Produce an individual 500 word first draft proposal for an academic paper on a topic of your own choice which might reasonably be used to lead into an Individual Research Project. The proposal should:
- Introduce the focus of the study – i.e. the topic area.
- Justify the selection of study area and explain why anyone should be interested
- Identify initial questions/hypothesis to be tested.
- Explore the issues, both positive and negative, of your chosen area
You will receive detailed formative feedback on this part of your work
Examine the first drafts of other students papers and see if you can find any common interests, contact the author(s), set up meetings and discuss the possibility of forming a team of 2 or 3 researchers who can work together looking at the area of interest and ultimately produce a joint paper.
