This part consists of:
•A brief description of exploratory work in an area of interest
•A bibliography of about 10 items.

You don’t need to fully read the items on the bibliography for this part, but be familiar with them. It is suggested that you read the abstract (if there is one), the introduction, as well as the conclusion. Peruse the article or the book. The ideal bibliographical entry is specific to your topic, not general. There is no required proportion of books vs articles: the main point is to find references, and to see what is available.
Projects MUST be related to the course material. Here are some possible projects (not exhaustive):

A term paper

The idea of this project is for you to follow your interests and express the things you have found and researched in a format that interests you or that works with your long-term career goals. If you want to become a scholar, it’s a good idea to do the term paper (but not necessarily — you might want to try something different). If you are an aspiring marketing guru, why not try the video option or the blog as this will give you valuable skills in presentation and articulation of complex ideas. If you like summarizing and synthesizing, why not do book and/or article and/or film reviews. The list goes on. This is a good opportunity to express your personal interests.
It is expected that students do their own reading and outside investigations in order to explore explore their research area. Bear in mind that a minimum of 15 bibliographical entries must be included in the final part of the project. Students are allowed to consult encyclopedias like wikipedia, but these are in the common domain and provide information that is generally known. For instance, if there is a fact in a wikipedia article, that fact is usually referenced, and that reference is to be a peerreviewed source or a generally reliable source of information. WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A SOURCE OF INFORMATION, its articles use sources and cite them.

1. Term-paper option:
Write a three-paragraph description of the area of interest and sources found. Explain how you will go about your research project: what you intend on examining, the big question you are trying to answer, and how you will attempt to answer it.

This part consists of:
•A developed project along the lines below
•A bibliography of about 15 items.

The ideal bibliographical entry is specific to your topic, not general. There is no required proportion of books vs articles: the main point is to find references, and to see what is available.
