Assignment Question
Criteria Content: The assignment clearly answers both questions and shows knowledge of the lesson content and readings. Organization: Paragraph is organized around a point of focus within the first sentence. Paragraph flows logically between each sentence. Grammar and Mechanics: If any errors are present, they are minimal (less than 3) and do not affect comprehension. Tone and Diction: Writer uses appropriate college-level vocabulary and standard diction (avoiding slang, TXT-speak). Find, evaluate, select, and synthesize both online and print sources that examine a topic from multiple perspectives. Integrate sources through summarizing, paraphrasing, and quotation from sources to develop and support one’s own ideas. Generate, format, and edit writing using appropriate technologies Field research, also known as primary research, involves using human subjects to get information. These methods can be formalized (ex: a politician devises a phone poll to be given to millions of citizens, and the results are analyzed by a team of statisticians), or used informally (ex: a student interviews his grandmother about life during the Great Depression). Field research can be valuable since you receive your information straight from the source, or sources, themselves. Since you are in the driver’s seat, you can customize your research to suit the needs of your particular project. Three methods will be discussed in this lesson: interviews, observations, and surveys. For this assignment, view these that use field research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD-0-mIisLo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22ppFd1m_L8
