Each student will prepare a research paper on a relevant topic in Satellite Communications.
Research papers must demonstrate graduate-level work, including writing ability. The test of a good paper is, “Are its conclusions compelling as judged by their significance and supporting arguments?”
Basic indicators of competency include:
Understanding the full range of basic concepts covered in the course and how they apply to specific situations responding to the essential points of all course assignments presenting clear,reasoned, and well-organized responses using correct grammar, spelling, and so on for all written assignments, and especially for out-of-class writing as relevant, making professional-quality oral presentations, using graphics effectively, and making substantial use of databases, or other
presentation materials meeting deadlines for assignments following the style set forth in the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Only students who fully meet this standard and demonstrate exceptional comprehension and application of the course subject matter merit an “A.” Students who earn an “A” clearly have mastered and are fluent in the subject matter.
Indicators of exceptional performance include:
Analysis that follows a cogent line of reasoning
Analysis that evaluates alternative solutions or reasoning
Consistently apply application of concepts and reasoning to data and situations;
Analysis that recognizes connections across a range of concepts that draws appropriate implications and conclusions, and exhibits novelty and creativity of ideas or represents conceptual advances on what is taught.
Type of Paper:
The paper should examine a topical area relating to the some area of Satellite
Communications. Purely technical papers are unacceptable and will be downgraded
accordingly.
The paper should address technical, economic, regulatory, policy and
operational use of the Internet/Telecommunication topic that you are researching.
