    Writing Assignment 1: Research Proposals

    About this Assignment

    In this assignment, you will complete a research proposal that prepares you for developing a full research paper. This proposal will help you explore a topic of your choosing, develop key research questions, identify a possible argumentative position, and review the existing scholarship on the issue.

    Your goal is to demonstrate the foundational steps of academic research writing: topic selection, inquiry development, preliminary argumentation, and source evaluation. The work you complete here will serve as the foundation for later assignments.

    Course Learning Outcomes

    The following course learning outcomes are assessed in this assignment:

    Plan research projects by producing effective research proposals and research paper outlines

    Conduct primary and secondary research using relevant and reputable sources.

    Use key citation styles, including MLA, APA, and Chicago, in notes and bibliographies.

    Prompt

    By the end of this course, you will have completed a research project, including a research paper on an accessible, real-world issue. To begin the process, you first must create a formal research proposal (1,200-1,500 words) that helps you explore and refine your topic.

    For this proposal, choose a researchable issue.

    Possible areas include education, health, technology, environment, public policy, social issues, work and labor, or other contemporary concerns.

    Your topic must be debatable, supported by credible sources, and appropriate for an argumentative research paper.

    Your research proposal must include the following sections.

    1. Topic Overview (250-300 words)

    Explain the issue you selected. Include:

    A clear description of the core debate or controversy

    Why the issue matters to a particular community or group

    An overview of different perspectives on the issue

    2. Key Research Questions (200-300 words)

    List and explain the 3-5 major questions you plan to answer in your research. These questions will guide your research and argumentative planning. These questions should be:

    Open-ended

    Researchable

    Directly tied to the issue you selected

    Designed to help you investigate causes, impacts, and possible solutions

    3. Short Literature Review (500-600 words)

    3 / 10

    Summarize at least 5 reputable academic sources on the topic that you may use in your full essay. For each source:

    Present the author’s main argument or findings

    Explain how the source contributes to understanding the issue

    Note strengths and weaknesses of the source and its arguments

    4. Preliminary Argument (250-300 words)

    State your initial stance on the issue. This reflects your current thinking based on early research and may evolve in Assignment 2. Also include a reasonable opposing view that you can investigate and include as part of your piece.

    Formatting & Sources

    Please use the MLA format for your research proposal. You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least 5 credible, external sources and cite them using MLA format. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in MLA (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

    Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases documented or published at the time.

    Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such the Journal of American Studies. You may use sources like JSTOR, Google Scholar, a Gale to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)

  • Wk 5 Summative Assessment: Project Implementation Presentati…

    Structuring and managing projects require a project manager to look at a project holistically to ensure the project implementation is going as planned or being adapted to what is needed. Project managers must collect data and use the performance information to analyze, evaluate, and communicate the projects success. Managing projects is not an easy task, and a project manager must be able to communicate the process behind the decisions that were made.

    In this assessment, you will present your decision-making process on the methods, models, and artifacts you would use if you were to become the new project manager on a project. This assessment will challenge you to verbalize your thought process and understand how your decisions can affect the project outcome.

    Assessment Prep

    Review the , , and documents.

    Review the continuation of the scenario:

    The current project manager for the hospital project has been reassigned to a new high-priority initiative, leaving an opportunity for you to step into the role of project manager for the Food Asset Tracking Project. Having previously tailored the project charter for this initiative, you are well-acquainted with its unique requirements and challenges. The department manager has now invited you to present how you would lead and implement the project. Your presentation should outline your proposed structuring methodologies, performance tracking strategies, and overall approach to ensuring the projects success.

    The Food Asset Tracking Project comes with specific challenges tied to the food industry, such as ensuring regulatory compliance, managing inventory, navigating supply chain logistics, and maintaining quality standards. As a candidate for the role of project manager, you are tasked with developing and presenting a project proposal to stakeholders. Your proposal should outline how you would effectively address these challenges while achieving the projects objectives. Additionally, it should demonstrate why you are the best choice to lead this initiative, showcasing your strategies, methodologies, and ability to deliver successful results in a complex environment.

    Assessment Deliverable

    Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation, with appropriate images and detailed speaker notes, that summarizes the way you would manage and implement the project if promoted to project manager.

    You may use the provided . Include the following in your presentation:

    • Initiating the Project and Planning:
    • Outline the project structuring methodologies you would implement, such as waterfall, agile, scrum, lean, or critical path.
    • Provide a detailed explanation of why these methodologies are well-suited to this project, particularly in addressing the unique challenges of the food industry. Highlight how they enable effective monitoring, control, and adaptability.
    • Performance Tracking:
    • Identify the critical aspects you would track to ensure project performance, such as metrics, milestones, and deliverables.
    • Explain how your chosen methodology facilitates the tracking process, ensuring visibility and alignment with project goals.
    • Management of Project Artifacts:
    • Explain how you will manage project artifacts, including project documents, reports, and plans, to ensure they are accurate, complete, and readily available.
    • Describe the processes or tools you will use to ensure timely updates and organization of artifacts throughout each phase of the project.
    • Quality Management Plan:
    • Describe your approach to maintaining high-quality standards for the project. Include specific techniques, processes, or tools that will ensure compliance with industry standards and project requirements.
    • Explain how quality will be consistently monitored and enhanced throughout the project’s lifecycle.
    • Risk Management and Mitigation Strategies:
    • Discuss how you will identify, analyze, and address the risks outlined in the probability matrix.
    • Propose specific mitigation strategies tailored to the food industrys context, such as managing regulatory compliance risks, inventory challenges, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

    Each section should include clear, actionable strategies and demonstrate how your approach will contribute to the success of the Food Asset Tracking Project. Incorporate relevant visuals or diagrams where appropriate to enhance clarity and stakeholder engagement.
