Hello,I need help with a course project.
Hello,I need help with a course project. I’m taking on to many classes right now and just need someone to
handle this for me.
I need each “week” in separate folders, then ultimately the final paper. I also need the project proposal before this Saturday.
Please take the time to read the instructions carefully and let me know if you need anymore information on my end.
I would also prefer if the paper was not based on Robotic Surgery.
Thanks!
Objectives
This capstone course concludes with a research-based Course Project that starts during the first week of the session and continues throughout the duration of the course. It culminates with the submission of a formal, written report in Week 7. In addition to the final outcomes, students will also conduct a peer evaluation of another student’s project in order to provide feedback that enhances the work in a collaborative environment.
For the project, each student will identify and explore an emerging technology. This will be a technology that may already exist but is drawing attention because of new applications, anticipated impacts, or potential controversies. Examples could include, but are in no way limited to, the following subjects.
- Nanotechnology
- Genetically modified organisms
- Drones
- Automatic cars
- Remote or robotic surgery
- Wireless electricity
The student will address the historical, social, cultural, moral, and ethical issues presented by their selected technology.
Guidelines
The primary focus of this assignment is for the student to research and assess the issues associated with a specific emerging technology. It requires that students submit an APA-formatted, 10-page paper during Week 7 of the session. Students will also conduct a peer evaluation of another student’s work and must prepare a 5- to 10-page presentation communicating their thoughts on the work. Details on this assignment are discussed below, and detailed grading rubrics can be found on this LAS432 Course Project Details document.
The paper must be well researched and utilize scholarly resources (refer to this Week 7 APA Paper Template and the APA Guide tutorial found in the Writing and Research Help tab for help in this area). The final product should include the following components.
- A title page, including the student’s name and DSI number
- An abstract
- A table of contents
- An introduction, including a clearly defined thesis statement (roughly one page) (10 points)
- An historical timeline that diagrams at least three predecessors to the emergent technology that includes a written assessment on how these technologies influenced the development of the current technology (roughly two pages)
- Please note that the timeline should be a horizontal visual component at the beginning of the section, and the written assessment should take up a majority of the two pages.
- An analysis of the technology’s influence on society considering all of the following components (roughly four pages)
- Social
- Cultural
- Political
- Economic
- Environmental
- An evaluation of the ethical considerations associated with the technology in relation to its impact on humanity (roughly two pages)
- Concluding remarks that include predictions for the future of humanity given the technology’s emergence (roughly one page)
- In-text citations and a reference section in APA format
- A one-page peer evaluation analysis detailing the following information.
- A copy of the Peer Evaluation Presentation Assessment form, completed by a peer
- The edits added or subtracted from the suggestions provided by the collaboration
- A description of the reasoning behind the changes
- Appropriate statistical graphs or visual aids to support the paper
The Peer Evaluation Assessment and PowerPoint Presentation will help to foster collaboration during the writing process as, at times, others can see what you cannot. Because an audience can react to aspects of your argument in ways you may not anticipate, having the feedback of a peer can be invaluable.
The Peer Evaluation Assessment and PowerPoint Presentation will allow a sense of collaboration in this Course Project. Although it isn’t essential to incorporate every comment or suggestion made by your peer, it is important that the student be open to the process and look for the opportunities that others will provide you as a means of improving your argument and ultimately, your final grade.
For the Peer Evaluation Assessment and PowerPoint Presentation, the student will read and respond to a fellow student’s paper by completing a written assessment and creating a PowerPoint presentation, with audio, that communicates a professional and considerate response. This is a five-step process.
- All students must upload a draft of the entire paper to the team area by Tuesday.
- Students must download the Peer Evaluation Presentation Assessment Form.
- Students must read their peer’s work and complete the Peer Evaluation Presentation Assessment Form.
- Students must then create a PowerPoint presentation, with audio, to communicate their findings regarding the report (refer to this Peer Evaluation Presentation Template for help in this area). The final product will assess the communication style of the presenter and should include the following components.
- A title page
- An introduction slide, outlining the purpose and flow of the presentation
- Format of the paper evaluation
- Historical timeline and predecessor assessment evaluation
- Analysis of impact evaluation
- Ethical considerations evaluation
- Concluding remarks
- In-text citations and a references slide
- Appropriate visual aids to support the presentation
- Lastly, these two components must be submitted to the Week 6 Peer Evaluation Assessment Presentation Dropbox and the Week 6 Peer Evaluation Presentation Assessment Form Dropbox for grading purposes and to the student whom they reviewed for their improvement purposes by the end of the week.
Grading Rubrics
Specific grading rubrics for each deliverable are located in the individual Weekly Assignment tabs.
Below is a breakdown of the weekly deliverables for the Course Project, including their description and their overall point allotment.
Week 1:
Topic and Thesis Proposal
30
The student will define the chosen topic, provide a brief description of the emergent technology, and write a thesis statement (refer to the tutorial on Thesis Statements found in the Writing and Research Help tab for help on this assignment). The proposal must then be submitted to the Dropbox by the end of the week.
Week 2:
Resource Review
50
The student will assemble at least five scholarly academic references that will be used to write the paper (refer to the tutorial on Scholarly References and Accessing Library Databases found in the Writing and Research Help tab for help on this assignment). Each student will list his or her references using APA format and provide a brief explanation of each resource indicating how that resource will be used. The focus should be on the student’s specific research assignment. For details on this assignment and to see a brief example of what is expected, please reference this Week 2 Resource Review Assignment Details document. Once complete, the review must be submitted to the Dropbox by the end of the week.
