Writing Assignment: Research Proposal Letter
For this assignment, you will write your research proposal letter. You are required to submit
only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of
the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make
revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.
This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can create change
(Congressperson, business administrators, or other similar audience.) In the proposal, you
need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. As you have already chosen a
topic for your research proposal letter in Topic 6 and conducted an interview that will
become one of your sources for this letter, you do not need to choose a topic. You must use
the same topic that you began researching in Topic 6, and you must use your interview as a
source.
Your research proposal should be presented in a letter format including the following
information:
• Your mailing address (Note: For privacy reasons, you may opt to not disclose your
mailing address when you submit your letter to our graders for review; however,
should you choose to mail your letter to your chosen recipient, you will need to
include your mailing address, as this is a customary business letter practice.) Note
that a formal letter does not require your name in the header. Your name will go at
the end, with your closing.
• The date you wrote the letter
• A name and mailing address for the individual to whom you are writing the letter
• A greeting or salutation
• A closing and your typed name (Note: A written signature is optional for your
submission, but should you choose to send your letter, you would need to include
your written signature between the closing and your typed name.)
Scroll to the end of these instructions for an idea of how you should format this
assignment.

A Paragraph Model in Colours
This model shows the part of an academic paragraph, using colours to indicate the various elements.
Note that this is a “free” paragraph, not based on a class reading.
Note, also, that while this may be a useful model for students, if they use the colour system to construct their paragraphs, they must also do a final version in plain, black print. (This version is enlarged so that it is visible on the classroom screen, but finished work should always be in 12-pt font, usually Times New Roman.)
Teaching international students has taught me as much as I hope it has educated my students. One of the first things I have noticed is how much more knowledgeable I have become about the world in theory and practice. To help, I took courses in teaching methods specifically for non-English students. These courses were designed to show both cultural and linguistic differences in many languages. My courses included ESL from Ministry of Education in Ontario and TESL at St. Mary’s and all were really interesting; but of course the most effective has been the positive attitudes and hard work of the students, themselves. My hope is that this is all making me a much more skillful instructor, too. Understanding the questions my students may have in advance is important to effective teaching. Now I can often anticipate the types of material that will need explaining to my students, so I can try to find out what they will need to know ahead of time. Next week, for example will be Thanksgiving, a holiday which is specific to North America. To explain what it was, though, I needed to check the dates for the American Thanksgiving, which isn’t until November 27. . I believe that the coursework and all of the experience have made me much more thoughtful as a person, too. The actual teaching experience and interaction with so many different students has helped me to understand more about the world as well as myself. Now I understand that different students will respond to information according to their cultural worldviews, and I can see how I am the same. During recent exercises, I had to explain the games of baseball and hockey, as they are not played in most of the countries from which my students come, but we’ve had some great mutual discussion about soccer, which we all know. So, having to draw upon so many different types of understanding has made teaching international students the most satisfying activity I can think of, and one I hope to be doing for a long time.

Writing Exercise: Interview Summary/Synthesis
For this assignment, you will submit only the FINAL copy as there is no DRAFT option. This assignment is
designed to help inform a topic that interests you, and the information you gather here will be used in
your Proposal Letter assignment.
For this assignment, you should be interviewing a person who has expertise about a topic
you are interested in. Please note that you should be conducting the actual interview; you
should not be summarizing an interview conducted by someone else.
Part #1: Choose a Research Topic and an Interviewee
You do not need to submit this portion in writing, but you do need to accomplish this in
preparation for your research assignment.
In preparation for your research proposal letter in the next topic, you will need to choose a
topic for your proposal. This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can
create change (Congressperson, business administrator, or other similar audience.) In the
proposal, you need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. Examples of
strong proposal topics would be things like funding ideas for an animal shelter, starting a
recycling program in a community, suggesting a better plan for public transport, or another
idea that interests you. You will be proposing solutions for these issues. Choose a topic that
you are passionate about and for which you will be able to develop at least one solution.
While this information should be enough for you to choose a topic, please consult the
assignment sheet within Topic 7 if you have more questions about this assignment.
Once you choose a topic, it’s time to choose a credible expert to interview on that subject. In
other words, you should avoid choosing an interviewee who is a close friend or family
member unless that person truly is an expert in the field. This credible expert should have
10+ years of experience in his or her discipline. Choose an interviewee who not only could
offer some specific details about the problem but one who may also be able to offer
suggestions of a plausible solution. Use the information contained in the lesson presentation
to secure and conduct a successful interview.
Part #2: Summarize and Synthesize Your Interview
When you summarize and synthesize, you take the smaller pieces (the sections of the
interview) and develop them into one cohesive piece. Doing this exercise will help you
prepare for the research proposal letter, where you will need to incorporate at least a few
ideas from the interview.
To successfully summarize and synthesize, you might find it helpful to follow this sequence
for your essay:
Provide Background Information:
In your introductory paragraph, introduce your audience to your interviewee. What is his/her
name? What is his/her experience? If relevant, where is the interviewee employed?
Summarize the Interview:
While you want to avoid the all-too-predictable ques.

Code of Ethics: This is a synopsis of some of the most important ethical
considerations you need to be aware of as a professional in the real estate
industry.
Terminology:
Agency: The fiduciary relationship created between a principal and an agent whereby the agent
can act on behalf of the principle for certain transactions. Agency is usually created when the
principal signs a listing agreement to list their property for sale or a management contract to rent
a property for instance.
Agent: The broker or sales associate acting on behalf of the principal (see Agency)
Client: The person with whom the broker or sales associate has a legal contract to represent.
Customer: Is not contractually bound to the industry professional
Principal: Person who hires an agent to act on his or behalf.
Code of Ethics:
#1: The agent has a responsibility to promote the interests of their client(s) and treat all involved
in any real estate transaction in an honest and fair manner. They must disclose if they are a
dual agent (representing both buyer and seller in a transaction) or a designated agent
(represent either the buyer or seller depending on state law), or they are a limited representative
(will provide only certain duties in the transaction per state law).
#2: Agents must openly acknowledge to clients any personal interest they might have in any
transaction prior to showing a property; they must acknowledge any personal relationships
involved. Ex: Agent says, “I want to disclose to you before we look at it, that this property
belongs to is my brother and my sister in-law is his agent.”
#3: The Agent will not allow anyone that is not pre-authorized by the owner, to access the
property of the client.
#4: Never overstate benefits or attributes of a property or opportun.

A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HC.docxsodhi3
A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon.

ome creators announce their inventions with grand
éclat. God proclaimed, “Fiat lux,” and then flooded
his new universe with brightness. Others bring forth
great discoveries in a modest guise, as did Charles
Darwin in defining his new mechanism of evolu-
tionary causality in 1859: “I have called this principle, by which
each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natur-
al Selection.”
Natural selection is an immensely powerful yet beautifully
simple theory that has held up remarkably well, under intense
and unrelenting scrutiny and testing, for 135 years. In essence,
natural selection locates the mechanism of evolutionary change
in a “struggle” among organisms for reproductive success, lead-
ing to improved fit of populations to changing environments.
(Struggle is often a metaphorical description and need not be
viewed as overt combat, guns blazing. Tactics for reproductive
success include a variety of nonmartial activities such as earlier
and more frequent mating or better cooperation with partners
in raising offspring.) Natural selection is therefore a principle of
local adaptation, not of general advance or progress.
Yet powerful though the principle may be, natural selection
is not the only cause of evolutionary change (and may, in many
cases, be overshadowed by other forces). This point needs em-
phasis because the standard misapplication of evolutionary the-
ory assumes that biological explanation may be equated with
devising accounts, often speculative and conjectural in practice,
about the adaptive value of any given feature in its original en-
vironment (human aggression as good for hunting, music and
religion as good for tribal cohesion, for example). Darwin him-
self strongly emphasized the multifactorial nature of evolu-
tionary change and warned against too exclusive a reliance on
natural selection, by placing the following statement in a max-
imally conspicuous place at the very end of his introduction: “I
am convinced that Natural Selection has been the most impor-
tant, but not the exclusive, means of modification.”
Reality versus Conceit
N A T U R A L S E L E C T I O N is not fully sufficient to explain evo-
lutionary change for two major reasons. First, many other caus-
es are powerful, particularly at levels of biological organization
both above and below the traditional Darwinian focus on or-
ganisms and their struggles for reproductive success. At the low-
est level of substitution in individual base pairs of DNA, change
is often effectively neutral and therefore random. At higher lev-
els, involving entire species or faunas, punctuated equilibrium
can produce evolutionary trends by selection of species based
on their rates of origin and extirpation, whereas mass extinc-
tions wipe out substantial parts of biotas for reasons unrelat-
ed to adaptive struggles of constituent species in “normal”

Presentation Style
Your research project needs to be clearly presented:
·
The front page should include your
name, project title (around 15 words), your supervisor’s name, the date it
was completed;
·
Work should be presented single
sided, in Arial, minimum font size 11 and be one and a half spaced;
·
A contents page detailing the section
and any tables/charts should be included;
·
Any quotes of less than 12 words
should be identified by quotation marks and kept as part of the paragraph text;
·
Quotes of 12 words and above should
be separated out from the text, indented on the left and right and be displayed
in italics (no quotation marks required);
·
All tables and charts should be
numbered appropriately and have a title;
·
Each section of your project should
be started on a new page;
·
All pages should be numbered;
·
Each section should be numbered (e.g.
1. Introduction) and any charts/graphs within the section should be numbered
accordingly. For example if you are writing about something in section 4.1 (the
first sub-section) then the first chart or graph would be 4.11. So charts and
graphs (if included) are numbered according to the section/sub-section.
Word limit
The project should be written up in
no more than 12,000
words
. This includes everything except the reference list, any appendices
and acknowledgements.
A
final checklist:
1.

found?
2.
Does
your contents page signpost chapter subheadings as well as chapter headings?
3.
Has
your introduction made clear the sub questions/objectives you are addressing in
this enquiry
4.
Is
a framework presented in your lit review chapter and a methodological approach
presented in your methodology chapter, and is it clear how this framework and
methodology inform your data collection, presentation of findings and
discussion and reflections? Have you discussed your positionality?
5.
Does
your discussion chapter relate closely to the data in your results chapter and
tie back to the literature in your literature review?
6.
Have
you answered your research questions?
7.
Have
you carefully considered any ethical implications of your research?
8.
Have
you included a signed, anonymised ethics form in the appendix?
9.
Does
your conclusion summarise what has been found out about the questions you set
yourself in your introduction?
10.
Have you kept to the 12,000 word
limit?
11.

Alistair Cockburn
• What’s Alistair’s take on Iterative vs. Incremental?
Incremental vs. Iterative
• in incremental development, you do each of those
activities multiple times … that is, you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. (“iterate” –
get it? sigh…)
• in iterative development, you also do each of those
activities multiple times … you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. By Gummy!
Both of those are “iterative” development! WOW!

Incremental vs. Iterative (cont’d)
• Of course, the $200,000 question is,
do you repeat the cycle “on the same
part of the system you just got done
with” or “on a new part of the
system”? How you answer that
question yields very different results
on what happens next on your
project.
Roles
• Product Owner (Business)
– Represents the customer
– Controls the product backlog
– Signs off on deliverables
• The Scrum Master
– Ensures scrum values are understood and kept
– Tracks progress and finds ways to overcome obstacles
• The Development Team
– The people actually responsible for delivering the system
– Self-organizing unit
– Members of the team are generalists not specialists
• Cross functional (Each member of the team knows all aspects of the
product that is being developed)

Feminist Figures or Damsels in Distress?
The Media’s Gendered Misrepresentation
of Disney Princesses
Isabelle Gill | University of Central Florida
A gender bias seems to exist when discussing Disney princesses in entertainment media that could have
significant consequences for girls who admire these heroines. Prior research and my own extensions have
shown that modern princesses display almost equal amounts of masculine and feminine qualities; how-
ever, my research on film reviews shows an inaccurate representation of these qualities. These media
perpetuate sexist ideals for women in society by including traditionally feminine vocabulary, degrading
physical descriptions, and inaccuracies about the films, as well as syntax and critiques that trivialize the
heroines’ accomplishments and suggest the characters are not empowered enough. The reviews also
encourage unhealthy competition between the princesses and devote significantly more words to these
negative trends than to positive discussions. These patterns result in the depiction of the princesses as
more stereotypically feminine and weak than is indicated by the films themselves, which hinders the cre-
ation of role models for girls.
Despite significant strides women have made
toward combatting sexism in American
society, news and entertainment media rep-
resentations of women continue to be one of
the many obstacles left before reaching
equality. Numerous studies have identified
gender bias in the ways media represent
women (Fink and Kensicki; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Media tend to favor
representations of women who are “tradi-
tionally feminine” as well as not “too able,
too powerful, or too confident,” over more
complex representations (Wood 33). For
example, research by Janet Fink and Linda
Jean Kensicki shows that when media aimed
at both men and women discuss female ath-
letes, their focus is on sex appeal, fashion,
and family rather than athletic accomplish-
ment. Female scientists as well as female
members of Congress also fall victim to this
trend. Interviews with male scientists often
portray them as primarily professionals
while interviews with female scientists tend
to reference their professionalism while high-
lighting domesticity and family life (Shacar).
Similarly, media descriptions of the female
members of Congress focus on domestic
issues even though the congresswomen por-
tray themselves as having diverse interests
(Niven and Zilber). In sum, biased, gendered
representations of women are common in
various forms of media.
Media misrepresentation of women in
these ways can lead to significant social
consequences, such as reinforcing anti-
quated gender roles and diminishing the
perception of women’s impact on society
(England, Descartes, and Collier-Meek;
Fink and Kensicki; Graves; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Since media are

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
