Writing and Research
Week 2 Introduction (Berkeley College)
This week you will be working on Word Module 2 (Creating a Research paper with References and Sources on pages WD 58-111. You will be creating the Headphones and Earbuds paper by following all of the chapter directions.
In both academic and business environments, you will be asked to write reports. Business reports range from proposals to cost justifications to five-year plans to research findings. Academic reports focus mostly on research findings. A research paper is a document you can use to communicate the results of research findings. To write a research paper, you learn about a particular topic from a variety of sources (research), organize your ideas from the research results, and then present relevant facts and/or opinions that support the topic. Your final research paper combines properly credited outside information along with personal insights. Thus, no two research papers — even if they are about the same topic — will or should be the same.
Next you will complete Lab 1 on pages 116-118 and save the file as your last name Wearable Devices.
