in this project, you will search for information that will enable you to identify three top trends in your profession or field. Over the course of the project, you will exercise information literacy skills as you locate and evaluate information, and develop well-reasoned conclusions. Reviewing the many sources available to you, you will choose those that are relevant, timely, and helpful to your quest to understand the issues of your industry. Once you have identified the top trends, you will choose one that is particularly interesting to you or one that you think is the most problematic, and research more deeply to produce an analytical research paper for your team. Your project is intended to prepare the search committee on the issue so that it is well-prepared to interview candidates. This project will prepare you for more complex research projects, as you will refine and hone your ability to create a statement of the problem and find the information you need to produce a well-reasoned, well-supported analysis.
There are four steps that will lead you through this project. Begin by watching the video above, which introduces the project as it might occur in the workplace, and then continue with Step 1: Search Techniques.
When you submit your project, your work will be evaluated using the competencies listed below. You can use the list below to self-check your work before submission.
• 1.1: Organize document or presentation clearly in a manner that promotes understanding and meets the requirements of the assignment.
• 1.2: Develop coherent paragraphs or points so that each is internally unified and so that each functions as part of the whole document or presentation.
• 1.3: Provide sufficient, correctly cited support that substantiates the writer’s ideas.
• 1.4: Tailor communications to the audience.
• 1.5: Use sentence structure appropriate to the task, message and audience.
• 2.1: Identify and clearly explain the issue, question, or problem under critical consideration.
• 2.2: Locate and access sufficient information to investigate the issue or problem.
• 2.3: Evaluate the information in a logical and organized manner to determine its value and relevance to the problem.
• 2.4: Consider and analyze information in context to the issue or problem.

Step 1: Conduct Research to Identify Top Trends
In this step, you will refine your ability to conduct research for information in academic, public, and web domains. This project will require two different kinds of searches. First, you will perform a brief industry analysis to become more knowledgeable about your industry and how it is classified in national databases. From this initial research, you will learn the codes associated with your industry and you will learn where to find and use business research resources. This should enable you to find more specific search terms to help you find the resources that will help you identify the top trends in your industry. Once you have identified the top trends, you will choose an issue in one of the three top trends and conduct more research to provide an analysis of the issue, its effect on the industry, and how an organization would address this issue – whether to mitigate or to promote – to its own advantage.
Once you have reviewed NAICS and SOC codes and UMUC library resources for conducting research and business research, you will do some in-depth searching for industry trends. A trend could be something that you, as an industry insider is aware of, an emerging trend, or it could be a trend that you think is unrecognized or disputed. You will use your resources to provide evidence for the trends you choose, and your initial choices may change as you continue to read more deeply. Scan resources that you found in periodicals, journals, newspapers, industry blogs, and websites to choose the best references to help you devise the top trends. Use industry-specific keywords and industry codes, and take notes on resources as you read because you will be building on this research in the next step when you choose an issue within one of the trends. Record notes from the resources and record the complete citation in APA format in your draft References page now in accordance with the APA Style Guide Sixth Edition. Be diligent in your choices about the resources you choose.
Searching effectively for relevant and timely sources and recording citation details may take up to 3 hours. After you have identified the top three trends in your industry, you will choose an issue in one of them that is particularly important.

Step 2: Choose an Issue to Research Further
In the last step, you used research to identify three top trends in your industry. That was the first part of the project. Now it is time to focus on an issue within one of those trends that you think is noteworthy in your field. This project requires that you review the trends and develop a plan to research the issue further, and synthesize the information you find into a coherent, well-supported analysis. But first, you have to develop a focused research question or statement of the problem. Consider this step similar to the starting point for solving any problem with the scientific method. You first have to identify the problem. Then, when you have researched a bit more, you will form a reasonable assumption (a hypothesis) of what you think might be a potential resolution/answer. You will look for more information that reflects different sides or viewpoints of the issue, and use analytical thinking to arrive at a well-reasoned conclusion. This conclusion may or may not bear out your original first estimate; however, your quest is to arrive at an answer that is well-supported and based on facts. Remember, your objective is to consider the impact of this issue on your industry, so this may be the first step toward a practical solution for your organization.
So, choose an issue from your research on a trend in your industry that has potential for great impact on the field, and then draft a preliminary question or statement of the problem. Your research should reveal if the question has already been answered, or if there is enough information on the topic. Refine your question or statement and submit it to the “so what” test. Will your answer contribute to knowledge about the issue you have selected? Is the question answerable? Remember that in academic work you would normally avoid normative or open-ended questions, which start with the words shouldor would, or any question that can be answered with a yes or a no.
Once you have chosen your issue and completed enough research to provide a well-reasoned answer (or solution), you will be ready to write your issue paper. In the next step, you will draft your research paper.

Step 3: Writing Your Research Paper
In the previous two steps, you performed searches, first to identify industry trends, and then for information about an issue in one of those trends that you consider to be important to your industry. Now you should be ready to draft your paper. This would be a good time to review organization in writing and paragraphs. You might also review the Effective Writing Center’s Online Guide to Writing, a valuable reference to students who seek to improve their writing.
Review your task. You are to provide a research paper that provides a summary of the three top trends in your industry (with associated NAICS codes). Supply sufficient background for your reader that the trend is clear and supported by resources you have found. Review resources in References and Citations to ensure that you are using “in text” citations to give credit for the ideas of other authors and to build your credibility as a researcher, neither ignoring sources nor quoting excessively.
You will develop a paper that accomplishes two objectives:
• It will identify the three top trends in your industry and your rationale, based on the resources you have found, for your choices;
• It will discuss the issue within one of the trends that you deem important, based on the current state of the industry, and will be supported by your analysis of facts and a well-reasoned conclusion of what it means to the industry.

Start with an outline and flesh out the main themes with supporting statements. This will become your roadmap to an organized paper. Draft, sleep on it, and edit. Repeat.
Your paper will be 5-7 pages, not including your cover page and References page(s), double-spaced and set up in APA standards. It does not require an abstract.
Your citations, both “in text” and in References will be in accordance with the APA Style Manual Sixth Edition .
Your headings will follow this general pattern:
• Paper Title (First level position, not bold)
• Findings (First level heading, centered, bold)
Top Trends of the _____ Industry (Second level heading, bold, flush left)
An important emerging issue in a trend (and what it means in context to the industry) (Second level heading, bold, flush left)
• Conclusions (First level heading, centered, bold)
• References (New page, first level position, not bold)
MILESTONE: Many students are asked to re-submit their papers based on incomplete or inaccurate citation formats. This milestone will get you off to a good start with APA citations. By the end of Week 2, please submit a draft of your References page. Please use the APA style guide or References and Citations to draft your complete citations. This is an opportunity for you to get feedback before your project is graded. When you submit your draft References page for review, your faculty member will provide feedback on your citation format so that you can correct for your project submission at the end of Week 3.

Grading Rubric
-Introduction 8/20
-There is current and contemporary literature and/or practice related evidence included to support the REA.
-There is some justification of the benefits of an REA and why a response to the focused REA question is needed for practice yet also what appears to be results as well as some contradictory information is included as well as what appears to be results (see c comments p. 7 -9)

-Methods 8/20
-Mostly appropriate methodology for a REA based on the content of the module induction, although some of the description is grammatically awkward or unclear, which calls into question whether the methodology was implemented correctly.
-There is no inclusion or exclusion criteria stated.
-Some justification and presentation of evidence for decisions made in relation to the aims,objectives, resource and scope of the REA set out in chapter 1

-Results 5/20
– A somewhat logical presentation of results and evidence of the findings is present. Vague in places and detailed in others. Some details are not tied clearly to supporting an answer to the research question.

-It is not clear how common themes or topics in response to the REA question have been determined and how the results have been organized in relation to themes.

-The quality appraisal of the evidence is not included and in many places there are only general statements and claims about the evidence.

-Discussion 5/20
-Critical discussion and analysis of evidence in relation to the REA question and results is not evident.
-Critical discussion of the findings in relation to the current practice situation is missing.
-Introduces new data that doesn’t appear in the results section specifically.
-This section content is more results than anything else.

-Conclusion 4/10
-Acknowledgement the limitations of the REA process and findings presented
-Recommendations for practice, research or similar
-Summary and response to the REA question and aim

-Abstract, glossary, referencing, appropriate use of appendices, contents, structure 5/10

-Abstract included. Needs some grammatical and methodological clarifications. States a conclusion about women and more generally yet title is adults.

-There are many places that are lacking a logical flow.

References present with only minor formatting errors.

-General areas for commendation
The focus of the REA has relevance for practice especially as it relates to educating patients and answering their questions about exercise as an intervention for pre- and actual hypertension.
-General areas for improvement
There is an overall need to clarify the organization and flow of content.

There is an over use of superfluous words and phrases that often are not accurately used in relation to the content.

-Results need more detail in places and clear critique. Results need to be presented that will lead to answering your question. The discussion needs more focus on the critical analysis and synthesis of the results and what this then means for practice. This then leads into a conclusion and recommendations based on the overall quality of results.

Kind regards,

Analyze the works of literature in no less than four pages. (This means you will write about “Gorse Is not People,” “The Land of Sad Oranges,” and/or “The Youngest Doll.”) Write about two of the stories; not one, not three.
What to do
Select one or two of the possible topics and investigate.
• Use of narrative voice
• Theme (insanity, freedom, stuck in the past, etc)
• Symbolism (orange, prawn, doll, a ring, gorse, puppets, etc)
• Or, choose your own topic to explore. Just make sure it’s focused and doable for a four+ page paper.
Incorporate at least one outside source. You are free to use the non-fiction pieces we have looked at already, or you can head to the library databases (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and locate a more relevant source.
Come up with an argument. Provide evidence for your point, from the texts and from your outside source(s). Utilize source materials responsibly by citing in MLA format. Include a works cited page.
Relates to Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Compose an analytic essay with multiple sources, choosing an effective structure and creating significant relationships among sources by discussing how the claims of one or more arguments modify, complicate, or qualify one another.
2. Analyze and assess historical, political, economic, scientific, and social issues in a way that enables them to participate in their community, nation, and world.

Coupled with my Cum Laude honors is relevant experiences that further enhance my qualifications for the Master’s of Computer Science program at Bentley University. It was during the summer of my Junior year when I was working on a team of 5 to develop a customized enterprise software for a client in the furniture industry. Facing an amplitude of challenges of different types and difficulties, from using collaboration tools to developing a system that aligns with client’s business, required strenuous effort, yet did not ultimately discourage me. Instead, I turned these challenges into opportunities for me to learn and grow. Not only was I able to learn from the experts in the industry, but also gain valuable firsthand experience that could be complement to my formal studies.

During the academic years, I was also involved in Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) chapter at Illinois Wesleyan University. While I initially joined as a member in the first year, I was soon elected to be the treasurer then president of the chapter in the next coming years. Growing with the organization allowed me to not only hone my technical skillset through a variety of projects I worked on with other members, but also adopt qualities that can help me bring my goals to fruition, first and foremost of which is to complete a graduate program in Computer Science at a school with high educational standards. With the in-depth knowledge in hands after graduating from graduate school, I can be ready to solve complex technical problems to develop innovative products with 10x better technology that can benefit millions of users around the globe. The prospect of advanced software technology is incredibly exciting to me because this is my field, where I feel fulfilled and really eager to leave my mark in.
