The following is a guide to help you follow through on your project proposal. Following is a checklist of items to include in your final report:<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Conduct research and collect data.<\/p>\n<p>Data collection includes the use of primary and secondary sources:<\/p>\n<p>Secondary Sources (for background and general information)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Peer-reviewed, scholarly journals<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Journals\/trade publications for educated lay<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Databases (e.g., government statistics)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 DO NOT use Wikipedia as a source<\/p>\n<p>Primary Sources<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Surveys<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Interviews<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Original documents (government documents, reports, budgets)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Observation (with documentation)<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Analyze and synthesize the data and document the need by providing supporting evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Your paper requires substantial background research and documentation. Using the data you have collected, include a literature review, an overview of research that is related to the topic. This \u0093lit review\u0094 indicates the need (or significance) in that it shows the context for your research, how it contributes to existing work, and points to any gaps in other studies. This literature review often precedes your statement of purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In your team projects, you can document the need in the following ways: surveys and\/or interviews, journal articles, and systematic\/methodical observation.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Propose a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Recommend a course of action. What are possible methods of resolving the problem? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a particular course of action? Is the solution feasible? Is it practical?<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Draft the report.<\/p>\n<p>Papers should include the following three specific elements:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 What? (clear definition of topic and purpose)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Why? (need, answers the \u0093so what\u0094 question and )<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 How? (materials and methods)<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Proofread\/Revise\/Edit.<\/p>\n<p>Each member of your group should proofread and make necessary revisions and editions to the document before submission.<\/p>\n<p>Team Project Checklist<\/p>\n<p>Submit your report with the names of all team members printed on the title page or in the heading. Submit the paper to Canvas and in hard copy form.<\/p>\n<p>Format:<\/p>\n<p>Body: Use headings in the body, double space the text, and indent paragraphs. Place no extra spaces between paragraphs; the exception is three spaces when followed by a heading. Page numbers should be in the upper right header. Do not include tables and graphs in the text; all visuals should be placed in the appendix.<\/p>\n<p>Citations: APA Style or MLA style.<\/p>\n<p>When possible, avoid direct quotes, instead, use a paraphrase and citation. However, when quotes are necessary, use a \u0093lead\u0094 to a direct quote: For example, NOT: \u0093By providing the journalistic value of objectivity and balance, the media actually create a biased view of climate change\u0094 (Smith &amp; Jones, 1989, p. 34). YES: According to communication researchers, \u0093By providing the journalistic . . .\u0094 (Smith &amp; Jones, p. 34). That is, use transitions to lead into your quoted material.<\/p>\n<p>Front matter: (See formal report guidelines for more specific instructions and examples.)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Letter of Transmittal (LETTER FORMAT)<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Introduces the topic to the readers<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Provides an overview of the subject and purpose, introduces main points to be covered, and gives<\/p>\n<p>a brief descriptions of methods, recommendations, and budget<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Ends with polite close<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Cover<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Title page\u0096includes the title, authors, date of preparation, and to whom submitted<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Table of Contents\u0097in parallel structure, includes appendices<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 List of Illustrations<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Executive Summary (one page)\u0097a brief condensation of the report, single spaced, should include background and major findings and implications<\/p>\n<p>Text of report:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Introduction<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Explain the subject of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Explain the purpose of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Provide background.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Describe sources of information.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Indicate scope of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Summarize the most significant findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Briefly summarize your recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Explain the organization of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Define key terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Methods<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 What tools did you use to conduct your research? Here, talk about your primary research. For example: \u0093To investigate Florida Tech students\u0092 knowledge about ____, we conducted a survey of (#) students, asking questions such as ______. (For the complete survey, see Appendix A.) Interviews with _____, ____, and _____ gave us insight into _______.\u0094<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Be specific about what was accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Justify your methodological choices.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Findings\/Results: What did you learn from your primary research that informs your summary of recommendations?<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Discussion and Recommendations (implications of what you learned and changes that need to be implemented). Address any limitations (small sample size, lack of response by county\/school officials).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Conclusion: final paragraph summarizing your recommendation and providing a call to action.<\/p>\n<p>End matter:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 References (Works Cited)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Appendices (interview questions, surveys, supporting materials)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Detailed budget (if appropriate)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Glossary (if needed)<\/p>\n<p>Group Presentation Guidelines<\/p>\n<p>Sci\/Tech Communication<\/p>\n<p>Your assignment is to give a 15 minute oral report based on your final project. Each member of your group is expected to participate equally in the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Format:<\/p>\n<p>Introduction (Abstract)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Capture attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Define purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Give main points.<\/p>\n<p>Provide an overview of your project. Be brief and remember the tenets of speech-making).<\/p>\n<p>Body<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Provide background on the topic (facts, statistics, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Briefly explain your research (what you did and what you found).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 What does it mean? What are your recommendations?<\/p>\n<p>Convince your audience through the evidence of your research that your recommendations are appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Briefly review your main points and recommendation\/conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Tie your research to broader implications.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 End with a strong call to action.<\/p>\n<p>Control the tone and focus of your message so the audience focuses on the important aspects of the report.<\/p>\n<p>Technological constraints:<\/p>\n<p>Your presentation should include some audio\/visual component. You may use PowerPoint, but it is not required. If you need access to the DVD\/VHS machine, let me know in advance. Bring a jump\/flash drive, but be sure to provide a backup\/contingency plan (e.g., save slides on your \u0093U\u0094 drive and send them to your email account as an attachment).<\/p>\n<p>Things to remember for presenters:<\/p>\n<p>1. Be professional and courteous.<\/p>\n<p>2. Dress appropriately. (Attire to avoid: jeans, shorts, sneakers, flip-flops, t-shirts. Appropriate: slacks, skirts, collared shirts. Use an iron if necessary!)<\/p>\n<p>3. Be attentive \u0096 when you are not speaking, pay attention to the speaker; do not be a distraction to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>4. Be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>5. Be clear. Speak up and speak clearly.<\/p>\n<p>6. Be yourself. Relax. We all want you to do well.<\/p>\n<p>Things to remember for audience members:<\/p>\n<p>1. Be there! Attendance is important. An absence on a day you are not presenting (or inattention to the presenter) will reflect (negatively) on your presentation grade.<\/p>\n<p>2. Let the speakers know if you cannot hear\/understand them.<\/p>\n<p>3. Ask questions. Show interest in your fellow students\u2019 presentations.<\/p>\n<p>4. Treat all presenters with respect.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Project Guidelines: Steps to Writing the Final Team Report Sci\/Tech Communication Once you have completed your proposal, your next step is to conduct research and prepare your report.
