The    Research    Paper    Proposal   
Your    Paper    Proposal    should    include    the    following:   
1.    Working    title.    You    may    discard    your    working    title    on    your    final    draft,    but    for    now,    it    should    be   
specific    and    focused.    It    will    be    your    readers    first    indication    of    the    direction    in    which    you    intend   
to    travel.    Be    sure    to    include    key    words    that    accurately    identify    your subject    and    issue(s).   
2.    Identify    your    research    issue.    A    substantial    paragraph    (not    one    long    sentence)    in    which    you   
identify    your    subject    or    issue    and    pose    a    list    of    questions    about    your    subject    or    issue.    At    this   
point,    your    questions    may    be    quite    simple.    What    will    you    need    to    know    in    order    to    explore    your   
main    research    question?    What    kinds    of    information    will    you    need?    Who,    what,    when,    where,   
how,    why?    Provide    a    context    for    your    questions;    that    is,    explain    the    significance    or    importance   
of    the    questions    you    have    chosen.    As    you    learn    more    about    your    topic,    the    questions    that    steer   
your    research    will    become    more    refined    and    more    complex.   
3.    Working    thesis.    Although    your    reading    will    prompt    you    to    refine    and    revise    your    initial   
thinking    about    the    subject,    you    should    make    an    effort    to    articulate    a    working    thesis    — a    central   
hypothesis,    a    controlling    idea    — early    on.   
So,    in    a    brief    paragraph,    draft    a    tentative    thesis    for    your    paper.    Ask    yourself:    what    am    I    trying    to   
explain    or    claim?    You    may    have    little    or    no    basis    for    an    opinion    at    this    point,    and    thats    fine.   
However,    on    most    questions    that    interest    you,    youll    have    some    opinion.    Spell    out    what    that    is.   
Be    sure    that    you    state    your    central    claim    in    specific    terms    and    that    you    explain    it    in    enough   
detail    that    a    reader    can    follow    it.   
The    thesis:    A    thesis    is    an    argument–an    opinion,    conclusion,    idea,    or    explanation    that    you    drew   
from    the    evidence    you    examined    and    which    your    paper    will    support.    It    is    generally    an    informed   
and    supportable    (as    well    as    refutable)    opinion.    A    thesis    is    a    claim    that    would    be    an    issue    for   
someone;    it    has    at    least    two    dimensions    — individuals    can    disagree    on    the    issue.    It    is    not    merely   
a    statement    of    fact.    The    Bulldog    is    the    mascot    for    the    University    of    Monterey    is    not    an   
adequate    thesis,    even    though    it    is    true.    The    bulldog    is    an    appropriate    symbol    for    the    University   
of    Monterey    because    it    manifests    qualities    with    which    the    members    of    this    university   
community    identify:    strength,    loyalty,    and    tenacity    is    a    thesis    because    it    provides an   
explanation    for    a    fact.   
A    good    thesis    answers    questions    like    why    or    how    (e.g.,    Why    does    an    environment,    an    artwork,    a   
film    object,    look    the    way    it    does?    How    does    it    embody    &/or    generate    meaning?)    A    strong    thesis   
will    organize    the    paper    for    you:    each    paragraphs    topic    should    support    or    help    prove    your    thesis,    and    the    first    or    last    sentence    of    a    paragraph    (topic    and    transition    sentences)    is    the    best    place    to   
explicitly    state    that    relationship    to    your    larger    argument.   
Another    way    to    think    about    this:    if    you    had    to    present    one    meaningful    opinion    about    the   
artwork,    artist,    or    visual    practice    you    chose,    what    would    it    be?    Given    the    evidence    gathered   
through    your    research,    how    would    you    convince    the    reader    that    your    opinion    is    informed    and   
valid?    This    is    the    goal    of    your    paper.    The    purpose    of    this    paper    assignment    is    to    develop   
research    and    analytical    skills    — to    generate    research    questions    and    construct    an    argument    with   
relevant    details    into    a    coherent    whole.    Do    not    present    an    array    of    interesting,    but    unrelated   
facts    and    descriptions.    Everything    in    the    body    of    the    paper    should    meaningfully    contribute    to   
the    development    of    your    argument/thesis/position.   
3.    Research    Resources.    Create    a    preliminary    list    of    published    sources/library    holdings    relevant   
to    your    issue.    Identify    5-7    print    sources    (articles    and    books)    related    to    your    topic.

IOT

-the Prof is asking for a new idea on IoT use, technology or update which could help businesses or human lifestyle or anything about anything that would make a major effect. The idea can be: new – already there but you will upgrade it in a way that would have a positive effect dramatically.
-you should put into consideration: the objective of the idea – the technology needed and whether it is available now or in the future – what is the idea — what would it affect and help – what are the critical issues and what could it be done to fix it.
