==Midterm assignment==
 +
For the midterm, you have several options. You should pick whichever aligns best with your needs and interests. These assignments should be in standard font (a normal font that looks like 12 point font), with single line spacing.
 +
 +
;Teaching statement:
 +
This is a document that you would submit for a teaching position, especially at a university. This would include an explanation of your teaching philosophy, teaching experience, and examples of how you would teach specific concepts or units.
 +
 +
;Research paper proposal:
 +
This can be a proposal for a paper that you would like to write for the final paper in this class, or in another course (which you could also submit for this class). This would include a draft of an abstract, an introduction, a literature review, and an outline or beginning of the body sections.
 +
 +
;Thesis research proposal:
 +
If you are in graduate school and are about to start a master's research project for your MA thesis, or especially a Ph.D. dissertation, you will first write a proposal for your thesis project. This should explain the research question and its importance, background on the issue, a lit review that examines and critiques past research, and an explanation of how you will conduct your research. You should also outline the types of results that you might expect from your research, and their implications or importance.
 +
 +
;CV and cover letter:
 +
This would be used for applying for academic and research positions, e.g, at a university or research institute. This would include positions like a regular tenure-track professor, non-tenure track teaching professor, lecturer or 강사, research professor, or lab researcher. You can project yourself a few years into the future and pretend that you have some relevant experience and achievements (as long as they are reasonable) to apply for a potential future job. The CV should be at least one full page, and the cover letter should be no more than one page.
 +
 +
;Report:
 +
If you are in a science, engineering, or business field and work on research projects, lab projects, or business projects, you can write a report about your project. Your report should identify the specific problem or challenge that you worked on, some background on the topic, a detailed explanation of the steps undertaken, the results, and their implications.
 +
 +
;Statement of purpose (SOP):
 +
If you plan to apply for a graduate school, i.e., a master's and/or Ph.D. program, you need to submit an SOP. You can write an SOP for a specific graduate program that you are actually planning to apply to, or that you might like to apply to. It should be about 800-1000 words (unless you are applying to a department that specifies a different length requirement). 
 +
 +
;Research plan / statement:
 +
If you apply for a regular professor position, you will probably submit a document of at least two pages that detail your specific research interests and plans, along with a general timeline for your research projects. 
 +
 +
;Grant proposal:
 +
This is like a research proposal, but it is written to an entity that provides research grants, and this proposal is intended to show the value of your research and why you need money. In addition to the elements of a research proposal, you would need to provide strong justification for the value, importance, or necessity of your research, likely or expected results, and their implications and importance. You would also need to provide a timeline for the project, and a reasonably detailed budget for the amount of money that you are reqeusting.

Prof. Kent Lee

Dept. English Language & Literature, Pukyong National University

Time: M/W periods 1-3 (two sections)

Mailbox: #1027

Office & office hours: by appointment

Course syllabus

This website will go along with my syllabus and materials in our LMS for this course, as well as materials that supplement my course book.

Here are some links and older lecture videos, in case you need to review. Click on the 'Expand' applet on the right to see or collapse past assignments and materials.


2 Midterm assignment

For the midterm, you have several options. You should pick whichever aligns best with your needs and interests. These assignments should be in standard font (a normal font that looks like 12 point font), with single line spacing.

Teaching statement

This is a document that you would submit for a teaching position, especially at a university. This would include an explanation of your teaching philosophy, teaching experience, and examples of how you would teach specific concepts or units.

Research paper proposal

This can be a proposal for a paper that you would like to write for the final paper in this class, or in another course (which you could also submit for this class). This would include a draft of an abstract, an introduction, a literature review, and an outline or beginning of the body sections.

Thesis research proposal

If you are in graduate school and are about to start a master's research project for your MA thesis, or especially a Ph.D. dissertation, you will first write a proposal for your thesis project. This should explain the research question and its importance, background on the issue, a lit review that examines and critiques past research, and an explanation of how you will conduct your research. You should also outline the types of results that you might expect from your research, and their implications or importance.

CV and cover letter

This would be used for applying for academic and research positions, e.g, at a university or research institute. This would include positions like a regular tenure-track professor, non-tenure track teaching professor, lecturer or 강사, research professor, or lab researcher. You can project yourself a few years into the future and pretend that you have some relevant experience and achievements (as long as they are reasonable) to apply for a potential future job. The CV should be at least one full page, and the cover letter should be no more than one page.

Report

If you are in a science, engineering, or business field and work on research projects, lab projects, or business projects, you can write a report about your project. Your report should identify the specific problem or challenge that you worked on, some background on the topic, a detailed explanation of the steps undertaken, the results, and their implications.

Statement of purpose (SOP)

If you plan to apply for a graduate school, i.e., a master's and/or Ph.D. program, you need to submit an SOP. You can write an SOP for a specific graduate program that you are actually planning to apply to, or that you might like to apply to. It should be about 800-1000 words (unless you are applying to a department that specifies a different length requirement).

Research plan / statement

If you apply for a regular professor position, you will probably submit a document of at least two pages that detail your specific research interests and plans, along with a general timeline for your research projects.

Grant proposal

This is like a research proposal, but it is written to an entity that provides research grants, and this proposal is intended to show the value of your research and why you need money. In addition to the elements of a research proposal, you would need to provide strong justification for the value, importance, or necessity of your research, likely or expected results, and their implications and importance. You would also need to provide a timeline for the project, and a reasonably detailed budget for the amount of money that you are reqeusting.


2.1 Final essay / project

This should be a full length research paper or essay of an academic or scholarly nature. This counts as the final essay for the course, due at the end of Week 15. For this, you will have several options:

  • Write a full length paper based on a previous assignment: the proposal assignment, the midterm paper, the genre analysis paper, or other assignments. (Note: Some of the options, like a teaching or research statement, won't translate well to a final paper.)
  • Take a major paper that you are working on in another course, and use it to fullfil the final paper requirement in this course. (Aren't I nice? Yes.)


Length: Preferably, at least 3 full pages, double-spaced (not counting references, graphs, tables, etc.), though this may vary according to the expectations of papers in your course or major. Grading criteria: See the course booklet appendix for grading criteria for major writing assignments. Due date: TBA (to be announced), via the LMS
