  • “Building a Successful Academic Project: From Planning to Presentation” Title: The Importance of Scholarly Sources in Academic Research

    This is a Three part project: Please read all instructions for each part.
    PART 1:
    In the Week 1 and Week 2 Lessons, we have read about two steps of the BIG6 model: task definition and information seeking strategies (CO1 & 2). As you consider the Week 7 Final Project, you will complete a project plan to help you focus your energies and generate ideas to help you be successful academically. To complete the Week 3 Assignment: Project Plan, you have to complete Parts I and II. 
    Part I:
    After you understand what is required in Week 7, write one or two sentences per bullet point (there are additional questions and points to help you flesh our your ideas): 
    Topic:
    Choose a topic that is realistic and one that you want to learn more about.
    The topic might be a career field you want to go into or something else that deeply interests you.
    Scope and value:
    What is the scope of the topic and your research?
    What value does it bring to your life? To your professional life? 
    Communication medium:
    How are you going to communicate your project?
    How will you make your presentation different and unique? 
    Critical thinking questions:
    Pose different questions that will help you with your research and investigate your topic in more depth. 
    Post critical questions that will push you to improve. 
    Subtopics (optional).
    Brainstorming (optional). 
    Part II is a reflective paragraph that represents your critical thinking process when thinking about possible sources and your research. You are NOT looking for specific sources now. Consider the best possible sources as presented in the week 2 Lesson. What type of sources will work best for your research? How can you support your project plan with credible, current, reliable, accurate, and relevant information?
    Once you complete Parts I and II, please submit the WORD document.
    PART 2:
    During the Week 3 Assignment, Project Plan, you chose a topic and created your project plan. In the Week 3 Lesson, you read about location and access and in Week 4, you learned about organizing your digital information and storing that information responsibly. Now it is time to take the work you did in the Week 3 Assignment, Project Plan, and locate and evaluate sources  (CO2 & 5) that that will lead to your Week Week 7 Assignment, Final Project. 
    Please follow these instructions: 
    Download the Source Evaluation Worksheet template (in Word).
    Complete Parts I and II in the worksheet. 
    Find a minimum of three (3) sources. One (1) source must be an academic source and from the APUS Trefrey Library and the other sources must be credible and appropriate for college research.
    Please include robust source summaries in your own words that explain the contents of the source and the relevance of the source to your topic.(The sheet is attached below)
    Part 3: Powerpoint
    Goal: Demonstrate the ability to create a final project that uses both research-based and personal content while using presentation software to communicate with an intended audience. 
    Description: 
    During the first six-weeks you formulated a project plan, researched the content of the plan, and collected quality academic and non-academic sources. For the week 7 Final Project you will create a presentation (CO8) that builds upon the Week 3 Project Plan and the Week 5 Location and Access (Source Organization worksheet) that effectively communicates the knowledge you have gained during COMM120.
    Please consider the following:
    Presentation will include an introduction, body, conclusion, and properly formatted reference/work cited slide in the citation style of your degree program (APA, MLA, or Chicago).
    Clear evidence that the topic was researched and expanded upon the week 2 Project Plan (CO2 & 5).
    Presentation provides audience with information to increase their knowledge of the topic presented (CO1).
    Presentation engages the audience by using elements such as images, graphs, and charts. Appropriate citations must be included.
    Three (3) vetted credible sources. One (1) of the sources must be scholarly and from the library.
    Appropriate length 7-9 slides.
    If you have multimedia skills and want to add creative content to your presentation, please do! Try to add any of the following enhancements and as you do, think about how it will impact your presentation and improve communication with the intended audience.

  • “Hegemonic Masculinity in Tsai Ming-Liang’s Film: Analyzing Power, Desire, and Gender Roles”

    1. Define hegemonic masculinity as it relates to this film. 2. Your claim should claim something. What is this new way of thinking? 3. Use an analytical description to demonstrate that he is the agent of power in this sequence. Don’t rely on the reader to look at the time stamp and see what you see. It’s up to you to prove the point. Also, Mike is not so much expressing sexual desire as enacting desire. He’s playing a role on stage. 4. This isn’t really an argument but a simple description. Rather than engage superficially with several peer-reviewed texts, engage substantively with two. 5. What is Tsai’s argument? 6. These are all generalizations without support. 7. What is Waling’s argument? 8. This is all so generic it could describe any film. You need analytical descriptions to demonstrate what you see at work in this film. 9. I’m not sure what you mean here. 10. What are Ettari and Burt’s arguments? 11. What is Messerschmidt’s argument? 12. Use the they say/I say approach that we covered in class. 13. What is Tasker’s argument? 14. Follow the style guide I distributed. It is available in canvas. 15. What is Dyer’s argument? Needs an argument that is supported by analytical descriptions of specific sequences. Needs to substantively engage with two peer-reviewed articles, using the they say/I say technique we covered in class. Often unclear what you are saying.
