ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Research in the workplace solves a problem. Tasked with a problem in the workplace, you may be asked gather the information necessary to fully understand the issue at hand, solve that problem (or offer potential solutions), prove that your solutions are viable, and/or test your solution(s). Doing this work requires different types of research that go beyond simply querying a library database or using Google. You often will need to speak directly to target populations and audiences, and directly contact resources and experts in different professions and in the community. You also may need information in addition to or instead of scholarly resources. Local and national journalism may add context and perspective. Professional experts, government agencies, state and local authorities all may be relevant sources, as are individuals in target populations. Essentially, research in the workplace requires you to think critically and creatively about

• The type of information you need; and
• The best way to get that information.

Your job as a researcher is to address, explain, and/or solve a problem using the most relevant and applicable methods and resources. If a resource can supply information you need, then it is the right resource for the job.

It’s also important when thinking about a problem your researching to keep in mind that you probably aren’t the first person or organization to deal with this issue. Look at other organizations, groups, or communities negotiating the same or similar issue. Research how those groups describe and deal with the problem. The perspective of experience is invaluable to your work.

Assignment: Project 3

This project asks you to do workplace research into a local problem impacting USF or the surrounding community. Your goal for this project is to describe the problem in detail using as much information as you can gather from as many different sources as are useful. That means you are looking at research gathered by others (e.g., government agencies, non-profit organizations, professional and academic experts), but also you will gather your own data by contacting experts and asking impacted population for their perspective. You will produce a memo that reports your findings, giving readers a robust understanding of the problem you have researched.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

• Engage with a problem-based scenario similar to those found in the workplace
• Apply research skills appropriate for addressing a specific problem
• Integrate research into a project deliverable
• Practice professional and technical writing and editing skills
• Practice writing for a specific purpose and audience
• Produce a specific genre of professional discourse (informational report)

Selecting a Problem: Know Your Audience!

To complete this project, you will choose a local problem occurring at USF or in the community. Your audience for this project is the Rhetorical Roundhouse Network, my nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching nonviolence through martial arts programs in poor neighborhoods. Imagine you are trying to secure funding from my nonprofit in the form of a grant or you are simply trying to get my organization to donate resources and people-power to the problem you are researching. Broadly speaking, the Rhetorical Roundhouse Network is interested in helping reduce violence of all types. Take a moment to consider what this means–people in vulnerable positions like children, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, and people in marginalized groups experience violence in a variety of forms every day. Don’t simply limit your scope to overt forms of physical violence (domestic violence, child neglect, elder abuse, etc.). Broaden your scope to investigate forms of violence like repeated microaggressions in the workplace, sexist treatment in school or work can be a form of violence. Consider more contemporary forms of technological, algorithmic violence against the poor or people of color–you can interpret the idea in a number of different ways to fit a cause/problem that you feel passionate about and/or interested in.

Can you identify a form of violence that can be mitigated or reduced through your twin superpowers of engineering and effective communication?

You are free to choose whatever topic you like for project 3, so long as its a local problem. You can even choose a problem from the list below unrelated to the Rhetorical Roundhouse Network’s mission if you’d like. I will, however, be choosing my favorite 5 research summaries to be the topics/group leaders for project 4. This means that if you succeed in appealing to your audience, your topic will likely be chosen as one of the problems that a group will continue researching as we finish out the semester.

Sample Problems Related to Systemic “Violence”

• How do we best protect the homeless population against COVID-19?
• How can we better fund schools in low-income neighborhoods?
• How do we keep plastic and pollution out of the bay?
• How do we help decrease violent crime/police violence?

Unrelated Sample Problems from Previous Classes

• What is the optimal register layout for Starbuck’s at USF to reduce lines and wait time?
• What is the optimal speed limit for roads on the USF Tampa campus to reduce accidents and delays?
• Which brand of battery will best serve the needs of USF’s Digital Media Commons for their equipment that takes video/photographs underwater?
• Which internet browser performs the most efficiently for an organization with tens of thousands of users (such as USF)?
• Electric car charging stations at USF campuses

Once you have selected a problem, you will research the problem, to include the following topics:

• Background information: Put the problem in context. What does the audience need to know to understand why the problem is a problem?
• Explanation of the problem: Describe the problem in detail. What is happening?
• Causes of the problem: Describe the factors contributing to the problem’s occurrence. Why is the problem happening?
• Impacted Population: Describe the people most directly impacted by the problem. Who is the problem happening to?

To conduct your research you may wish to use any of the following methods and resources, or anything else that helps you explain the scope of your problem:

• Newspapers (local, university, national)
• Reports from government agencies, universities, and/or NGOs
• Scholarly research
• Facts and statistics compiled by government agencies and/or NGOs
• Interviews with experts and/or impacted individuals
• Surveys (social media makes doing surveys easy)

Documents to Turn In

Major Deliverable

• A report in memo format that describes your problem in detail using all the research you have conducted. The memo should have the following section headings:
  • Background Information
  • Explanation of the Problem
  • Causes of the Problem
  • Impacted Population
  • Works Cited

Supplemental Deliverables

• Research Plan: A memo that identifies the problem you have selected and your plans for researching it, including research methods and potential sources for each required topic listed above.
• Research Progress Report: An update that describes a) the research you’ve done to date; b) which topics that research applies to; c) what you have left to do before completing a draft

EXERCISE

Pick a topic that you think might work well for this assignment based on what you read above. Don’t worry it doesn’t have to be the topic you end up researching for Project 3 if you decide you want to change your mind. This is just a way of practicing writing a research plan.

A research plan is a strategy or methodology for how you are going to answer your research questions. In the case of project 3, you have four issues you need to address about your topic/main research question. These are listed as headings for you to use in your final memo.

Here you will submit a memo that identifies the problem you have selected, and outlines your plans for researching it, including research methods and potential sources for each required headings of your final deliverable (see below).

Research Summary Headings

• Background Information
• Explanation of the Problem
• Causes of the Problem
• Impacted Population
