— FORMAL PAPER GUIDE:
As noted on your course syllabus, 20% of your grade is based on a formal report that requires research. Here is the assignment for the report. Although it is not due until closer to the end of the semester (November), you should begin the project now by selecting and researching an appropriate topic. Here is the assignment:
Ethical Dilemma/Controversy Researched Report
Assignment: Choose an ethical dilemma or controversy connected to your career field and write a 4-5 page, double-spaced, formal researched report on the topic.
( The Use of Force by Law Enforcement Officers)
– An ethical dilemma is a situation where a person faces a difficult choice between two or more conflicting ethical principles or values
– · Use of Force: Officers must decide whether to use force in a high-stakes situation. The dilemma is balancing the need to protect public safety and themselves against the potential harm to the individual involved. Excessive force can lead to violations of human rights, while insufficient force can endanger lives.
Ethics are the standards of conduct of a particular profession or group. A dilemma is defined as a situation in which one must choose between difficult alternatives. In an ethical dilemma, choosing between alternatives is challenging because ethical standards may be in conflict. Either choice may uphold one ethical standard but, at the same time, violate another. There may not be a clear cut way to choose between right and wrong.
Examples of a few ethical standards include:
Journalists protect the identity of their sources and also avoid receiving money or other favors from those about whom they write.
Health care professionals maintain patient confidentiality and also report public health hazards to government authorities.
Mortgage lenders pledge to advise clients of all costs.
Career counselors strive to avoid imposing their personal values or biases on those whom they advise.
Audience: The report should be geared for a lay audience (an audience who is not familiar with the field). In the workplace, reports may be read by multiple readers who have different levels of technical knowledge. However, because your instructor is not necessarily familiar with your field (a lay reader), you will need to define discipline-specific terminology and jargon and provide more background about the issue.
Content: Your report should contain the following information:
Summary of the ethical dilemma or controversy
A discussion of the ethical issues relating to the dilemma
A comparison of the different options for solving the dilemma
A proposed solution containing your personal perspective
Ethical dilemmas and controversies are not always easily resolved. This research is designed to help you examine and analyze a controversy in your career field.
Research Guidelines: You must use a minimum of five (5) sources for the researched report. The sources should be varied, and no more than two web sites can be used as sources. Encyclopedias and dictionaries may be used in the research process but cannot be counted as part of the minimum five sources needed. *Wikipedia may not be used as a resource, as it is not considered reliable.
2. The report must properly document the sources from which the borrowed information comes by using the Modern Language Association’s (MLA) format for documentation. The paper will include parenthetical citations throughout the body of the report and a corresponding Works Cited page at the end of the report that provides complete reference information about all sources used. A report submitted without a Works Cited page and/or proper documentation throughout the report will receive a grade of zero.
Report Requirements
The following elements are required parts of the formal researched report assignment:
Transmittal Correspondence: The report must be accompanied by a memorandum that provides an introduction of the report to the intended reader.
Cover Page: The first page of the report must be a cover page that gives the title of the report and the writer’s name and position. The cover page should also indicate the designated reader of the report as well as the reader’s position and the date the report is submitted.
Table of Contents: The table of contents lists all elements and sections of the report that follow it, giving the page on which each part of the report begins. The table of contents locates the parts of the report by page. Give each section heading a title that accurately describes the contents of that section.
Executive Summary: The report should contain a summary (a miniature version of the report) that provides a brief, concise, well-organized overview of your report. It should be 1/4th the length of the report and should occur on a page by itself. The summary is single-spaced.
Text: The text of the report (min. 5 pages) should be broken down into sections and sub-sections with headings. The report should be double-spaced and should use a size 12 font. The report should begin with an introduction that states your report’s purpose, scope, and outlines what will be covered in the body of the report. The report should end with a conclusion or recommendation section that reviews the main points of the report’s discussion and/or it offers recommendations.
Page Numbering: The prefatory elements of the report (cover page, table of contents, executive summary) are labeled with lower-case Roman numerals. The title page counts as lowercase Roman numeral page one ( i ). However, the title page is not numbered. Each page after the title page before the introduction is numbered with lowercase Roman numerals (ii. iii). The first page of the body of the report that begins with the introduction is numbered with Arabic one (1), and each page thereafter is numbered consecutively. Be sure to reflect these page numbers correctly in your table of contents.
Placement of page numbers: You may place the page numbers in one of three places on the page: the upper right-hand corner, lower-right-hand corner or centered at the bottom of the page. Just be consistent in placement.
Descriptive Headings: Headings must appear in the text exactly as they are listed in your table of contents. Do not entitle sections of your text with vague, general titles, such as “Body” or “Discussion.” Instead, break your report into sections and give each one a heading that describes the contents in the section that follows it. Break up long chunks of information under main headings with sub-headings.
Visual Aid(s): The report must contain one visual aid in the body of the report. The visual must be prepared neatly and labeled appropriately as a Table or Figure and given a title. A citation for where the visual was obtained must be provided directly below the visual aid and each visual must be located with the text it illustrates, not later. Each visual must be discussed in the report.
Parenthetical Citations: Citations are a required part of the researched report. They document your use of quotes, paraphrases, unusual or unique information, or the opinions of others. Only MLA parenthetical citation format is acceptable.
Works Cited: A list of all sources actually used in the report must be included at the end of the document. The Works Cited page is the last page of your report and provides a description of the sources. The sources must be arranged in alphabetical order by the last name of the author. If no author is listed, entries are arranged by the first important word in the title. MLA-formatted Works Cited lists are never numbered.
Optional Components: An Appendix can include materials useful to the reader’s understanding of the report. The Appendix is located at the end of the report after the Works Cited page.
In addition, if the report contains many technical terms, a glossary should be created. The Glossary is also located at the end of the report.
—– Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Annotated bibliographies provide brief overviews or summaries of articles related to a specific topic. Often they are compiled in order to demonstrate what sources are available on a topic a scholar considers studying.
This assignment asks you to find and reflect critically on at least 5 relevant sources that you are planning on using for your formal report. (If you need to refresh your memory regarding the requirements for your formal research report, visit the assignment’s description in Lesson 8.) Writing the bibliography before your report will help you begin to synthesize the arguments surrounding your research topic.
Assignment Guidelines
Your annotated bibliography should meet the following criteria:
1.) You should include a brief, one paragraph introduction of your research topic. This introduction will also act as a summary of the ethical dilemma or controversy you have selected to research. The purpose of this section is to also introduce the sources you have annotated and to explain how they relate to each other.
2.) You must include a variety of types of sources (journal articles, newspaper articles, books, sources in print and from NC-Live). Most of your sources should be no more than about five years old.
You must include sources that provide multiple perspectives on the controversy or ethical dilemma you have selected.
Do not include encyclopedia or dictionary entries (You may consult these to learn background materials about your topic, but they will not count as one of your required five sources of information).
3.) Provide bibliographic information for each source (just as in the Works Cited section of a paper), using MLA format.
4.) Summarize each source in a brief, one-paragraph annotation. These annotations should provide brief overviews of the sources. What are the key points addressed in the source? How will the source be useful?
Format
For each of your sources, you should provide the complete bibliographic source information using MLA format.
Annotations
Your annotations for each of your 5 sources should do the following:
summarize the source (chapter, book, article, or the like)
identify the piece’s argument (or main point)
rely primarily on your own words and phrasing-use summary and paraphrase
discuss the source’s strength(s). For instance, does the item offer a good introduction to the issue? Does the item deal with a particular aspect of the issue that is especially relevant to the overall controversy you plan to address in your formal report?
describe how this piece will contribute to your project.
Checklist:
Your ENTIRE annotated bibliography, including the introduction, should be single spaced.
Your annotated bibliography should be typed in size 12 Times New Roman or Arial font.
Your annotated bibliography should have 1 inch margins on all sides.
Your annotated bibliography should contain an accurate MLA heading.
Your annotated bibliography should follow MLA format.
Each annotation should be approximately 4-6 sentences long. Each annotation should not exceed a 1/2 page single spaced.
Each annotation should briefly summarize the type of source (is it a book? a journal?), summarize the piece’s argument, highlight strength(s) of the source, and explain how the source will contribute to your report.
Your annotated bibliography should be clear, concise, and grammatically correct.
