Using Synthesis in, and for, Plan of Attack part of Research Proposal:- What have authors you’ve collected (and will have read) said on a subject?
- From what you’ve read and synthesized, what kinds of sources should you be going after from here on out?
- Have you only read up on one side of an argument?
- What other questions do the authors you have read bring up that you will pursue?
- What type of sources have you found, and what seems to be missing? What types of sources will help you? (Ex.: Perhaps you’ve synthesized three articles, realizing each gives three different theories of why people in a culture act a certain way, but you’ve noticed that historical background isn’t provided. Then your synthesis of read material can help you think and propose what kinds of sources you feel you need to attempt to find.)
Homework: Midterm Research Proposal is due on Tuesday at 2pm. I will collect them in our normal classroom, will hand out the next assignment, and our class will be done at 2:20 or so! Make DARN sure the Proposal is printed and in my hand when I collect them at 2pm on Tuesday!
Any late Research Proposals means you’ve failed the class, as I do not accept late major papers (consult the syllabus for this policy).
