begin working on this important assignment this week. To get started, you will select a theme/topic from the suggested list found within the Research Project instructions found in Week 5. If you have a theme/topic other than one listed, please submit it to your instructor for approval. After selecting a theme, begin brainstorming a plan on how to approach this exercise publicly through this discussion forum. The discussion post must include the following information in a couple of detailed and descriptive paragraphs:
Select a topic and explain why you chose the theme/topic (what interests you about this topic?).
Research some preliminary Internet and/or library resources to be used in writing your research paper.
Describe how you plan to meet and apply APA standards of professional writing to your research paper.
Include other ideas and planning efforts you wish to document, including your use of Diigo. All preplanning efforts used in the development of your research project will help you achieve success during the next five weeks.
After your primary post, respond to at least two of your fellow students’ postings and begin a critical debate with them. This will stimulate critical thought and help you recognize theoretical gaps or flaws in basic assumptions, both yours and your classmates.
