The major project in this course is the Research Paper; it is a topic-of-choice paper. For some, this may the first time you are tasked with developing a research paper. For others, this is a familiar assignment. Do not worry or get overwhelmed. We are going to work on various elements of the paper in each module week; some of these elements are graded assignments, and some of them are optional. Read the information within each section before you move to the next page. This page is best viewed in a computer browser. nstructions Topic - Choose an aviation related topic that interests you most; do not move forward until you receive instructor approval for your topic. Examine your topic from any perspective or lens that interests you: historical, scientific, technological, engineering, or mathematical. Sources - Check the Class Research Topics page to ensure you do not choose the same topic as another student. The Class Research Topics page is updated as each student attains topic approval. Support for your research topic and the perspective or lens (historical, scientific, technological, engineering, or mathematical) through credible sources. You must include at least two primary and two secondary sources. Try to find sources that truly interest you. Sources must contain credible information, data, facts, etc. on your subject. You may use encyclopedias to aide in the discovery of your topic; however, encyclopedias will not be considered as an approved source of information in the development of your paper. When conducting research, keep in mind that primary sources are first-person accounts and secondary sources are written by people who did not witness/participate in the event. An excellent place to begin research is through the Hunt Library databases and research guides. (Links to an external site.) Research Question, Thesis Statement, and Paper - Develop your topic into one clear concise research question and create a thesis statement. Compile your (one) question, thesis statement, and research into a written four to six-page (APA style) written paper. You can write from any perspective or lens that interests you: historical, scientific, technological, engineering, or mathematical. This research paper must include the following elements: 1. Title-page (not part of the page requirement) 2. Body (four to six pages) o Introduction - Tells the reader what you are going to write about and includes your thesis statement. Be sure to make it interesting so the reader will want to continue and read the rest of your work. o Body of the Paper - Goes through each point you want to illustrate by providing your ideas and your research about the topic. Be sure you write an opening sentence for each paragraph that will draw your reader into your idea or point. o Conclusion/Summary - Reminds the reader what you wrote about in your work. It is similar to the introduction but with a concluding statement. 3. Reference-page (not part of the page requirement) Optional: Outline and Draft submission (see Checkpoints/Important Deliverables section for details) Review the Research Paper Rubric and use the rubric as a guide when developing your paper. Contact your instructor well in advance of this assignment deadline if you need assistance or experience any challenges.
