Overview
This is a slide for a presentation about a paper which according to our prof that we dont need to make the paper or presentation due to current special circumstance. here is the instruction for the paper(again a paper is not needed.) ive attached the format of the slide, and ive attached with some of the work through out this quarter as sources for the slide. :
- Your introduction should introduce the reader to the general aspects of your topic. In this, I want you to present that topic you’ve been interested in, noting a research question and the logic/reasoning that you’re interested in this topic. Additionally, you must include a point drawn from either one of the data sites presented in the earlier weeks (maybe something you found using the GSS data in Week 9 or possibly from Pew Research or a similar organization) or from a trustworthy news source that gives some insight into the scale of the problem that you’re interested in. For example, if your paper is about college drinking, you’d want some sort of basic statistic that says what percent of college students drink (or, you could even fine tune it a bit further and do what percent of college students binge drink). This is so your reader/audience can understand and draw a sort of why is this an important topic. Make sure this is cohesive enough that the next section.
- Basic items from earlier weeks to use as the basis here: Project Idea
- Literature
- For this, you will need a total of five academic, peer-reviewed articles (note: you may have already found 3, so you’ll just expand on them as you find two more!). For these five articles, they can address the variables you’re interested in varying amounts. So, you could have two articles about race, only one on gender, and two on age.
- Literature provides a general overview of what we know about a topic so that we can use that information to inform ourselves about what we will expect about the world.
- In this section, you are presenting the general facets of what you've now learned about your topic. You're needing to make sure that you One major way to structure this is for your literature review is to think about the primary sections: what are the key aspects we need to know about this topic in relation to how you're thinking about it: you get to draw attention to the specific information that you have found most useful, which can even mean making the sections focus specifically on the variables.
- Hypotheses
- The last items that I want you to develop in this are a set of three hypotheses built from the literature. So, you’ve already spent some time on your articles and thinking about your topic and variables over the week. You’re going to end the components of this by articulating specific hypotheses from the literature you just assembled that would guide your own research. You don’t need to go into heavy or long explanations on this but the when your reader/audience sees your hypotheses, the annotations they just read should prime them on these. Basically, do these hypotheses connect to the annotations that I just read or do they seem to come out of left field.
- Basic items from earlier weeks to use as the basis here: The Importance of Getting the Hypotheses Right
- Conclusion
- A standard conclusion: restates paper's purpose, key takeaways, and can address what would be nice to do next (maybe include other variables, different contexts, etc.).
- References
- And, finally, a full references list that is correctly formatted. Remember, this will have six entries (your five articles and the background source from your introduction)
