Research project on an issue in sport social media. Include the following: What context and issue are you studying? Why is it relevant? What perspectives are most relevant to your topic (i.e., business, communication, societal issues, sport performance)? What is your research question (or hypothesis)? What method(s) will you choose, and how will you conduct your study? How will you analyze your data? What do you hope to learn, and how might it contribute to the industry (i.e., the “real world”)? ISSUE: Media only focusing on the highlights of an athlete and not their mental health.

Imagine that for your research proposal about why students chose Springfield College, someone asks the question “Is this evaluation research?” Your quick response is yes. Your assignment is to defend this position about your proposal being evaluation research. Out of the three topics appropriate for evaluation research, describe which one is the most relevant to your research question, and how it could be turned into/defended as evaluation research (Hints: what is the value of the information you collect from students? What if the data is collected over time? What could we do with it then? Is there a value in that? Who wants to know what information you collect? What could be done with the data? To whom is that data potentially important? Is there a problem that the data can potentially help address? As always 1-2 pg max, double spaced. There is no research paper on Springfield College. This is just a hypothetical paper.

No sources needed, may consult sites to gather information but put into your own words. The building structure name is: Dome of the Rock it is located in Jerusalem, Israel. Attached is the an image of the building, which is what this paper will be about. The following is an outline of the paper: PART 1: Write a one-page biography of both artists that built the structure. The biography should stress more than just dates and facts: focus on what’s interesting about their career, why the artist is important, their originality, what they’re famous for, etc.  PART 2: Visual Analysis   Analyze the visual forms emphasized in your work, including the use of line and contour, texture, color, scale and other visual design elements, as suggested by your answers to the following questions.  1)  What is visually most distinctive/special about the work? Which elements are most emphasized: lines/outlines; space/depth; light and shadow; textures; color? 2)  Is line important? outlines? inner lines? detail? What kinds of lines? 3)  What colors are emphasized? What is the effect of the colors chosen? How are colors combined — to harmonize or to create strong contrasts? Do the kinds of colors used draw your attention to a certain focus in the picture? (If the work is black and white, where are the darkest darks [values] used and where are the lighter shades [values]?) 4)   What is the approximate size (scale) of the piece? Is the work monumental, or is it small-scaled & intimate? How would it be different if it were smaller, or larger? Why do you think the artist choose that size for this work? What is the effect of the scale chosen? 5)  Is texture important – either represented texture (in painting) or actual surface textures (in painting or sculpture)? If yes, how are textures shown? Why are they important? What do they add to the image? For sculpture, are actual textures emphasized? Analyze surfaces. 6)  What kind of space is used/shown? Shallow space, medium space, or deep space? Why do you think the artist chose this kind of space? 7)  How are lighting and shadows used? Are shadows prominent, dominant? Or is lighting emphasized more than shadow? Or are both subdued, and why? 8)  Is there a focal point in the work? If so, how does the artist lead your eye to that point of emphasis? If there’s no one focus, there multiple points of focus? Why would there not be a single focal point?                         9)  Is there a story? If so, what is it? How is the story told visually?  10)  What is the emotional expression of the work? How does it feel? Its mood? The emotions of individual figures? What does the work “mean” to you? PART 3: Your Response Why did you choose this work? What about it appealed to you? Do you like it better now that you’ve learned about the artist/time period and you’ve systematically analyzed the work? How did your research and analysis inform your view of the work?

What are your thoughts about poetry as an art form? Do you think it has value ? Do you enjoy it ? Why or why not ?

Instructions What do you think of the belief that Islam is meant to be a universal religion and that it corrects the mistakes of Judaism and Christianity? Background information: The Quran purports to be the final and most perfect revelation from God. As such, the religion that it expounds, Islam, is meant to be a universal religion, correcting the mistakes and misunderstandings of Judaism and Christianity. Traditionally, the understanding is that while the original teachings of Judaism and Christianity were correct, their adherents misunderstood Allah’s messengers and practiced the intended religion (Islam) incorrectly. So, the messages in the Quran were sent to get everyone back on the correct path. I’m not saying anyone is right or wrong, but Muslim tradition states that the Quran is the perfect and final revelation from Allah (God). It is the continuation and correction of revelations that are recorded in The Hebrew Bible and in the New Testament.

FINAL PAPER CONTENT INSTRUCTIONS This assignment is based on Sidney Lumet’s film, Network (1976). Students are responsible for locating and watching the film. It is in print on DVD and is widely available on video streaming platforms. You are to construct your essay based on the following questions and discussion points: Briefly describe and summarize (in your own words) Mr. Jensen’s famous “forces of nature” speech to Howard Beale? Give an example of how the worldwide corporate and financial domination that Mr. Jensen spoke of continues today. Name a specific company or corporation that owns and controls several media outlets. How much control does that particular company have over its media content? Briefly summarize Howard Beale’s “turn off your television set…turn them off…” sermon / speech during his first revised newscast. Did audiences perceive this film as pure satire or fantasy in 1976?  How has this film become less of a satire and more of a “prophesy” about the current state of reality television?  (NOTE:  This question will require you to locate original 1976 newspaper and magazine film reviews as well as other relative material to support your answer).

Between 1945 and the early 1960s, the color line in virtually every sport in the United States was broken. African Americans, in increasingly large numbers, were able to participate in leagues and on teams that had previously been blocked off to them. At the same time, however, most of the leagues and teams African American sports administrators had organized in response to being excluding from white-run sport had to be discontinued. In a well-organized essay, discuss the benefits and drawbacks from such a development. Which leagues and athletes benefited the most? What, in particular, was lost? Were there any ramifications of such a loss? In what ways do we see the color line continuing in the decades after the early 1960s?
