Description
Research Papers:
Individual student research papers are worth two hundred points. Students research papers must be eight to ten pages in length, have one-inch margins, be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font, be double-spaced, and be well written and edited in accordance to university standards for an upper-division course. Research papers and bibliographies should be in M.L.A. style and citation method (http://www.csulb.libguides.com/content.phppid=128419&sid=1102891).
Students shall research an enduring issue as it pertains to mass media and popular culture in American society. Students will be required to draw upon the reading materials, class lectures, and media literacy course material in formulating, interrogating, and applying concepts and theories towards their case studies. Students case studies should reflect an enduring and unresolved issue found within American mass media and popular cultural media texts. In other words, show me what you know. Furthermore, students case studies should include either the medium of film, cable, television, or the Internet and shall encompass a particular movie, an episode of a television or cable show, series of choice, or special broadcast. In addition, basic writing rubrics of mechanics, grammar, and syntax will be part of the grading process.
Research Integrity and For Future Consideration
Good research ethics requires researchers to be self-critical and intellectually honest. After your conclusionary paragraph, include at least one paragraph titled For Future Consideration. Therein, articulate any flaws with your research methods, analysis, reasoning, etc and indicate how your research paper could be improved upon. This should be a cogent, detailed, self-reflective paragraph, and NOT a personal admission of haste in the research and writing process.
NOTE:
I haven’t came up with a specific topic so please help me do so, and also the citations must come from the resources that are included in our school’s library system.
Your site is trustworthy and professional and I hope my information won’t be leaked to the others.
One last thing is about my writing style, I’m not particularly good at writing and the attached files are the essays I wrote for this class, hopefully it will give you a better picture on how I write and construct papers.
Please let me know as soon as you have any questions and I’ll reply immediately.
