Learning Objectives Narrow the topic. Read and research problems created by technology in society and some ways to modify or prevent these problems. Discuss these in the paper. Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the topic by comparing/contrasting Sources you may use for your paper include: 1. reading the course textbooks, reading documentation materials, 2. contacting "experts" on the topic 3. researching library materials. 4. using the Internet All sources will be documented in the research paper following MLA or APA format (not a combination of both). The content of the research paper is fairly open. See the description above. Additional Considerations Note a few of the common reasons why the research term paper would not meet the minimum standards: Too easy. As stated above, the work must be "sufficiently complex to require the expertise of junior-senior level students." Too little time spent in research and writing. Overlap of another course. If the content of the research paper involves concepts covered in another course(s), then it must be of a different or more complex nature. It includes the understanding that the student will complete all of the work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Park University's honesty regulations as found in the School of Online Learning will be followed. Using only one source for the research.
