Your Task:
- Identify a topic or issue that is relevant to your field of study and of particular interest to you. This will be the topic for your research project(due later in the course).
- Narrow this topic or issue by focusing on a particular research questionthat you would like to answer in your final research assignment.
- Use the LRC databases to find materials that will help you to answer your question.
Follow the formatting details below (and see the assignment template) to help you present your research question as a proposal email — the word ‘proposal’ is important, because your purpose in this task is to write persuasively enough to get your instructor’s approval and feedback before you begin your research project. Using the email template will help you to ensure that you are providing your instructor with a clear and detailed overview of your research plan
