In the remainder of the course ahead, you will select a topic of personal interest to you, define a controversy within that topic, andMarketing Research and Data Analysis examine that controversy at length. The final result will be a 1500 – 2000 word (approx. 5 – 7 page) persuasive research paper that argues convincingly for one side of that controversy.
You must utilize at least 3 sources that will help you portray your argument. These sources must be incorporated correctly, used appropriately, and cited thoroughly using MLA standards. Sources should represent both the side that agrees with you and those that disagree with your own thesis. Your final draft will need to incorporate at least one chart, table, or graph, as well as at least one pictorial component (photo, drawing, etc). These materials must be cited as well.
Before writing this paper, you must submit the Research Proposal and Bibliography assignment. This will help you plan your paper and execute it in parts so that the last steps feel more like assembly than writing a huge paper in one or two days. The supporting modules for this assignment are Reading Module 3: Research, and Reading Module 4: Citation. Carefully read or re-read all the materials they contain.
