COMM 1133 – Communication for Media Studies
Research File – 20%
DUE: Before 5:00pm Sunday, March 17 2024
PART 1 (15%):
Completing the Research File assignment is part of the planning stage of writing a research essay. The file has 2 parts.
The first step in the planning stage is choosing a topic, a task which I have undertaken. Choose one of the following topics for your research essay:
1. Is social media use bad for mental health?
2. What are the benefits of having a diverse workforce (in Canada)?
3. Is there a gut/brain connection?
You can assume that this will be an argumentative essay in which you answer the question by providing evidence from your sources.
The second step is finding and evaluating sources. You will conduct online research to find 3 credible sources in journals, newspapers and magazines. You cannot use Wikipedia. You will then complete a Source Worksheet for each source (3 x 5%) and submit them in 1 document in the appropriate dropbox on Brightspace.
For your sources, you must find:
One academic, peer-reviewed journal article
One credible non-academic source (newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, reports, etc)
One short, informational text from a credible website or periodical
