Three documents below, available to download, should give you some guidance for the third part of the class project:

1.
Continuing with the previous student's example paper, the model part 3 is posted here. This copy is annotated — I've highlighted some of the main parts your paper must include, which we'll elaborate on in section:
    — Statement of your research questions
    — Explanation of why these questions are important, and who else has
        been asking them (and how)
    — What data will answer your questions
    — How you intend to obtain that data

2. Given that I recently wrote a research proposal myself, I'm posting it here, too. Note the way this is formatted, with labels for each paragraph ("research question," "hypothesis," "related work," etc.); I am perfectly fine with you utilizing this format, if it makes it easier to get your head around the components of a research proposal. (You would not need to include "theoretical contributions" or "risks," unless you had them ready in mind.)

3. Lastly, here is the short list of research methods compiled by Prof. Goldfarb:

I also recommend these books, excellent guides to conceiving of and conducting communication research:

— Rubin, R.B., Rubin, A.M., Haridakis, P.M., & Piele, L.J. (2010). Communication Research: Strategies and Sources. Boston: Wadsworth
— Babbie, E. (2007). The Practice of Social Research. Boston: Wadsworth

Geisel has several copies of the Babbie and a couple copies of the Rubin, all available..

    I'll utilize this space to:
    • Post audio/visual material relevant to lectures and section meetings.
    • Present extra material and links related to class discussions.
    • Provide a forum for discussion beyond the scheduled classes.
