You have now selected an energy policy and constructed an annotated bibliography. It’s now time to take the next step toward completing your Energy Policy Paper. Construct an annotated outline using the following main headings: Introduction Policy Basis Achievement of Intended Outcome Influence on Technology Unintended Consequences Summary Add applicable subheadings in sections II through V. Annotate each main heading and subheading with one or two sentences. Provide an in-text citation for each annotation and finalize your outline with a Title Page and References Page(s). For an example of the type of annotations expected, review the ‘Full Sentence Outline (Links to an external site.)’ [PDF, File Size 66 KB] section at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/media/pdf/20081113013048_544.pdf.

We learn from our readings that the use of mobile devices in our society today has indeed become ubiquitous. In addition, CTIA asserted thatover 326 million mobile devices were in use within The United States as of December 2012 – an estimated growth of more than 100 percent penetration rate with users carrying more than one device with notable continues growth. From this research, it’s evident that mobile computing has vastly accelerated in popularity over the last decade due to several factors noted by the authors in our chapter reading. In consideration withthis revelation,identify andname these factors, and provide a brief discussion about them.

Please tell me a little bit about how you view the Internet and the World Wide Web.What do they mean to you?What impact do they have on your life?What do you think the impact has been so far on our world?What about the future?Is this technology a good thing or a bad thing for people?

Explore an ethical or social issue surrounding some aspect of information technology DUE: Last day of course OVERVIEW: You will develop your Research Project in a series of clearly-defined, manageable steps over the four weeks of the course. One of our course objectives in ILR 260 is to “explore ethical and social issues surrounding information technology”, and your research projects—pieces of which you will share with classmates—will serve this objective and become part of the content of the course. Often students will select projects that relate to their academic majors or current jobs, but this is not a formal requirement. The most important thing is to pursue a research question that genuinely interests you. Information technology now touches just about every area of life. The point of your paper will be to craft a response, however preliminary, to a real question about some aspect of information technology. A “real” question is one that has no single, straightforward answer, and that will require you, in addressing the question, to draw upon and synthesize information from a variety of sources. Questions that lend themselves to simple explanatory or “how-to” answers (for example, “What is Twitter?” or “How can people protect their computers from hackers?”) will not work for this assignment. Questions that will work for this assignment appear near the end of this document.Choose one of these for your Research Project. Don’t worry if a classmate selects the same question. Each of you will inevitably turn up different kinds of sources and produce very different final projects. If none of the questions interest you… Hopefully, there is at least one question on the list that interests you, or that you can modify so that the question interests you. But if you’d like, you can propose a question not included on the list. Make sure the question you are proposing addresses an ethical or social issue related to information technology. Also, make sure it is not overly broad. Ask yourself: * Could an entire book potentially be written on this question? If so, the question is too broad for a short research paper. * Does the question contain multiple components? If so, select one component to focus on in your paper. (Hint: If your question includes a comma, it is probably too broad.) As you develop the project, keep in mind that our focus in ILR 260 is an inquiry, not argumentation. Argumentation is a worthy area of study and is a focus of other courses you may take at the university. In your ILR 260 research project, however, your primary goal is to explore your research question with depth and sophistication rather than to persuade an audience of a particular viewpoint. While you will need to propose some sort of answer to your question in the final version of your project, that answer may be tentative. It may, for example, point in the direction of further questions and further research. It may identify contradictions in your research that are at this time irresolvable. Again, in writing this paper, focus on exploring, interpreting, and synthesizing ideas rather than on “defending” a thesis. Keep in mind, too, that you will carry out your research using published information and opinions. You should not try to do primary research of your own, such as surveys or experiments. This kind of research is specialized, varies from one discipline to the next, and is beyond the scope of ILR260. As you progress through each stage of the project, you might find it helpful to keep in mind that the skills you are practicing have applications well beyond this course, and also beyond the academy. Whether you are writing a college paper or a workplace report, or just trying explain something to another person, you will want to be able to connect ideas in logical ways, to illustrate those ideas with clear explanations and examples, and to explain the nature of any sources you’ve consulted. EXAMPLE For an example of a completed ILR260 Final Research Project written by a past ILR260 student (and shared with the student’s permission), see https://tinyurl.com/y7ek5zjc COMPONENTS OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT Project Introduction (due end of Week 1) Library Research Report (due end of Week 2) Draft of Research Project (due end of Week 3) 4. Final draft of Research Project (due last day of class) FINAL DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS LENGTH 900-1200 words (not including citation page) FORMAT Please use APA citation style. (If you are majoring in English, you may use MLA instead.) Your final project will not include an abstract (but if you’d like an abstract- writing help resource for the future, here is one you might want to check out: How to write a research abstract ) AUDIENCE Address your paper to a general audience. Your ILR260 classmates have a wide range of backgrounds and academic interests; assume this kind of broad readership when you write your paper. Assume that your readers are not specialists in your topic area. Ideas must be fully explained and made accessible to a general readership. SOURCES Your research should emphasize peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles from the NU library’s databases. (Be assured that the database search skills you develop will have applications beyond NU.) Reference as many sources as needed in order to substantively explore your research question, but no fewer than 4. For additional guidance, see the source-selection criteria included in the Week 2 Library Research Report assignment.
