Research Paper Proposal
Create a proposal for the final research paper which is due in Week Six of the class. This proposal will help you develop a comprehensive guideline for your research paper. The framework for the paper should include a clear thesis statement, an annotated bibliography for at least ten scholarly journal articles and a summative section that expresses the overall plan for the direction of the paper. This proposal should be between four to five pages in length. Be sure to follow the APA documentation and writing guidelines when completing this assignment. Sample Research Paper ideas could include: The politics of urban planning, an analysis of a specific area of urban planning (for example, transportation planning), a comparative analysis of several areas of urban planning (for example, transportation planning vs. housing planning), a historical analysis of urban planning in the United States or a comparative analysis of urban planning on the international scale.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
