Write a 6-8 page (double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman or Arial font, one-inch margins all sides) research paper on any topic from this course or related to information systems. For example, if you are interesting in databases, your paper could explore one or more issues related to the development, implementation, and/or use of databases. You could also select something “Information Systemsrelated” to your major. For example, if you are an Accounting major, you could conduct research and report on the various accounting information systems. Your report must be completed using Microsoft Word and contain ONE embedded Excel spreadsheet (with related information of your choice), AND ONE embedded PowerPoint slide summarizing your paper as a cover page (not counted in page count). Your paper must be be submitted as ONE Word document (meaning the PowerPoint and Excel should be embedded in the document). Google how to do this! Citations must be used and must be linked to your References (Sources of Information) listed at the end of the report. MLA or APA are appropriate citation formats (examples available on Internet). Any included tables, figures, maps, or other images should be shown in appendices placed after the References.
