The document provides instructions for combining sections from previous assignments into a final project paper. It directs the student to copy their introduction from the genre analysis paper, then paste the full genre analysis. It then has them add a new heading titled "From Genres to Arguments: The Structure of Roller Coasters" and paste the introduction from their annotated bibliography below it. The student is then told to paste the paragraph they wrote in their journal that day. Finally, it instructs them to paste their inquiry paper below that. It reminds the student to finish all sections of the inquiry paper before the next class for peer review.

Research Paper Guidelines
Understanding the process that undergirds principles of research is a primary objective for this course. This project includes a thorough review of literature related the Counseling field. This project should include (1) a title page; (2) an abstract; (3) an introduction to the paper; (4) the review of literature; (5) a methods section; (6) a complete list of references used.
The paper that you will submit should be organized to carefully review research done on a particular topic of your choosing. In the review of literature, you will find it easier and more consistent to use the past tense when describing studies because they have already been completed. Therefore, you should write in the past tense for a scholarly audience, and should use clear and short sentences that generally avoid the use of personal pronouns (e.g., “I”). APA guidelines specify that your manuscript should be double spaced throughout, left justified (with regular “ragged right” margins), and margins should be set to 1 inch on all sides. Please check the Publication Manual of the APA.
Structure of the Paper
Title Page
Title. The title should summarize the main idea of the paper and include the main topic and actual theoretical issue investigated. Good titles are short (< 20 words) and would serve as a type of index of the main issues covered, including the nature of the tasks, participants, or other important variables. Type the title centered, in upper and lower cases, double-spaced.
Running head. Each page of your manuscript has a brief “title” (running head) printed in the upper right hand corner of the manuscript. It should be a maximum of 50 characters, and be followed by the specific page number for that page. A notation as to the specific Running head should be located in all caps, flush left at the top of the title page. For example, on your title page you would show (in the upper left hand corner):
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
RESEARCH PROPOSAL - 1
Running head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL
On every subsequent page the running head would be right-justified with the page number. [Note: your running head would specify the content of your selected review] For example:
Research Proposal: - 2
Abstract
(This is your section header; centered on the page)
Page two is the Abstract for the paper. It is a brief (150-200 words) comprehensive summary of the research proposal. The Running head and the number 2 are typed in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The word “Abstract” is centered as the first line of type on this page. Type the abstract as a single paragraph in block format (i.e., without paragraph indentation). You may also want to list keywords from your paper in your abstract. To do this, center the text and type Keywords: (it ...

Psyc 100 Term
Assignments
Rationale
► Psychology relies on a variety of research methods in order to come to
a better understanding of behaviour and other phenomena. Most
research methods can be classified either as experiments or as non-
experimental designs and it is important for students of psychology to
be able to clearly differentiate which type of a design is being used in
any specific study. As such, one goal of the term assignments is for
you to be able to find different studies relating to a specific topic and
identify which type of research method the study uses to address the
questions of interest.
► In addition, reading and interpreting published research are important
skills that all scientists must develop. The term assignments for this
course will allow you to demonstrate that you can read, summarize
and interpret research literature related to one specific topic within the
scope covered in Psychology 100.
Overview
►two components
Assignment #1 – Article Selection
►worth 3%
►due start of class Tuesday Feb. 21st
Assignment #2 – Article Summaries

►due start of class Thursday March 22nd
Assignment #1 – Rationale
►an essential early step in any empirical
investigation involves a review of the
published literature relevant to the specific
topic under investigation
►this assignment will familiarize you with
locating “good” research articles as well as
introducing you to some aspects of a
standard format – namely, APA format
►on WebCT you have been assigned a
general topic
you need to find a more specific research issue
related to that topic
also have date and author restrictions
►An efficient way of finding published
research that relates to your topic is to
conduct a literature search using PsycINFO
Using PsycINFO
Introduction
For your assignment you will need to find articles
published in scholarly/academic journal. Luckily
you don’t need to skim through hundreds of
journals looking for a good article. You don’t
need to look through hundreds of Google results
either.
This tutorial will introduce you to PsycINFO, an
online psychology index which is like a very
specialized version of Google. PsycINFO will
find citations for articles on your topic, and will
even lead you to the actual articles.
Research Topic
Let’s assume you’re interested in
investigating further the phenomenon of
bystander intervention that Darley and
Latane first examined in the 1960’s
so you’re interested in articles referenced
in PsycINFO that have bystander
intervention as a subject

ProjectHouston’sFaults.Students willcarry out Internet res.docxbriancrawford30935
Project: Houston’s Faults.
Students will carry out Internet research on faults in and around Houston Texas. Your research should look at the following aspects related to faults.
· The origin of faults in the Houston area
· The distribution of faults in the area
· The type of faults (normal, reverse, strike slip etc.)
· How the faults impact city planning (location of airports, major highways, stadiums, city center, sewage lines etc. in relation to the major faults)
· Faults and earthquakes
· As a geoscience student, how can your knowledge of the origin, distribution and types of fault be useful to city planners?
Students will present this information in the form of a power point slide. Your power point should include all relevant information including sketches, photos, maps and should have a reference section.
EXAMPLE ON HOW YOU CAN FORMAT YOUR PRESENTATION: you will create a slide show then print it out and turn it in a black folder. You do not need to send it to me via email
1st slide Intro: What are faults? (types of faults; normal, reverse, strike slip etc)
*have figures but let them stand alone (meaning the should be on there on slide)
2nd slide Faults in Houston Texas
Origin of faults (what cause them)
Distribution (include a map of where faults are located) remember figures must stand alone)
3rd slide faults in city planning. (Stadiums, airports, major roads etc) how it affects it
Think: Hobby airport has a fault, roads have faults, city center, why are sewers where faults are, why do Houston Texas have faults but no earthquakes
POWER POINT SLIDE DUE APRIL 27TH THRUSDAY AS SOON AS YOU WALKING INTO CLASS.. Slides must be between 10 and 20 slides. *no less than 10 and nor more then 20

Abstract
An abstract is nothing more than a summary of the main ideas. In this course, the abstract is a summary of the basic building blocks used in the research proposal. It will be slightly different than an abstract for a paper or essay.
In a paper or essay, the abstract summarizes the main points of the document. In a research proposal, the abstract summarizes the main research components (to be used) as demonstrated with the topic.
In either case, an abstract is simple. It is just a summary of the main ideas, points, or methodologies. The difference is what the author is summarizing. In other words, the reader should be able to read the brief abstract and understand what the researcher is proposing..... In 2 or 3 paragraphs, you should be able to answer the following questions in narrative form: What is the topic? What are the variables? What is the hypothesis? What is the design? What is the population/sample? What is the Data Collection Method(s)?

Review Instructions for Essay 4--The Research Paper
The instructions and guides for the research paper are linked below.
In this class you have a rare opportunity to develop, revise/edit, and resubmit your work. Your revised exploratory paper (Essay 2) will become the introduction to your research paper. The revised position paper (Essay 3) will become the body. In addition, you will create a conclusion or "solutions" section for the final project. Note, however, that significant revisions are expected, so you should carefully review the edited draft and rubric evaluations for both essays 2/3 before you begin your final essay.
The final research papers must meet ALL of the minimum criteria for the assignment (in terms of structure, development, documentation style, quality and number of research sources, and writing skills) to be eligible for a score. In other words, you must receive a mark of "competent" in all of these areas to receive a grade for this assignment.
English 103: Essay 4—Research Paper
In the Research Paper, you will further develop, revise, and build upon the single perspective argument you have been developing all semester. Your final assignment should demonstrate your ability to apply the principles of argument discussed in the class throughout the semester and it should demonstrate your ability to use critical thinking when discussing a controversial issue.
Directions:
Prepare an 8-10 page research essay that builds upon the single perspective argument paper. The purpose of this assignment is to build upon what you have already created in the course. Therefore, the introduction of your research paper should be drawn from your Exploratory Paper, laying the foundation for the reader by presenting all sides of the issue, the exigence, etc. The body should be drawn from the Position Paper, which incorporates research to support your claim and sub-claims. Obviously, you cannot include the entire portion of each of the previous papers, and your final research paper should show that you’ve developed areas requiring development and made significant revisions to those sections of your papers requiring revision. The idea is to pull sections and points from previous essays. Use comments from me to revise those papers as you incorporate portions of them into this final project.
In addition to revising/developing the exploratory and position papers to serve as the introduction and body of the research paper, you will write an extended conclusion in which you focus on a viable solution and/or conclusion to the issue. For the conclusion, provide a means of solving the problem indicated by your topic. Consider the audience, establish common ground, and provide details for how to implement the solution. For example, if the position paper argued that bilingual education is necessary in California schools, the solution would discuss how to implement bilingual education programs in our California schools. You.

2. JOURNAL
How did you decide on the topic that you’re exploring through your
inquiry paper? What databases did you search? Did you look at the
Works Cited pages of your articles? How did you know that this
issue is important to your field? What does exploring this issue help
you learn about your major (use your subject headings to help you
with this one)?
Write 1-2 paragraphs in response to these questions. You don’t have
to answer all of them, and you don’t have to answer them in order.
3. PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER
1. Open up a new Word document. Save it as “Final Project”
2. Open your preliminary genre analysis, your annotated bibliography,
and your line of inquiry paper. Minimize them.
3. Now get ready to copy and paste stuff from the other documents
into your new document. This will be fun!
4. FROM YOUR GENRE ANALYSIS PAPER
Copy the introduction and paste it into the new document. It should
be something like this:
Genres are a way of communicating within a discourse community. These genres are not static but dynamic.
According to Amy Devitt “Genres develop, then because they respond appropriately to situations that writers
encounter repeatedly. In principle, that is, writers first respond in fitting ways and hence similarly to recurring
situations” (576). These changes cause a need to analyze genres to be able to understand them. In order to
successfully join a discourse community one must understand the genres that this community uses. Devitt,
Bawarshi and Reiff state “Genre study gives us specific access to the sites of language use that make up
communities, in all their complexity” (549). Using this knowledge and access that studying genre brings we
may then be able to enter into a discourse community.
Since, According to various genre theorists, genres reveal useful information regarding the values and goals of
discourse communities, I will be using the genre of a community that I plan to enter as a way of analyzing how
to communicate with that group. I have chosen to study engineering as a discipline, because it is a field I am
interesting in. In order to analyze appropriate methods of communication for that group, I will be analyzing
three articles from the field, looking specifically at the genre setting, participants, features, subjects, patterns.
5. FROM YOUR GENRE ANALYSIS PAPER
Copy the rest of your genre analysis, and paste it below
the introduction of your new document. Essentially, you
should have copied the entire genre analysis onto a new
document. Keep the formatting of the genre analysis
document, if you’d like.
6. AFTER THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF YOUR GENRE
ANALYSIS
1. Add a new heading in bold. Something like “From Genres to Arguments: The
Structure of Roller Coasters”
2. Copy the introduction from your annotated bib and paste it underneath this new
heading. It should look something like this:
After exploring genres common to the field of Mechanical Engineering through a preliminary genre analysis, I
continued to analyze the language and genres of my field by tracing a mechanical concern relevant to engineers.
To do this, I have gathered articles relating to the connection between structural stress analysis and amusement
rides, such as roller coasters. I have found numerous of academic articles pertaining to this topic, and have traced
the consistencies and patterns that are common to these articles. Through my research, I have found sources that
discuss the research of peak stress analysis in structures (Atzoria et al.; Meneghettia et al.;Wang et al.), as well as
documentation of safety protocol (ASTM International; NSPE), which is applied in the industrial world through
amusement parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Alton Towers (Ogando; Professional
Engineering). These sources have assisted me in identifying the various aspects of this issue in relation to the
field of mechanical engineering. In addition, these articles have helped me to continue to explore the genre
conventions that I will need to learn as I begin to enter a new community in my major.
7. THEN…
Copy and paste the paragraph that you wrote in your journal today. This
paragraph should go right underneath the intro to your annotated bib.

I chose to study roller coasters because….
8. NOW, YOUR INQUIRY PAPER
Copy and paste your inquiry paper (the headings) right below the last
paragraph that you wrote. So, the order so far should be:
3) Intro from genre analysis
4) Genre Analysis paper
5) Intro from annotated bib
6) Paragraph from today’s journal
7) Inquiry paper
9. BEFORE TOMORROW…
Finish all sections of your inquiry paper. I
will check for this tomorrow before peer-
review
We will be conducting peer-review in class
tomorrow. Please bring your laptops.
Don’t skip class tomorrow! We are working
on the most important section of your paper
