Term Paper Assignment Information

Each student will develop and submit a research paper (with the body at least 12-20 full pages in length, double-spaced, using the college specifications for term papers) providing a substantive analysis on the future of one of the following topics, or a technological aspect of one of these topics:

Information Technology Management

Software Design & Programming

Database Design & Administration

Web Design & Development

Broadband Networks & Telecom Technology

Information Systems Security

The Future of AI in Organizational Applications

Ethics Issues in Information Systems

The Future of Broadcast TV & Radio

The Future of the Smart Phone

The Evolution of Wearable Technology

How IT can help reverse Global Warming

Your paper is to be about the future of your chosen area. So for example, you could choose the database design and administration topic, and focus on the evolution of this technology. You would be looking at the future of database technology, data centers, cloud computing, and the resource software that makes these things work. You are expected to state your opinion about the future of your chosen topic, and support it with evidence and logical analysis. Each student will submit their Term Paper during the last week of the class and will lead a brief discussion of the issues within the Term Paper.

The term paper should represent the highest degree of professionalism and quality. Your paper should follow the formatting and style guidelines specified by University College, including use of the Turabian publications manual for language use, citations, and basic formatting. It should include a full title page, abstract (200 words or less, which is longer than the college standard), introduction, body, conclusions, and reference list. More information about formatting and style can be found on the UCOL Format & Style Requirements page.
