The final project for the course will be a 3,500-5,000 word written document consisting of two parts: (1) a brief strategic plan for the next year or so of your graduate school career and (2) a proposal for a research project you plan to conduct. I've elaborated some expectations for each below. I also provide some formatting and submission guidelines | The final project for the course will be a 3,500-5,000 word written document consisting of two parts: (1) a brief strategic plan for the next year or so of your graduate school career and (2) a proposal for a research project you plan to conduct.

* '''Anticipated findings and contribution.''' Sure, you have not conducted the work yet, but what do you think you'll find/do and what evidence do you think you'll marshall?

I am flexible about how you format your work. Please use a standard format that is readable, visually appealing, and straightforward. Two standard formats (with widely available templates) you might consider are the [https://dl.acm.org/journal/pacmhci/submission-templates PACMHCI format] (in use in several ACM Conferences these days) or [https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.html APA style (from 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual)] (in use in several ICA-affiliated journals). Standard reference formats (APA, Chicago, ASA, PACM/HCI, IEEE) are absolutely necessary. | I am flexible about how you format your work.
