Description

PROPOSAL – WEEK 2 (50 POINTS)

Create a proposal of approximately 700 words that references one academic scholarly source for the research project you intend to complete.

Be sure to adhere to APA style for in-text citation and final reference page. (No cover page is needed.) NR 391 Week 4 Course Project Milestone 2 Recent

Select a project from among those suggested on the Course Project page under Course Home or discuss a special topic with your professor.

Example Introduction/Thesis to a Student Paper:

It never ceases to amaze me that we pay so little attention to the greatest bulk of our intelligence—that is, the quality of thinking that helps us adapt, deal with stress, love, and live lives of fulfillment. Aristotle argued that educating the mind and not the heart is no education at all. For decades, educators have focused on cognitive skills because they are testable and, therefore, metrics can be applied to them.NR 391 Week 4 Course Project Milestone 2 Recent

This kind of education, testing, and then metrically interpreting results has governed American education for decades. And the results have been losses of creativity, imagination, courtesy, civic interest, and the ability to invent businesses that serve people and advance us as a society. Although measurable skills are important, they are not exclusively important, and in fact lose value when separated from an education in the heart, the spirit, and the abstract qualities that make students fully human and excellent participants in a healthy society.
