Overview
Project #2:
Senior Project Research Paper
Research a topic for your possible senior project. Explore ideas and discover new opportunities or reimagine existing ones. Using the same methods as the main project, you will use what you’re learning to research and prepare a paper to share your research findings for Senior Project. When completed, you will be able to back up and defend why your topic is important to your Senior Project Advisor. Remember that its acceptance is dependent upon your advisor the professor for that class.
Your project will include:
- An abstract of concept.
- Research to validate ideas, assumptions, and specific perspectives.
- Why the topic is important to you?
- How does your concept/project differ from existing impact projects?
- What are the best approaches toward getting your message out to the intended audience(s)?
- What is a realistic timeline to achieve the desired result by the end of the 13 weeks?
Timeline
- Week 10 – Abstract Due.
- Week 14 – Submitted SP Proposal
Project Grading
Research, independent/ critical assessment, and paper organization are critical for creating a proper Senior Project proposal.
Therefore, grades will be determined as follows:
| Abstract Review | 25% | |
| Research / Appendix | 15% | |
| Final research paper/ proposal | 60% |
For the senior project I was thinking of making an advertising campaign to promote my country, Kosovo. Kosovo is a landlocked country in eastern europe, part of the balkan countries. The idea is to promote the beauty and the tradition of Kosovo which I believe people are not very familiar with. Another reason why I chose this topic is because every time someone asks me where I come from and I say Kosovo, I always have to explain where Kosovo is. So, I want people to know where Kosovo is and what it offers.
Here is my abstract statement:
