Research Proposal Thread: What Are You Writing About?

Before participating in this discussion board, please make sure you've carefully read the research project assignment and located two potential secondary sources. In addition, you will want to remind yourself of our discussion board standards by reviewing the discussion board rubric   download

. Submit an initial post that that answers the following questions in paragraph form (5 to 7 sentences): What do you want to write on, and why? What are you interested in here? That is, what do you think you might learn from this research? Or, what question(s) do you seek to answer? What sort of research sources have you found to this point? Specifically identify at least two secondary sources (by title, author, and location of source) that you found through our library resources (i.e. the library catalog, the library databases, or Mobius).

You should address these questions in sentence and paragraph form: you are trying to clearly explain to us why you want to do this particular project and why is might be interesting. Give us a sense that you know what you are doing and that you want to do it. 

Make sure your initial post is up by the listed due date.

After your initial post, comment, offering constructive feedback, on two of your classmates’ proposals within the next couple of days.

Responses need to be submitted by the following Saturday.

And, finally, it should go without saying that we a required to be respectful and courteous at all times.
