RESEARCH PROJECT
This semester, you will research a topic related to your field of study or current career. Choose
either an innovation or a problem to be solved in your current, past, or future workplace. Then,
begin to study the topic, doing both primary and secondary research. You will submit a business
proposal requesting to research this topic to your instructor at the start of the semester.
Required Elements of the Report
Your report should be modeled after the sample provided in your text and the sample provided at
our Blackboard site. The report must contain: a title page, a table of contents, an executive
summary, five to seven single spaced pages of text (not including title page, table of contents,
summary, and graphics), two graphics you construct, and a references page.
Your report must include a total of at least six sources cited on the references page and two
graphics you construct. There must be both primary and secondary sources listed. You must also
include parenthetical (in-text) references within your pages of text as appropriate.
For all sources, you should use APA format. See
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ for help if needed.
Format
Within the text of your report, be sure to include ample “reader relief” through the use of white
space, internal headings, and visual aids. Direct the reader’s attention by sparingly using
mechanical means of emphasis (bolding, italics, font changes).
GradingYour research paper will be graded on the quality of the elements noted above. In addition, your
paper will be graded on quality of organization, mechanical accuracy, and correct formatting.
The final paper must be submitted to Blackboard and will go through www.turnitin.com.
Therefore, the paper MUST be submitted to the correct Assignment Submission section on
Blackboard.
