A Research Essay in the context of this unit means a piece of work that asks you to investigate a subject, forming an understanding of it in the wider context of architectural ‘discourse’ – where it fits and what views of it are espoused by different voices and from different points of view – and then articulating your understanding, backed up with evidence from your research.
In this essay you are required to use diagrams, drawings and photographs (at least three of each) to illustrate your analysis.
Your essay MUST be written from a perspective that expresses your own critical evaluations.
Your submission must:
• be between 1700-2000 words in length
• use your own diagrams, drawings and photographs to illustrate your analysis,
• include at least three quotes from different reputable sources (minimum requirement for the number of sources consulted).
• If you are using web-based information (two sources maximum) in addition to other reputable texts/media (books, journal articles, films etc.) these MUST also be properly referenced
• include in-text references and reference list using Author-Date Chicago Referencing Style,
Topic 1:

Research Essay Marking Criteria:
Demonstrated understanding of the research topic.
Relevance and accuracy of facts in relation to the research topic.
Level of critical analysis and evaluation.
Clearly stated and logically developed arguments and use of supporting evidence (quotes).

Deeper Analysis— Choose 3 of the genres (Expository Writing, Proposal, Critique). Then write 300-400 words on each of those 3. Choose any 3 you wish—perhaps those that seem most commonly used in your field (architecture), that interest you the most, or that seem most important and significant to your field (architecture). Use examples of those kinds of writing form the field
GUIDELINES FOR FIELD TRIP PAPER
As part of the assignments for this course, each student must attend a culture event or a center of their choosing. Cultural event or center refers to a social gathering for festive purposes or center where culture is promoted. Examples include a street festival, certain concerts, museum exhibitions, plays, etc. Approval must be sought from the instructor via the form found in Week 2 content.
Please keep in mind that these should be proper and befitting a college level course. Attendance of a Shakespearean play or other theatrical work from a professional company serves the idea well. Attendance of a k-12 production of any sort does not. Attendance of a sporting event does not count; however, attendance of a sporting museum may count if approached correctly. A Pink Floyd would not count (even though I love them) but attendance of a Pink Floyd enhanced light show backed up by the Atlanta Philharmonic would. Think and choose wisely. If it seems even the slight bit questionable, choose something else.

For the Body of the Paper
Make the paper clear and easy to read. Grammar and spelling will count. Avoid the use of passive voice. You may use the first person (I), so avoid constructions such as “in the museum, I saw that …”
Critique the work or event, avoiding such phrases as “the piece is “pretty” or “interesting”. Describe, in specific detail, what makes the work appealing and stimulating. Use the new terminology learned in the readings.
You must attend the artwork or event in person. You may not write about works or events already viewed, attended, found on the internet or in books. If you use words from another author, you must either put quotes around them or use a paraphrase. In either case, you must cite where the information comes from. For example, do not copy information from a museum catalogue or a placard without noting the source in your paper.
CONTENT:
In these papers, you should begin by describing the event you at tended, including its location, and an overall summary. I want your intelligent opinions (critiques) of the art backed up with reasons, illustrations, and examples. In your introduction, you should have a key point that will tie all your specific examples together. For example, if you attend a sculpture exhibit, you could focus your paper around the use of texture in the pieces. Then your body paragraphs would include descriptions of specific examples.
In your body paragraphs you should choose two- or three-piece s that caught your attention and seem to best represent your point. The most important thing to remember here is to tie together the aesthetic elements with your feelings and thoughts about the piece(s). If you are describing the use of color in a painting, describe both what the colors are and how those particular colors contribute to your impression of the artwork. (This is only an example. You don’t have to discuss color usage if you critique a painting.)
Your summary should describe your overall impression of the event. Would you recommend this event to others? Why or why not? What is your evaluation of the event? Is there a way to improve it? Be sure to include analysis in this section.
See COURSE ASSIGNMENATS under PAPERS & GUIDELINES for full information.
