Research Paper Assignment: Prepare a research paper on a relevant topic in Satellite Communications. Itspurpose is to give the student an opportunity to bring the information and concepts of the courseto bear on a topic, issue, or project with which he or she is concerned. Research papers mustdemonstrate graduate-level work, including writing ability. The test of a good paper is, "Are itsconclusions compelling as judged by their significance and supporting arguments?"Basic indicators of competency include:Understanding the full range of basic concepts covered in the course and how they apply tospecific situations responding to the essential points of all course assignments presenting clear,reasoned, and well-organized responses using correct grammar, spelling, and so on for all writtenassignments, and especially for out-of-class writing as relevant, making professional-quality oralpresentations, using graphics effectively, and making substantial use of databases, or otherpresentation materials meeting deadlines for assignments following the style set forth in thePublications Manual of the American Psychological Association. You could lose up to 2 lettergrades for non-APA compliant formats.The grade of “A” is given only when a substantial original contribution to the subject matter isdemonstrated. Only students who fully meet this standard and demonstrate exceptionalcomprehension and application of the course subject matter merit an "A." Students who earn an"A" clearly have mastered and are fluent in the subject matter. Indicators of exceptionalperformance include:• Analysis that follows a cogent line of reasoning• Analysis that evaluates alternative solutions or reasoning• Consistently apply application of concepts and reasoning to data and situations;• Analysis that recognizes connections across a range of concepts that draws appropriateimplications and conclusions, and exhibits novelty and creativity of ideas or representsconceptual advances on what is taught.Type of Paper:The paper should examine a topical area relating to the some area of SatelliteCommunications. Purely technical papers are unacceptable and will be downgradedaccordingly. The paper should address technical, economic, regulatory, policy andoperational use of the Internet/Telecommunication topic that you are researching.A. At a minimum the paper should include one case study / practical example and more ofthese are helpful.B. The paper must state a thesis and, based on the research, undertake to prove or disprovethat thesis.C. The paper should review the recent literature (e.g., the last five years), distill thefundamental issues, discuss various solutions to the issues raised, identify trends, andformulate the student's own position. An adequate literature search is based primarily onacademic journals (e.g., Federal Communications Law Journal, IEEE Journals),secondarily on professional journals (e.g., Journal of Systems Management), and lastly onbooks and textbooks and online sources.D. At least eight (8) or more recent references (2010 or later) should be cited. In-textcitations (APA Style) are also required for any referenced material.Length and Style. The paper should have a body of 16 to 24 pages. Cover pages,table –of -contents, abstract/executive summary, charts, graphics, tables,appendices and references do not count toward length minimum. The paper must beprepared in accordance with Appendix A of APA 6th edition. ISBN 97814338056152nd edition.The paper must include an abstract or an executive summary, which will be posted for all students toread at the end of week 4. All Research papers will be submitted to Turnitin Database to determine ifall references are cited properly.Topics:The topics can be anything related to satellite communications. Some examples are listed below• Latest advancements in Satellite Communication Space Weather Next Generation Satellites Satellite Security Reusable Satellites Military Applications of SatellitesOther topics that are relevant to satellite communication/technology are also possible with priorapproval from the instructorPlease pick a topic that interests you. It is much more exciting to read a paper in which the author isexcited and enthusiastic. The excitement and enthusiasm frequently show through the paper. If youdo not care about the topic, why should your reader?Deliverables:• Session 4: Submit Outline and Abstract; submit your assignment in MS Word or pdf (preferred)format through your assignment folder for approval (see sample below)• Session 11: Finalized Research Paper; submit your assignment in MS Word or pdf (preferred)format through your assignment folder and Turnitin (see Turnitin instruction below).
