<
Each of the below sections should be in paragraph form. The bullet points describe what needs
<
to be covered each section. Please note the final product will be an essay. The Roman Numerals
<
describe the section headings and the bullets explain the content that should be included in
<
paragraph form under the section headings.
<
I. Introduction
<
? Background on issue
<
? Definition of terms
<
? Significance of issue (i.e., broader impact)
<
II. Synthesis
<
? Look at your problem and then think of different sides of the debate. You
<
want to describe the different currents of thought.
<
? The Synthesis can also describe chronological unfolding of the problem or
<
issue through sources.
<
? This should be a development of the synthesis section that you included in
<
your Literature Review
<
III. Methodology:
<
? What kinds of information will you need for investigating your question? How will
<
you get that information? These include: data, statistics, interviews with classmates
<
and experts, archives, secondary reading, historical analysis, different newspaper
<
reports, etc.
<
? Include any survey that you may use. The most compelling Proposals usually use a
<
variety of methods.
<
IV. Annotated Bibliography:
<
? Summaries of 4 sources (could be those that you used in the Literature Review or
<
four new sources) and how you intend to use the sources in your writing.
<
After you have written these sections in the proposal, please write a few well-developed
<
paragraphs on the following section:
<
Ethical Process and Research Implications
<
? After demonstrating that there is a problem in the current research or discussion in
<
the proposal, your Capstone paper will argue for a particular resolution or solution.
<
Do you at this point have a hypothesis of what you will find?
<
? How will you make sure that your research process is fair and unbiased regardless of
<
whether or not you already have a hypothesis?
<
? Finally, explain what you expect the completed research to add to our
<
understanding of some broader set of analytical or ethical issues in the field. In other
<
words how does your research question converse with a larger set of ethical
<
theories in your discipline?
<
Length: 2-4 pages (between 500-1000 words)
<
Research Requirements: You will synthesize at least 4 peer-reviewed scholarly sources (could
<
be those that you used in the Literature Review or four new sources).
