Examine the Research Proposal Memo (WA#1) instructions.
What permission must you request? To whom should your
memo be addressed? What information about your research
must you provide?
Write at least five complete
sentences.
In the Research Proposal Memo (WA#1), you must request
permission to research and write a report about a specific
topic. The memo should address the decision-maker(s) with
the authority or influence to permit you to undertake this
research. You must provide information about the problem or
issue you intend to investigate and explain why it is essential
to conduct this research. Additionally, it would help if you
briefly outlined the secondary research you plan to conduct,
specifying that you will utilize both trade (professional)
sources and scholarly sources to gather information. Finally, it
would be best to highlight the benefits of your research and
the recommendations your report will likely offer, emphasizing
how these findings will be valuable to your workplace or
community.
2. Examine the Synthesis Lit Review (WA#2) instructions. This
assignment calls for the student writer to use scholarly
(academic) and professional (trade) sources. Explain what you
understand a scholarly source and a professional/trade source
to be. You should consider offering an example of each type of
source. Write at least five complete sentences.
A scholarly source is authored by experts within a specific
academic field to provide well-informed information related to
research, theories, and other related topics. In contrast, a
professional trade source is written by professionals or
practitioners within a particular discipline but does not strictly
adhere to research standards. Here are examples of both
types of sources:
Professional Trade Source - These sources encompass reports
on original research or experimental studies, the introduction
of new theories, interpretations, or critiques of existing
concepts. These comprehensive reviews synthesize multiple
works or a specific study area, often with implications for
future research and assessments, critiques, or commentaries
on other scholarly resources.
Scholarly Source - These sources typically include journals,
books, and conference presentations authored by academics.
3. Take a look at the Research Report (WA#3) instructions.
What additional research demands are placed upon the writer
for this assignment compared to WA #2? How can you as
writer best present your report so that it is most readily
accessible for your primary audience? Write at least five
complete sentences.
