Final Applied Research Project Overview
During this final week of class, you will be submitting an applied research paper as your final assignment for the course. The purpose of this paper is to show your understanding of key topics within the course through the application of the concept to a real world challenge or opportunity. You will choose the topic of the paper and you will be responsible for identifying an environment to which you can apply your research.
The final paper should meet the following requirements:
8 – 10 pages in length (not including title page)
A minimum of 5 peer reviewed sources
A title page
Double spaced, new times roman, 12 point font
A works cited page or footnotes (if footnotes are used, then footnotes should be times new roman 10 point font)
Direct quotes should account for no more than 15 percent of paper (i.e. use direct quotes sparingly)
Make good use of headers and sections for clear description of paper section
Papers that include an Executive Summary and Table of Contents (not counted towards 8 – 10 page length requirement) are more likely to earn an ‘A’ grade, but including these items does not guarantee an ‘A’
Paper should have three clear sections: 1) description of problem & environment; 2) presentation of topic and research; 3) application of research to environment with particular attention given to how it solves key challenges or creates opportunities.
Section 1–should be approx. 2 pages (20% of paper)
Section 2–should be approx. 4 – 5 pages (40% of paper)
Section 3–should be approx. 4 – 5 pages (40% of paper)
Please note: the Section 1 has already finished, it was in the document “Topic selection”. I would provide it as additional materials, please use it. If you think make some modification would make it more logical, you can do that.
