Based on the work you have done over the past several weeks as well as any adjustment you’d like to make at this time, type your completed financial plan or attach a file below. You can use the hypothetical financial plan for Stephanie Spratt as a reference, but your plan must be about you, and ideally will contain much more detail than is contained in Stephanie’s plan. The more seriously you consider and develop each area of the plan, the better prepared you will be to make realistic changes as circumstances change. Our textbook states the following near the end of chapter 21:
Your plan must address each of these categories:
1. Plan for Budgeting, including a statement of your goals
7. Estate Plan (Note: do not disclose the names of people who will receive your assets upon your death, just address the issues that were raised in the previous assignments for estate planning).
Choose one topic to write a paper, relating philosophy
Between 1000-1500 words, using high school senior tone. It is a philosophy class. I will give the Powerpoint that include the questions’ topics. You can check the keywords in Powerpoint after you select the topic. Do not forget the Works Cited page. You can use online resources.
Please select one question from the list below, and make sure to clearly state the question you are answering at the start of your essay.
(9) How should we demarcate genuine science from pseudo-science?
(10) Critically evaluate the merits of scientific realism by focusing on what you take to be either the strongest argument in its defense or the strongest argument against it.
Choose whatever you are comfortable with to write about. Be specific.
Here is the assignment:
Introduction:
Create a proposal for a piece of original and meaningful research based upon the following research prompt. Please note that we are not writing a research paper. We are writing a research proposal.
Prompt:
Choose three of our readings from this semester as well as one recent global event of significance (no, it doesn’t have to be COVID-19). Conduct a comprehensive critical analysis using your 3 selected readings as well as at least 10 other sources, ultimately demonstrating how your 3 selected texts clarify or illuminate the recent event about which you are writing.
This section should be a 250 word (minimum) description of your proposed research topic, including your hypothesis. Why is your research important? How does it expand/extend current research? What do you suspect the outcome of your research to be?
Methodology:
This section will be brief, likely one page only (250 words, perhaps even less), and will detail your approach to this topic. What types of sources will you seek? Why is your approach the most appropriate way to go about your research?
Annotated works cited:
This will be a list of potential sources for your proposed research. The list should be at least 13 sources long. Your 3 selected texts will be among these 13 sources. In other words, you only need to find 10 additional sources, which need not all be from our periodical databases. For each works cited entry, you should include a brief paragraph (3+ sentences) summarizing the source and another paragraph (3+ sentences) explaining how you expect the source to be useful to your research.
This alternative assignment definitely entails a good deal of work, but I believe you will find it fun as well as a nice break from the usual drudgery of writing papers (although I enjoy writing papers).
