Group Wiki Project Proposal Template

I. Working Title — “How is big data used in healthcare services?”

II. Research Question — frame your group’s umbrella topic as the question you hope to answer through your research

III. Introduction — a few sentences or a paragraph describing your group’s umbrella topic (ideas to consider: the significance of the research question; how answering it might help make sense of or illustrate themes from the course; what ideas or issues from the course will be central to your research)

IV. List of subtopics,

1. How is big data used in healthcare services?”

2. What skills in hardware/software should one possess to work in the Internet of Things domain?

Name of group members to discuss the subtopics : Joseph Odoh

The project will need a brief introductory and conclusion section, too, so you should also list those and decide who will work on them.

V. Schedule with interim deadlines that you set, which shows how you will move toward finishing the work by the due date.

· sources due __________

· first draft due __________

· find and add multimedia and edit __________

· write and revise __________

· final draft due __________

Be sure to check the deadlines in the Syllabus. Look at the final deadline and work backward from there. Think about what the steps are and make sure all agree, as this is the schedule you are setting for yourselves.

V. Resources

A few ideas about what resources you could use; you will flesh this out in the bibliography assignment that comes next.

VI. Conclusion: (a working hypothesis or planned destination)

Preview: Where are you headed? The expectation is that your final wiki will have sub-sections on different wiki pages (including one page per subtopic) and include nice links, images, maybe video, and very clear citations in APA format that tell your reader exactly which words you’ve borrowed and from where, so that they can click on them and read the original. Remember what you learned about avoiding plagiarism by using APA-style in-text citations for any quote, paraphrase, summary, or idea that you found in a source. This means that you can’t just put your complete bibliography at the end. Your citations will need to be on the page where they’re referenced.
