The midterm project is a paper of three or more full pages, word count at least 1000. which thoughtfully and critically analyzes the context and content of an outside text in relation to a critical aspect, controversy, or “crime” of art which we have discussed in class.

• Papers less than three full pages will be marked as incomplete.
• The PowerPoint for the Midterm Project in the Course Documents module has a list of themes of topics which we have explored in class.

An outside text can be a literary, visual, or audio text. It can be a novel, book of poems, comic book, art book, film, television show, artistic performance or a sculpture, painting, or other fine art. The text could also be a song, music video, or music album. This list is not exhaustive. An outside text is not a text which we have previously discussed in class.

Midterm Project Specifications:

• Your project will be three or more full pages, formatted in Times New Roman (or another variable-width serif font), double-spaced, and have 1 inch margins.
• Your project will use MLA citations and cite any outside texts in a Works Cited page at the end of the paper.
• Your project will be submitted on Canvas as a Word or PDF document.
• Your midterm project is due by the beginning of class on Tuesday, February 11th Thursday, February 13th.

What a Satisfactory Project Will Do:

• Your project will successfully analyze a primary outside text in relation to one or more relevant ideas, themes, or topics from our class. This analysis will be supported by relevant textual details and a close reading of your primary outside text (reading of a poem, chapter, movie scene, excerpts from a song or music video, and so on) and by relevant contextual details (historical or social context, publication, performance, or release history, public reception, etc)
• You can bring in texts and materials which we have discussed in class which help you establish your topic and discuss your outside text , but you do not need to closely read them or analyze them. The focus of this paper should be on your primary outside text.
• You are welcome, but are not required, to bring in any secondary outside texts that help you discuss the reception of your text, contextualizes within larger social or cultural discourse, or otherwise establishes what you see as the text challenging something in our society or our aesthetic categories in a way which connects to the themes we’ve talked about in our class.
• All outside texts, both primary and secondary, must be cited at the end of the paper in a Works Cited page.

What an Above Satisfactory Paper Will Do:

In addition to all of the above, an above satisfactory paper will not only successfully analyze how the primary text relates to one or more ideas, themes, or topics from our class, but will also go beyond this to complicate, challenge, or reassess our understanding of that topic or theme.

Example: The Sphere, a bronze globe statue symbolizing world peace through world trade is one of only two art pieces that remained after the Twin Towers were destroyed on September 11, 2001. The German artist Fitz Koenig had originally meant for the statue to symbolize world peace and unity, but after that horrendous day it quickly became something so much more. It became the common symbol of hope, resolve, endurance, and beauty for the people of New York. My paper will evaluate the acceptance and idealization of The Sphere, a sculpture that questions concerning the roles of beauty and death in western art.

This assignment is worth 200 points.

please use the intro and methods section you used previously. This is a huge chunk of my grade I have to pass. There can be no APA formatting errors or I will fail. Organization is key.

Please read the information below carefully and review the attached rubric (below).

• The final proposal paper integrates all of your completed and edited sections:

1) Introduction, 2) Method, and 3) Results.

• It will also allow you to synthesize your interpretation of those findings in a Discussion. This is the time to respond to the feedback you received each week, correct any errors, and integrate all sections of your paper.

• Check all instructor and CA feedback, make the necessary edits, and integrate into the Final Proposal.
• Do NOT just copy/paste all sections into the Final proposal.

• The final paper will include a Title page, Abstract, Discussion, and Reference page.
• Follow the exact guidelines for writing an Abstract.
• The Abstract comes after the Title page but before the main portion of your paper. It serves as a summary/overview/synopsis of your paper.

Abstract

• Contains at least 150 words, but no more than 250 words
• Is a summary of your research written in a very concise manner.
• Includes complete sentences concisely describing your work that summarizes your hypothesis, methods, results, analysis, as well as any limitations discovered in your study.
• Is placed on its own page after the Title page and before the Introduction.

The ABSTRACT includes the following information:

• Problem statement: What problem are you trying to solve?
• Motivation: Why would your readers care about the problem and the results? This section needs to note the importance of your work, any difficulty in studying the area, and the impact of your intended work with this the population.
• Approach: How will you go about solving the problem? What important variables will you control or measure?
• Results: What would you expect as results? Since your paper is a proposal, you will note the “expected” results.
• Conclusions: What are the implications of your answer? Can your information impact the scientific literature? Why or why not? Are your results general, generalizable, or specific to only one specific case?

→ Review the articles that you read for this proposal as well as the authors’ abstracts for additional examples.

Discussion:

• Begin with brief reasons for reading your study.
• What did you study? Why?
• What is your hypothesis? Was it supported by your “intended” measurements?
• Why or why not?
• Provide a “general” interpretation of our results, support for your conclusions, and why they are important.
• Remind the reader what you found and interpret its significance.
• The section will help to make sense of your potential measurement data, so to speak.
• Describe any observable experiences or events that could account for your results.
• Summarize your design and procedures and emphasize the reasons why your design has proved to be successful.
• Note the reasons why your hypothesis might be incorrect. Could there be any possible explanations?
• Consider any other variables (i.e., confounding or third variables that were not included but could have contributed to your results.
• Summarize your conclusions relative to future work. By this part, I mean that I want you to frame this in the grand scheme of importance – why would anyone care? How should these results be used moving forward?
• How would your research add to existing research? Consider how your research could impact society.
• Discuss the limitations of your study – consider who you recruited, the measures you used, the procedures, etc.
• Review the feedback from throughout the course and think about design issues that you didn’t address and could have used.
• Note any recommendations for future research. If you were to re-design this project, what would you do differently?
