<\/p>\n

This Module continues the research you completed in Module 3 on professional associations and
\nscholarly journals in your discipline. Once you have completed the research below for Module 4, you
\nwill be ready to compose the Final Draft of your Discipline Awareness Project, sharing what you have
\ndiscovered about your discipline regarding\n<\/p>\n

professional associations,\n<\/p>\n

journals,\n<\/p>\n

the types of research methodology scholars in your discipline use,\n<\/p>\n

the issues currently being researched and written about by professors in your discipline at Mason, and\n<\/p>\n

how you can work with a disciplinementor,\n<\/p>\n

study abroad,\n<\/p>\n

or take advantage of student research and career opportunities in your discipline.\n<\/p>\n

Directions:\n<\/p>\n

I. To locate the information you will need to include in your Final Draft (in addition to what you
\nfound in Module 3 on associations and journals), follow these steps:\n<\/p>\n

1. Go to: www.gmu.edu> ACADEMICS>Schools and Colleges>click on the School or College that
\ncontains your discipline (program); for example, Marketing is in the School of Business.\n<\/p>\n

Once you have found the School or College of your discipline AND your program\u2019s own web page,
\nexplore the sites by clicking on links such as \u201cResearch,\u201d \u201cFaculty Research,\u201d \u201cGoals\/mission,\u201d etc. to
\nlocate and compile the following information about research in your discipline. You will need this
\ninformation for Essay # 2:\n<\/p>\n

A. the goal\/mission\/objectives of the School or College AND of your particular discipline\/major
\n(Accounting, Applied IT Security, Health Administration, ISOM, etc.). You will need to explore both the
\nSchool or College site AND your Program\u2019s site.\n<\/p>\n

B. the research currently (2012-2018) being conducted or published by THREE members of your
\ndiscipline. Take notes on the research methodology the faculty members are using\/used (case study,\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

clinical research, quantitative, qualitative, meta-analysis; operations research, etc. ).\n<\/p>\n

C. As you are taking notes on the three faculty members\u2019 research methodology and project, also record
\nthe name of the journal in which the faculty member\u2019s project\/paper was published. In some cases,
\nthe faculty member\u2019s research may have been presented at an association\u2019s conference.\n<\/p>\n

D. Once you have gathered the information above regarding the research of the faculty members in your
\ndiscipline, locate the following information, using either (or both) the School of College\u2019s web page or
\nyour discipline\u2019s web page:\n<\/p>\n

– Faculty MENTORS in your discipline \u2013record the names and email addresses of two.
\n– Opportunities to Study Abroad in your discipline \u2013 compose a brief description, including a contact\n<\/p>\n

person and email address.\n<\/p>\n

– Opportunities for internships, career fairs, and research with a faculty member \u2013compose a brief
\ndescription of each and contact information.\n<\/p>\n

NOTE: I have given you a basic path to use to help you locate the information you will need to compose
\nyour Final Draft; however, I encourage you to explore other links on the GMU site, the School\/College
\nsite, and on your discipline site. For example, if your discipline is in the School of Business, check out
\nthe Business BUZZ Blog http:\/\/business.gmu.edu\/blog\/buzz\/<\/a> link in the UndergraduateMajors link.\n<\/p>\n

In addition, you can also gather information about research in your discipline by exploring the
\nRESEARCH link http:\/\/research.gmu.edu\/<\/a> on the gmu.edu Home Page. There are five links beneath this
\ngeneral RESEARCH link that may help you find research conducted by faculty in your discipline.\n<\/p>\n

REMEMBER, the University frequently removes, revises, and re-locates links. If you click on a link I
\nhave included in this assignment, but you get an Error message, try using Mason\u2019s Search function to
\nlocate the information. Research takes time and patience.\n<\/p>\n

II. Final Draft \u2013 Discipline Awareness Project \u2013 What I Have Discovered about My Discipline {Use
\nthis as the title of your essay}\n<\/p>\n

Description: The purpose of this essay is to describe what you have learned about your discipline by
\ncompleting the assignments in Module 3-professional associations and scholarly journals AND in Module
\n4 – research methodology, research in your discipline, and research\/career opportunities. Your essay will
\ncomplete the Discipline Awareness project requirement. Submit ONLY your complete Final Draft. Do
\nNOT submit the notes you took as you completed the research for Module 4.\n<\/p>\n

Directions:
\nReview your notes and reflect on what you have discovered about your discipline\/major in the following\n<\/p>\n

areas:
\n1) professional associations,
\n2) journals,
\n3) the types of research methodology scholars in your discipline use,\n<\/p>\n

2\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3
\n4) the issues currently being researched and written about by professors in your discipline at Mason, and\n<\/p>\n

5) how you can work with a disciplinementor,
\n6) study abroad, or
\n7) take advantage of student research and career opportunities in your discipline.\n<\/p>\n

Next, compose a 1200-1500-word essay that describes your new awareness of your major\/discipline,
\norganizing it around the seven components above. Do NOT simply copy and paste what you wrote
\nfor Module 3 or your notes in Module 4.\n<\/p>\n

This is not an objective report; while it includes information on what you discovered, it is an
\nessay\/paper of reflection and analysis that has the characteristics of an essay\u2014an introduction that
\nends with a claim regarding your new awareness of your discipline; adequate supporting paragraphs
\nto support your claim, including what was valuable\/surprising\/disappointing about what you learned
\nabout the seven components; and a conclusion that tells me how you feel about your major now that you
\nhave a greater awareness of it AND what your next steps might be to explore the day-to-day routine of
\nsomeone working in your field.\n<\/p>\n

Follow either MLA or APA manuscript format. Since you will only be using links on the GMU
\nweb site, you do not need to have a Works Cited or References page, but you must use internal
\nattribution, such as, \u201cOn the Accounting Department web site, I discovered that there are two faculty
\nmembers currently researching tax fraud…\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Proofread carefully for diction (word choice), syntax (sentence structure) and mechanics (punctuation,
\nspelling, capitalization,etc.).\n<\/p>\n
