provide persuasive evidence that a need exists (what MMW calls a conceptual problem) for the proposed study and that your research addresses. In addition to providing a rationale, a proposal describes detailed methodology for conducting the research consistent with requirements of the program (in this case, MMW Guidelines) and a statement on anticipated outcomes and/or benefits derived from the study’s completion.
Learning Outcomes:
develop your skills in planning and designing a comprehensive research study;
learn how to conduct a comprehensive review of the literature to determine how a conceptional problem has or has not already been addressed (or you may determine that the problem has been answered ineffectively] and, in so doing, become better at locating scholarship related to your topic;
improve your general research and writing skills with university resources;
practice identifying the logical steps that must be taken to accomplish one’s research goals;
critically review, examine, and consider evidence related to the research problem; and,
nurture a sense of inquisitiveness within yourself and to help you see yourself as an active participant in the process of doing scholarly research.
A proposal should contain sufficient information that allows readers (your TA) to assess the validity and usefulness of your proposed study. The only elements missing from a research proposal are the findings of the study and your analysis of those results (what you will present in your final paper). Finally, an effective proposal is judged on the quality of your writing and, therefore, it is important that your writing is coherent, clear, and compelling.
Think through the following questions:
What do you plan to accomplish? Be clear and succinct in defining the research problem and what it is you are proposing to research.
Why did you choose this project? In addition to detailing your research design, you also must conduct a thorough review of the literature and provide convincing evidence that it is a topic worthy of study, that it has significance. Be sure to answer the “So What?” question.
How are you going to do it? Be sure that what you propose is doable in a 10-week quarter.
What have you done so far?
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Failure to be concise; being “all over the map” without a clear sense of purpose.
Failure to cite landmark works in your literature review.
Failure to delimit the contextual boundaries of your research [e.g., time, place, people, etc.].
Failure to develop a coherent and persuasive argument for the proposed research.
Failure to stay focused on the research problem; going off on unrelated tangents.
Failure to cite your sources where needed
Sloppy or imprecise writing, or poor grammar and mechanics that impede comprehensibility.
Feedback and Revision
Your Research Project Proposal will help you organize your research and stick to your plan. It will also give your TA a chance to intervene with support, resources, or suggestions. Once you submit your Research Proposal Outline, you may not change the topic of your research project without close communication with your TA (preferably in person) and your TAs approval. You may be asked to submit a revised outline before that approval can be given. _________________________________
Model Research Paper Proposal Outline
Working Title: This May Change During the Course of Your Research and Writing
I. Option 1 or Option 2? Simply state which Option you have selected.
II. Abstract – Write a 100-word brief summary of your research project as it has developed so far and your vision for the final paper.
III. Topic 7
A. One sentence about a conceptual problem you are trying to solve.
B. Your research question and how it will address the problem
IV. Research of the Literature
A. Source #1 (in MLA format) and one sentence explaining, the relevance of this source and how you intend to use it in your project.
B. Source #2 ditto
C. Source #3 ditto
D. Source #4 ditto
E. Source #5 ditto
F. Etc. List all primary and secondary sources you are considering at this time or that you have already read. This way, your TA can provide feedback and make suggestions for the direction of your project.
V. Status of Findings A summary of key observations, debates, or arguments made by scholars
A. List an observation you have made in answer to the question
B. List another
C. And as many others as you need to show your TA that you are considering alternative evidence and your project.
D. If you have read and observed enough to make an argument (thesis and supporting evidence), you can list it as such here.
VI. Project Completion Plan
A. Outline a research/writing plan for the next four weeks.
VII. Request for Feedback
A 100-150 word request for feedback on the specific parts of your project with which you are still having trouble. This will help your TA give you the feedback you are seeking whether thats regarding research, organization, making an argument, or writing.
Grading Rubric (Paper 2)
Research Paper Proposal Outline
Your outline will demonstrate university level research, argumentation, and writing if it achieves the following:
1. Outline is clearly organized, correctly formatted as an outline, and complete. Explains any gaps or missing parts with a description of a plan to fill these.
2. Primary source(s) are intentionally selected and integrated extensively and effectively into the project
3. Significant and sufficient outside research at this stage demonstrates the use of university research resources. Source substance, currency, authority, relevance, accuracy, and bias are addressed.
4. Sufficient and intentionally-selected scholarly sources reveals viability of the project up to this point. Writer demonstrates close reading of each source.
5. Bibliographic entries are accurately listed in MLA format.
6. Observations and findings (debates, evidence, arguments) give the project focus.
7. A projected research/writing plan demonstrates likelihood of successful completion of the project.
8. Request for Feedback is authentic, specific, and focused enough for grader to provide guidance and suggestions for success.
9. Writing is comprehensible and clear. Outline is proofread and free of major or frequent errors in grammar and mechanics.
A-range: Advanced. Meets all of the above criteria at an exceptionally high level, demonstrating university-level and upper-division-level work.
B-range: Proficient. Meets most of the above criteria at a high level with issues (minor to more serious) that interfere with full realization of goals. The work meets expectations for a college-level research paper, but does not demonstrate proficiency in most areas due to significant errors, lack of effort or attention to the prompt, or lack of use of resources provided.
C-range: Competent. Meets most of the above criteria at a minimal level, enough to demonstrate competency. The work meets minimal expectations for a college-level research paper, but may not demonstrate proficiency in most areas due to significant errors, lack of effort or attention to the prompt, or neglect of resources provided to insure proficiency.
D-range: Novice. Overall, the work demonstrates lack of competency or familiarity with college level research and writing skills. Writer can move into competency or proficiency in the future by using university resources to practice skills or by visiting TA/professor in office hours for help.
F Insufficient. Significant criteria (three tutorials, annotations, summary) are missing or work do not demonstrate effort in many areas. TA may have difficulty understanding the basic plan of the research project and, therefore, may be unable to provide helpful feedback. Please see your TA immediately for assistance and resources.
