Need help with a career research Paper. I have completed phases One, Two, and Three and have uploaded what I completed. I have also uploaded a complete description of the Career Research Paper assignment and the grading criteria. Please complete the remaining phases except phase five. I am looking for a final APA formatted research paper. This is for an intro to technologhy class but is a reasearch paper about IT careers. I need this to be completed by November 11, 2013.
INT

10H Research Project (16
5
points)
Exploring Information Technology Careers
See the summary at the end of this document for due dates of each phase and possible points for each
.
This project will involve a comparison of three careers. One career should be in your major. The other two should be IT careers. Of course if IT is your major then all
3
will be in IT.One of the IT careers should be related to cyber security. If your major is undecided, choose a career that interests you for the career in your major. In addition to comparing the careers, you will discuss at least one ethical issue that may arise for those who work in one of the careers, and one emerging or “cutting edge” technology used in one of the careers.
Phase
1: Decide on the 3 careers you will investigate. No two students in the class may have identical sets of 3 careers, though overlap is allowed. When you decide on the three careers, post a thread to the Blackboard discussion board established for this purpose. Before posting, look at the threads already there to make sure your set of 3 is unique. You don’t have to explain anything, just list the 3 careers in the subject line so we don’t have to open the thread to see which careers you chose. Your post can include any additional information or questions you want answered. A good place to locate career information is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov
Phase 2
: Go to your favorite search engine and for each career, do the following:
· Search for each career (using a job title works well).
· Go to the first 3 good “hits” or results and paste each url into a Word document.
· Submit your Word document with the 3 url’s (for each career, for a total of 9 urls) in the discussion board forum established for this purpose. Start a new threat for your submission. Note that the remainder of the Phases will NOT be submitted in a discussion board forum.
Phase 3
: Evaluate the worth of each source you found above. Go to
http://www.umuc.edu/library/guides/web.shtml
Read the information you find there about using various resources for research and how to evaluate what you find on the web according to 5 specific criteria. Look at your 3 sources from Phase 2 and identify those that might not be high quality sources of information (go back to the site to refresh your memory on its content). Write notes in the Word document after each url about this. For example, you may note the information on the site is not current, or there is no contact information for the site, or it is filled with advertising. Also note if some sources seem to be of good quality and why. After this, use the information you just learned about evaluating websites to locate some better sources so you have at least 2 high quality sources for each of the 3 careers. Add enough sources to your Word document to have the required 6 sources and begin to build an annotated bibliographyfor these sources. This will include the url of each and some notes about information that is contained there and might be useful in your paper. These notes are not about the quality of the source because at this point all 6 should be quality sources. They should instead be about the content of the sources you plan to use in your research. Submit this document into the Blackboard assignment for this phase.
Phase 4
: The class will collaborate on developing a set of criteria to evaluate the 3 careers. Although salary is the criterion that will come to most of our minds, there are other important factors to consider. Once the list of criteria is developed, begin creating an evaluation matrix in Excel that will let you compare the 3 careers side by side on each criterion in the list the class developed. Everyone in the class will use the same criteria for their evaluation matrix.Refer to the tutorial about creating an evaluation matrix if needed. What should be in the matrix at this point is the criteria to be used, how you personally weight each one, and what 3 careers are going to be evaluated. See the tutorial on Blackboard about creating an evaluation matrix. Create your own matrix and name this file EM_first_draft_XXXXXXXX.xlsx where the XXXXXXXX represent your last name (you do not type the file extension or the period).
Based on your research, rate each career on each criterion (on a scale of 1 to 100). Again refer to the tutorial about creating an evaluation matrix if needed. After you have rated all 3 careers, create Excel formulas to calculate weighted scores. This will enable you to see which career scored best with the raw scores and then which career scored best with the weighted scores. Create an Excel chart showing some good information from the data in your worksheet. Do a Save As and name this file EM_XXXXXXXX.xlsx (where again the XXXXXXXX represents your last name). Submit both drafts of your evaluation matrix into the Blackboard assignment for this phase. During this phase you are beginning to conduct research that will enable you to give a rating or score to each criterion, but your research may not be complete, so just do your best in assigning the scores for each career on each criterion. If your completed research demands that you change some of these scores in your final version, that is fine. The important thing at this stage is to get your Excel formulas correct. That way, if scores change, then your weighted scores will also change. You should also be taking notes on ethical issues faced by those in at least two of your careers, and an emerging or “cutting edge” technology used in at least two of the careers.
Phase 5
: Write a rough draft of your research paper. Make sure your document contains the following:
The body of your paper should briefly explain your choice of careers and why you weighted the criteria for evaluating the careers as you did. It should also explain any high or low scores you gave any of the careers and generally discuss how the careers compared to each other with respect to the criteria. Support the ratings (scores) you assigned each career on the various careers with details from your research. It is not necessary to explain each score in great detail, but you should help your reader understand how you arrived at your scores by presenting specific details about the career with respect to your evaluating criteria.
Include a conclusion that discusses what you learned from the project, both in terms of using Word and Excel and in terms of career exploration. Also, state your thoughts on using the evaluation matrix. Did you get the results you were expecting? Why or why not?
An Appendix that contains at least one well developed paragraph on each of the following topics:
A. Discuss one or two ethical issues that can be faced by those in one or two of your careers. These issues should involve the use of emerging technology. Discuss how you think an individual in that career should deal with the issue. Please support your opinion on how one should deal with the issue by citing facts learned in your research.
B. Discuss one or two “cutting edge” or emerging technologies that are used in one or two of the careers that you researched. This should be a technology that has begun to be used in the last 3 years. Discuss how the technology works and how it can help those in the career to accomplish their work more effectively or efficiently. In addition, discuss the limitations of using the technology. Details about these technologies should be supported by your research.
Do some research on plagiarism to refresh your memory about how you need to credit your sources. Start with this link to a tutorial on the University of Maryland University College web page:
http://www.umuc.edu/ewc/tutorial/start.shtml
. Completing this tutorial will take about 30 minutes. Take a screen of and print your certificate when you “pass.” It is worth 5 points extra credit.
Submit a copy of your rough draft to the TurnItIn assignment in Blackboard. There will be a second assignment in Blackboard where you will submit a commentary explaining your reactions to your originality report as well as a pasted in screen shot of your certificate (see previous paragraph) if you are doing that extra credit option. You may want to view the video about how to interpret the originality report.
Phase 6
: Write the final draft of your research paper. Make any necessary changes to your crediting of sources based on your TurnItIn report. Make sure your final copy includes the following according to APA format (see example paper for illustration of this format):
· Title page
· Abstract
· Body of paper with sources credited parenthetically
· The evaluation matrix and chart pasted into it at an appropriate place
· References page
· An Appendix (see above)
Submit this final draft into the Blackboard assignment for this phase. Also submit your final Excel spreadsheet.
Possible
bonus points (worth a possible 15 bonus points):
Informally interview someone who is currently in one of the careers you chose. Take notes during the interview. Add a second appendix to your paper with a few paragraphs detailing the most important information you learned from them. Also, type up your notes and add them after the paragraphs of information learned. This section should include your interview questions and the interviewee responses.
