I propose to study and research the history of hydrocarbon fuel and its development and its impacts on a global scale. The use of wood, peat, coal, crude, natural gas, coal gas etc. of has evolved over time as alternative sources of carbon energy.
Appendices
Appendix 1: M.A. Theses
M.A. theses are expected to contain the following elements:
Abstract: Includes the following components: purpose of the research, methodology,
findings, and conclusion. The body of the abstract is limited to 150-200 words.14
Introduction: Identifies student’s specific research question and sets the general context for
the study.
This section should include
a statement of the problem or general research question and context leading to a
clear statement of the specific research question;
background and contextual material justifying why this case or topic should be
studied; and
a purpose statement.
Literature Review: Reviews the literature on a specific research question. The literature
review focuses on discussing how other researchers have addressed the same or similar
research questions. It introduces the study and places it in larger context that includes a
discussion of why it is important to study this case. It provides the current state of
accumulated knowledge as it relates to the student’s specific research question.
Summarize the general state of the literature (cumulative knowledge base) on the
specific research question:
o Study one: summarize to include researcher’s findings, how those findings
were obtained, and evaluation of biases in the findings.
o Study two: summarize to include researcher’s findings, how those findings
were obtained, and evaluation of biases in the findings.
o Include a minimum of at least three of the most important studies.
Include a short conclusion and transition to the next section.
