This assignment is intended to familiarize you with engaging academic research.
Through researching a particular topic that is recent and examining it from multiple
perspectives you will create a fresh perspective and original findings that you can share
with your peers and our college community.
• Consider context. Make sure that you are clear about your purpose and
assess who your audience is and might be in the future.
• Make sure that your topic is something that you’ll be interested in and
curious about. If you know a great deal about the topic you will be less
likely to explore all of the perspectives that are being explored. You are
also less likely to be biased when approaching the topic if it is unfamiliar
to you.
You will have FOUR options for your paper. Options:
1. Choose a topic relevant to the themes in the stories that we have discussed
in class. The topic must be current. However, try not to choose a topic that
will have very few sources for you to research. SOME possible options
include, but are not limited to:
a. Power
b. Faith
c. Guilt
d. Remorse
e. Gender Roles
f. Surveillance
g. Identity
h. Race
i. Tradition
j. Authority
i. Examples for the above include:
1. An examination of how power
has been viewed throughout
history
2. A discussion about tradition
and how local traditions can
help to define a community
or culture
3. A discussion about authority
and how it can and/or
should/should not apply

when thinking about
universalism versus cultural
relativism
2. Write an in-depth examination of one of the central issues in one of the
stories that we have read. Some possible options include:
a. What are some possible interpretations of the ending of "The
Yellow Wallpaper"?
b. What is the primary focus of "The Lottery"? (tradition,
gender roles, authority, etc.)
c. What is the primary reason for Othello's jealousy?
d. What makes Iago such a successful manipulator?
3. Write about overlapping issues in two or more of the texts that we read this
semester. Possible ideas include, but are not limited to:
a. Write a paper in which you take a Feminist Theory approach
to two or more texts we have read, such as "The Yellow
Wallpaper," Othello, and/or "The Lottery."
b. Write a paper that analyzes the narrator's role in a text. In
such a paper, you might discuss the narrators in "Cask of
Amontillado," "What You Pawn I Will Redeem," and/or
"The Yellow Wallpaper."
4. Choose one of the stories that we have read in class and research how
different literary critics have discussed the story under the veil of their
approach. For example, research how feminist theorists, psycho-analytic
theorists, queer theorists, etc., approach Othell ...
research involves investigating a topic to learn more about it. Typically, one conducts research to answer questions. Often, as one learns more about a topic, initial questions generate additional questions. for more visit http://www.transtutors.com/homework-help/writing/research-paper-writing.aspx

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

How to write
A Research Paper

Writing a Thesis Statement
• A thesis statement is a sentence or sentences that
express the main ideas of your paper and answer
the question or questions posed by your paper. It
offers your readers a quick and easy to follow
summary of what the paper will be discussing and
what you as a writer are setting out to tell them.
The kind of thesis that your paper will have will
depend on the purpose of your writing. This
handout will cover general thesis statement tips,
explain some of the different types of thesis
statements, and provide some links to other
resources about writing thesis statements.
3. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 3
General Thesis Statement Tips
• A thesis statement generally consists of two parts: your topic, and then the
analysis, explanation(s), or assertion(s) that you're making about the topic.
The kind of thesis statement you write will depend on what kind of paper
you're writing.
• In some kinds of writing, such as narratives or descriptions, a thesis
statement is less important, but you may still want to provide some kind of
statement in your first paragraph that helps to guide your reader through your
paper.
• A thesis statement is a very specific statement -- it should cover only what
you want to discuss in your paper, and be supported with specific evidence.
The scope of your paper will be determined by the length of your paper and
any other requirements that might be in place.
• Generally, a thesis statement appears at the end of the first paragraph of an
essay, so that readers will have a clear idea of what to expect as they read.
• You can think of your thesis as a map or a guide both for yourself and your
audience, so it might be helpful to draw a chart or picture of your ideas and
how they're connected to help you get started.
• As you write and revise your paper, it's okay to change your thesis statement
-- sometimes you don't discover what you really want to say about a topic
until you've started (or finished) writing! Just make sure that your "final"
thesis statement accurately shows what will happen in your paper.
4. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 4
Expository (Explanatory) Thesis Statements
In an expository paper, you are explaining something to your
audience. An expository thesis statement will tell your
audience:
• what you are going to explain to them
• the categories you are using to organize your explanation
• the order in which you will be presenting your categories
Example: The lifestyles of barn owls include hunting for
insects and animals, building nests, and raising their young.
A reader who encountered that thesis would expect the paper
to explain how barn owls hunt for insects, build nests, and
raise young.
Questions to ask yourself when writing an expository thesis
statement:
• What am I trying to explain?
• How can I categorize my explanation into different parts?
• In what order should I present the different parts of my
explanation?
5. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 5
Argumentative Thesis Statements
In an argumentative paper, you are making a claim about a topic and
justifying this claim with reasons and evidence. This claim could be an
opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or
an interpretation. However, this claim must be a statement that people
could possibly disagree with, because the goal of your paper is to
convince your audience that your claim is true based on your presentation
of your reasons and evidence. An argumentative thesis statement will tell
your audience:
• your claim or assertion
• the reasons/evidence that support this claim
• the order in which you will be presenting your reasons and evidence
Example: Barn owls' nests should not be eliminated from barns because
barn owls help farmers by eliminating insect and rodent pests.
A reader who encountered this thesis would expect to be presented with
an argument and evidence that farmers should not get rid of barn owls
when they find them nesting in their barns.
Questions to ask yourself when writing an argumentative thesis statement:
• What is my claim or assertion?
• What are the reasons I have to support my claim or assertion?
• In what order should I present my reasons?
6. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 6
What is a thesis statement?
A thesis statement . . .
• Makes an argumentative assertion about a topic; it
states the conclusions that you have reached
about your topic.
• Makes a promise to the reader about the scope,
purpose, and direction of your paper.
• Is focused and specific enough to be "proven"
within the boundaries of your paper.
• Is generally located near the end of the
introduction; sometimes, in a long paper, the thesis
will be expressed in several sentences or in an
entire paragraph.
• Identifies the relationships between the pieces of
evidence.
7. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 7
Introduction
The introduction has a "hook or grabber" to catch the reader's
attention. Some "grabbers" include:
2. Opening with an unusual detail
3. Opening with a strong statement
4. Opening with a Quotation
5. Opening with an Anecdote: An anecdote can provide an amusing
and attention-getting opening if it is short and to the point.
6. Opening with a Statistic or Fact: Sometimes a statistic or fact will
add emphasis or interest to your topic. It may be wise to include the
item's authoritative source.
7. Opening with a Question
8. Opening with an Exaggeration or Outrageous Statement
The introduction should also include a thesis or focus statement.
The three objectives of a thesis statement are:
• It tells the reader the specific topic of your essay.
• It imposes manageable limits on that topic.
• It suggests the organization of your paper.
Through the thesis, you tell the reader that you have thought about
the topic and you know what you believe and how to organize it."

GUIDE TO PREPARING BIBLIOGRAPHY / WORKS CITED
When doing research and writing a report, it is always necessary to name the
source(s) of your information. This list of sources is called a bibliography /
works cited. A bibliography should be listed alphabetically. The second line of
an entry should be indented. Skip a line after each entry.
• FOR A BOOK:
Author’s last name, first name. Title of book. Place of publication: Publisher,
copyright year.
example:
Fogle, Bruce. Training Your Dog. New York: DK Publishing, 2001.
If you only used part of a book:
Fogle, Bruce. Training Your Dog. New York: DK Publishing, 2001, pp. 50-55
• FOR AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLE THAT IS SIGNED:
Article author’s last name, first name. "Title of article." Name of encyclopedia.
Copyright year. Volume number, page(s).
example:
Clark, William W. "Gothic Art." World Book Encyclopedia. 2004.
Volume 8, pp. 277-278.
9. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 9
• FOR AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLE THAT ISN’T SIGNED:
"Title of article." Name of encyclopedia. Copyright year. Volume number,
page(s).
example:
"Golden Retriever." World Book Encyclopedia. 2003. Volume 8, p.255
• FOR A MAGAZINE OR NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Article author’s last name, first name. "Title or headline of article." Name of
magazine or newspaper. Date of magazine or newspaper, page(s).
example:
McGill, Kristy. "A Baltic Scramble." Faces. May, 2003, p. 27
• FOR AN INTERNET ADDRESS:
Author’s last name, first name. "Title of item." [Online] Available
http://address/filename, date of document or download.
example:
DiStefano, Vince. "Guidelines for Better Writing." [Online] Available
http://www.usa.net/~vinced/home/better-writing.html, October 5, 2004.
This example of how to cite an INTERNET source was downloaded from this
online source.
• FOR A CD-ROM:
"Article title." CD-ROM title. CD-ROM. Copyright date.
example:
"Titanic Disaster." Encarta 99 Encyclopedia. CD-ROM. 1999
Your finished bibliography should be alphabetized by the first word of the
entry
10. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 10
Body Paragraphs for the Research Paper
• Your body paragraphs are perhaps the most important part of your paper;
without them your thesis is meaningless and your research question
remains an unanswered question.
• The number of paragraphs you have will entirely depend on the length of
your paper and the complexity of each subtopic. However, after you have
begun to double space your prose, there should be a new paragraph
somewhere on each page; a page without an indent is usually a signal that
a paragraph somewhere is running too long.
• The three most important features of a paragraph (and unfortunately the
most common errors as well) are unity, coherence, and adequate
development.
• Unity is the development of a single controlling idea usually presented in
the topic sentence. Each sentence should somehow develop that idea and
no other. During revision, you'll see whether there isn't a better spot for it
or if it ought to be scrapped.
• Coherence is a quality where the writer makes it explicitly clear what the
connections are between thoughts. In Latin, coherence basically means
"to stick together." Make things stick together for your readers. Your work
has to reveal to the reader exactly what you mean.
11. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 11
• Repeat key words. Using synonyms may be great for
creative writing but in research papers, key words are
markers
• Use pronouns for important nouns. Of course, you can't
always be saying the same words over and over again
so luckily the English language has a device called the
pronoun to refer back to the same word.
• Use demonstratives. "This . . . ," "that," or " . . . these "
are great ways to, again, point back to a previous
sentence.
• Establish some logical order to the sentences in your
paragraph such as cause to effect, or general to
particular.
• Use transitional words. Transitional words like
"therefore," "moreover," "however," aren't just great
links between paragraphs but also signal the type of
relationship one sentence has to another.
12. April 2012 - Gr. 11 & 12, English – Research Paper – Slide 12
Adequate development is what it sounds like: fulfill what you promise in your
topic sentence. If you say you will discuss several unusual items found in
drugstores, then discuss several.
Integrating sources into your body paragraphs is hard work but rewarding if
done well.
• Use your sources as support for your insights, not as the backbone of your
paper. A patchwork of sources stuck in a paper like random letters in a
ransom note does not a research paper make.
• Summarize (condense a text by stating the main ideas in your own words)
and paraphrase (say the same thing in a different way) much more often
than you use direct quotes (same words as the original, in quotation marks).
• Don't use direct quotes as fillers but because the author says something so
aptly or dramatically that a paraphrase would lose that power.
• If do you use a direct quote, the explanation should be twice as long as the
quote. Even summaries and paraphrases don't become your own thoughts
just because they're in your own words. You have to explain them too.
Readers have to know why you include source material where you do.
• If multiple sources say the same thing, summarize what they say and put a
few key names in brackets at the end of the sentence. This can both add
credibility and reduce space!
• Don't summarize plots of primary sources. Assume your audience has read
the work. Only explain as much as you need to establish context for an
example.
