Select a topic for your Term Paper and write a general proposal outlining the subject you wish to research and the details of what you plan to do. Select a topic about some aspect of computer technology or computer related professions that you are interested in. I was thinking a profession as network and computer administrator.

Final deliverable: Your deliverable should be an 8-9 (max) page double spaced (use normal headers, footers and margins=1″, Font=Times or Ariel, Size=12) Word document in APA Style (plus references) which addresses the topic you selected. Please do not use “.pages” docs since they do not open in Canvas. NOTE: Paper should be 8-9 pages long PLUS the Cover Page and References or List of Works Cited (no attached abstract required). So overall the paper might end up being 10-11 pages long. Remember that images, diagrams, charts etc., do not count as text. If you include them in your papers, which is totally appropriate when they serve a purpose in your explanations, your paper may need to be correspondingly longer.

You will also create a one page summary, abstract, or short PowerPoint discussing the highlights or main points of your paper that will be posted in the “Discussions” section of the course Canvas site for your classmates to view. The term paper is worth 100 points and 25% of your final grade. The main paper will be worth 90 points and the summary will be worth 10 points. Use images, diagrams, charts, screen captures, etc. when (if) appropriate. Be creative and have some fun with this!

The latest the 27th. will it be too much to ask for a proposal first?Select a topic for your Term Paper and write a general proposal (2-3 pages max) outlining the subject you wish to research and the details of what you plan to do. Select a topic about some aspect of computer technology or computer related professions that you are interested in. Choose any topic you’re interested in from the vast number of topics we have covered in the textbook or from the additional materials we have looked at. The proposal should consist of both a narrative (descriptive paragraphs) and outline sections. I plan to review each one and give you a go-ahead on it. So the earlier the better. I reserve the right to reject a topic if too many people choose it or if there are other issues. Submit your proposal through the “Term Paper Proposal” link above. I look forward to seeing your topics. THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT A GRADED ASSIGNMENT BUT IS REQUIRED!
