Final Project Proposal
In Week 8, we will concentrate on where mathematics is headed in the 21st century. To support our discussion, each student will research and write a final paper.
Plan Your Project
There are five steps to completing the final project.
1. You should select a topic which primarily addresses some aspect of mathematics in the 21st century. A good way to start is to ask a question which you then try to answer through research and analysis.
2. Identify a topic, write a proposal, and receive approval.
3. Research the topic using at least 8 sources. At least 3 of these must be peer-reviewed. You are encouraged to use the ESC online library databases.
Yikes! How do you pick a topic when we haven’t even studied 21st century math? The attached Final Project Instructions.doc have suggestions to help you choose.
Remember: Critical thinking — your analysis and ideas supported by references properly cited, counts heavily. Your written assignment is intended to test your understanding of important concepts and to sharpen your intellectual skills of analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application. The intent of the written assignment is to provide an opportunity to more fully describe, explain, and analyze your reading and research.
References are required. All words and ideas that are not your own must have text notes in a standard academic format. You must provide a properly formatted bibliography, including accurate URLs for websites. I do check sources. Remember that sources should be provided in a format that makes it easy for the reader to access.
