Research Paper Proposal Assignment: Technology and College Students
Research Paper Proposal Assignment: In 2 to 3 pages, explain to me the following: • What is the topic you are focusing on? • So far, what have you read about your topic and from where? What do you know? Here, you are explaining to me your understanding of a conversation surrounding your topic. • What is the problem inherent in the topic? Do you anticipate that there will be a solution to this problem? • Is this a national issue or a global or human issue? • Who are the players? Who is affected by this issue and is it positive or negative? What are the larger implications for the future? • Why should anyone care about this topic? • Why are you interested in it? • What will you argue or propose? If you propose a solution, how or why do you think it will work? ***It is possible once you’ve completed further research that a better solution to your problem reveals itself. Or, you may change your position — from negative to positive or positive to negative — on your topic. That’s okay. That’s part of the process. It is better to change your approach, than to try to argue something you can’t fully support.

In recent years, technology has become an integral part of our lives. Technology has reshaped almost every aspect of our lives from the way we communicate up to the way we learn.

The introduction of technology in learning institutions have had an immersive impact on students learning how to type before writing. Learning institutions had to accept technology in order to meet the demands of the teachers and scholars (Islim and Cagiltay, 5559). Technology has replaced textbooks with eBooks. Unlike encyclopedias, eBooks are easily accessible which reduces the time spent searching for a specific piece of information. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the impact of technology on college students in our learning institutions. In this essay, our primary focus will be on social media and academic life.
Google and other search engines have changed the way students conduct their research by availing a lot of information within just a short period. In a certain way, the availability of data on the internet has improved how students conduct their research. However, it also changed the way students complete the assigned tasks and the integrity involved in them while doing the assignments. When Google did not have a lot of information on the internet, students went a more complicated way than it is today to cheat in an online assessment. Online cheating has led to a global scenario where academic integrity is gradually fading away in college students as they continue the practice. According to a study done by the Boston Globe, 75% of students admitted that they cheated in an online assessment as soon as technology started its application in colleges (Dye 10). The study has remained constant at that figure showing that the disease is continuously increasing instead of reducing.
