I. Description
The student will find a topic of interest and perform in-depth
work on that topic. The project must be sufficiently complex to
require the expertise of a junior-senior level student. The

2. student must narrow the topic from the broad topics listed
below:
Project topics must not be those previously developed in the
mid-term group projects. Topics may be in the areas of :
Technology Issues in the Workplace;
Social Institutions and the Effect of Technology;
International Perspectives and Issues;
Anonymity, Security, Privacy, and Civil Liberties;
Intellectual Property Rights and Computer Technology;
Software Issues: Risks and Liabilities, Computer Crimes,
Technology Ethics, and Privacy; and Preservation of Data for
Future Use.
A student should first check the thread before posting his/her
topic. The first student to notify the instructor by email will
take precedence over any other student. For example, if “A
Comparison of IT development in Singapore with IT
development in France” is chosen, then the second student will
have to choose another topic.
All topics require the approval of the instructor. Discuss
questions relating to the paper with the instructor at any time
necessary. E-mail your instructor at any time.
II. Learning Objectives
Read and research problems created by technology in society
and some ways to modify or prevent these problems. Discuss
these in the paper.
Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the topic by
comparing/contrasting data.
Gather information by:
reading the course textbooks, reading documentation materials
contacting “experts” on the topic
researching library materials
using the Internet
All of the above information gathering sources will be
documented in the research paper following MLA or APA
format (not a combination of both). The content of the research
paper is fairly open. See the description above.

3. III. Criteria for the Paper
Note a few of the common reasons why the Individual research
term paper would not meet the minimum standards:
Too easy. As stated above, the work must be “sufficiently
complex to require the expertise of junior-senior level
students.”
Too little time spent in research and writing.
Overlap of another course. If the content of the research paper
involves concepts covered in another course(s), then it must be
of a different or more complex nature. It includes the
understanding that the student will complete all of the
work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Park University’s
honesty regulations as found in the School of Online Learning
will be followed.
Using only one source for the research. This is
not
a book report.
Each student will submit a topic to the Topic Discussion Thread
by the end of Week 3. This will allow ample time to be reading
and accumulating research data for the Introduction to the paper
due at the end of Week 5.
IV. Individual Research Term Paper Format
The research paper should follow the grading criteria below.
It should include a minimum of 8 to 10 references cited.
Use of the Kizza and Annual Editions textbooks as primary
sources is encouraged. Internet sources may not be used
exclusively. The number of resources is largely dependent on
the quality of the sources and the research paper topic. The
research paper should follow a similar format to that found in
technical journals and the format of this Guideline. In
particular, it must include the following items:
Title of Presentation on Title page
Outline or Table of Contents
