Topic : Physiological effects of strength training.
This week your main work is on your research proposal (see discussion board prompt below) for the main research paper.
In a post of about 500 words (300 for your proposal and 100 each for the two source summaries), Give a quick introduction of the topic you want to research and summarize two relevant scholarly articles that you’ve found so far–include the citations, too).
What is the topic? Why is it significant, an interesting problem, a relevant issue, etc.? Who is your audience within or related to your discipline? What have you found out from preliminary research: what questions are being asked by scholars researching this issue now? what kinds of research (methodology) is being done to study it? What are some theories/arguments you have found so far in this body of research? What are some ways you could narrow the topic?
What is your tentative research question based on this analysis of the issue? What methodology and resources will you use: Synthesize secondary research only? Also apply theories/conceptual lenses from previous research to analyze primary sources?
Who do you think you could address about this topic to make an interesting and helpful argument?
Include citations and summaries for two articles you have found so far. (For one of these, copy and paste the practice citation/annotation from Friday, 2/28–then just do one more). About 100 words each source: (25 citation, 75 summary).
