YOu need to follow the Proposal Paragraph as shown in the Assignment. There is a lot missing in your proposal paragraph above.
Write a paragraph in which you address the following questions:
This paragraph is your proposal now and later will become your RAB introduction. Use the following template:
My research question is: ___________ (plug in your research question)? This topic interests me because ______________ (good solid explanation – 3 more sentences). I already know that ____________. (3 more sentences). Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are _________ (at least 3 points).
NOTICE: Your proposal should explain a personal reasoning and connection to your RQ. Why are YOU personally interested in this RQ? Your proposal is just that a proposal, therefore it is written BEFORE you do the research! Your proposal should not have researching-sounding-speak.
Can you refine and focus your RQ? It’s not clearly written.
maybe —
Is the NYC subway system safe?
WHAT kind of safety do you mean? crime? gun violence in the subway? the rail system?
And you need a few possible sources — can you find some?
You should rewrite your proposal and follow the template. Your research question is a great start but it would be better to reword it. For example, you can use what Professor Wu said. Here’s an article that can help you.
