Statement of Research Question

        The statement of research question and tentative thesis should be a relatively short (one paragraph to one page) statement of your intended paper topic.  The statement of research question should identify the organization you will be focusing on, and whether you will be examining the organization’s entire remit, or a specific aspect of what the organization does/tries to do.  It should also indicate a specific question that you plan to ask about the organization. Try to choose a to question that is focused enough that you can reasonably address in a 3,000-word paper.

       Once you have submitted your statement of research question, you will be expected to submit a final paper on the same question unless you submit a new statement, and have the new statement approved by the instructor.
