Framing an Inquiry (Proposal or Prospectus) - 5 pointsThe Basic Assignment

A prospectus is an academic genre that exists to identify the state of current research on an issue and identify a direction (including, usually, a method) for new research. That's why graduate students have to write a prospectus as a first step in a dissertation-to show that there's a reason for doing the research in the first place.

Your prospectus will be more personal than a Ph.D. candidate's, but it will have a similar purpose. For the first part of the assignment, you will develop a researchable question and write a 3-5 page proposal or prospectus that does the following:

Clearly communicates your focused question or area of curiosity.

Identifies relevant academic and/or non-academic frames for the inquiry.

What larger conversations does your inquiry fit into?

Discusses previous research and/or conversation around the inquiry.

This might mean identifying which academic disciplines study the issue you're interested in.

This might mean identifying non-academic communities where this issue is discussed.

This should mean identifying what academic or non-academic communities are saying or thinking about your question.

Clarifies why and to whom the inquiry might matter.

Gives a sense of the direction you plan to pursue as you research your question further.

Your work for Part I will be spent going back and forth between generative writing (freewriting, etc.), research, and drafting (writing the actual prospectus. You'll need to freewrite and think to find a question that matters to you-and then you'll need to research to think about conversations exist around this question already. Depending on what you find, you might want to reframe your question. If you want to check with me about your question, I'm happy to do that quickly by email. If you're having trouble with the research part, I recommend getting help from the library!

My advice to you here and throughout this project: KEEP TRACK OF YOUR RESEARCH. If you find a source you *might* use, at the very least, save the link to it in a Google doc. This will help you later.

Specifications

Your proposal/prospectus needs to be 3-5 double-spaced pages.

It needs to be in MLA paper format.

It needs to use at least informal citation to avoid plagiarism and identify sources, though if you're able to do MLA citation, that would be ideal. (We will learn MLA citation a little later.)

Your proposal/prospectus needs to have section headings. You can decide what they are.

YOU CAN USE "I." I encourage you to use your personal curiosity or experience as part of your frame.

YOU CAN USE IMAGES, VIDEO, MUSIC, YOUR GRANDMA, as an information source, as long as it's relevant to your question and the way you're choosing to frame it. You can use anything that helps you accomplish the assigned purpose.

Grading Rubric

5 points: Meets the basic assignment goals described in "Basic Assignment" and the specifications.

4 points: Meets most of the basic assignment goals described in "Basic Assignment" and most of the specifications.Meets the basic assignment goals described in "Basic Assignment" and the specifications.

3 points: Meets the most important assignment goals described in "Basic Assignment" and most of the specifications.

2 point: Missing some important assignment goals (for example, the inquiry is vague) and missing some important specifications (for example, short of full-length).

1 point: At this point I am looking for a reason to give you a little bit of credit for something, but the assignment is mostly not complete.

0 points: I suspect generative AI or some other form of academic dishonesty. You would also get zero points if the assignment is not turned in.

My idea for this is : Promoting Employee Health and Well-being While Working from Home
