Term Paper: The term paper will be about a topic of your choice that relates to management information systems or an information technology. An annotated bibliography of 5 to 7 references supporting your paper will be submitted electronically. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for references (books, articles, and documents) that will support your paper. Each citation will be followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph [don’t forget to include an evaluation of the applicability of the source to your topic] called the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. (Olin and Uris Libraries, Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853). The term paper may not be a resubmitted product from another course or based on a course research topic. Keep the scope of this paper narrow and select a topic designed to expand on the information provided in class. Specifically, do not select material covered in the textbook. Sources will be less than seven (7) years old. Completed papers will be in 12-point type, double-spaced, and consist of not less than six or more than ten pages (excluding illustrations, graphs, charts, the cover sheet, and a reference list). Papers will be graded on applicability, content, logic, flow, proper APA style and citations.
