Requirements for Secondary Research Project Learning Objectives and Project Overview In this project, you'll do secondary research to "find out what the experts say" about a workplace problem or challenge. Then you'll apply the Spence Method as you synthesize information from various sources to write compelling and richly detailed article for your readers. The subject matter will be one of the issues that you wrote about in your Client Interview Article. The audience will be either the client you interviewed or people in the same job role as the interviewee. This project includes these assignments: • Project Proposal Pitch (Due Week 3) • Synthesis Matrix (Due Week 4) • Research Report – preliminary draft (Due Week 4) and final draft) (Due Week 5) Requirements for Project Proposal Pitch Write a 300-word pitch to the instructor discussing the specific topic you will write about and the specific reader (client or job role) that you will address. Explain why this topic is important and relevant to this audience at this time. To provide the instructor with insight into the timeliness of this issue, include a 100-word summary of an article that was published about this topic within the past 3 years. Topic for Your Research Report Choose a timely and specific problem or challenge facing people in the same job role as the interviewee for your Client Interview. The topic must be specific and actionable, not a broad subject such as "leadership" or "fundraising" but a specific problem or challenge faced by people in that job role. The paper must explain the problem or challenge and must offer specific solutions that are actionable by the reader. The paper must not merely explore the topic or present solutions that are outside the scope of the person's job role ("the government should...," "society will has to change...," "universities need to offer...," or "technology needs to be developed..."). The best reports will present information from current articles, webinars, and conference presentations intended for people in this job role or industry. Audience for Your Researched Report Your document must address people in a specific job role, such as "biomedical engineer" or "technical writer," not "the general public," not "government officials," not "professors and students"). Purpose of Your Researched Report The reader is looking for information and advice about this topic. Your position statement will be something like "people in ________ (specific job role) can address the problem of ________ by ________ (doing what?)." Word Count Suggestion for Researched Report 1,000 to 1,200 words Structure and Content for Your Researched Report Include these elements (as described in the Spence book): * Opening Statement: Introduce the subject and conveys its importance to people in this field, its timeliness now, and your Position * Methodology: Briefly describe your me.
