Research Paper

Unit III Paper Topic

In this course, you are asked to prepare a research paper on construction-related fall accidents. To get started on the research paper, it is best to begin to narrow down your topic, or the accident. You have two choices for this assignment. Complete only ONE of the following options.

Option One: At this point, if you are unsure about which accident to select, narrow it down to three accidents. Write two to three paragraphs and include each of the following:

ï‚· Briefly summarize the accident;

ï‚· Your initial thoughts about the cause of the accident; and

ï‚· Your initial thoughts about potential fall protection plan(s).

Option Two: If you are sure about your topic, prepare one to two pages of your initial thoughts about the accident. Include each of the following:

ï‚· Briefly summarize the accident;

ï‚· Your initial thoughts about the cause of the accident; and

ï‚· Your initial thoughts about potential fall protection plan(s).

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to select a topic (i.e., accident) for your Research Paper, and to begin thinking about how you will approach the rest of the paper.

Format your Paper Topic using APA style. Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism.
