To become more familiar with one of your major disciplines by understanding all aspects of the discipline.
The Project:Click here for more on this paper.......
The research is on “Information Systems” topic as a Discipline!!
You must cite the sources that you use for the project; you can pick either MLA or APA style (for help with citation, don’t forget that you can contact the Writing Center or visit your local library for MLA/APA Style Guides).
Remember that MLA and APA documentation cover three (3) areas:
1. Information from sources may be used two ways: first, word-for-word information (a source's words and ideas) must be indicated as such by the use of quotation marks and a parenthetical citation--this is known as a direct quotation; second, information from a source that you write in your own words (a source's ideas, but your words) must be indicated as such by the use of a parenthetical citation--this is known as a paraphrase. Using directly quoted material without quotation marks/parenthetical citation or paraphrasing too closely to the source's original wording/not using a parenthetical citation is PLAGIARISMClick here for more on this paper.......
2. All information used from a source must be documented with parenthetical citations in the worksheet itself.
3. All the sources you used in the worksheet must have complete source information listed in thebibliography (refer to the MLA Guide or the APA Guide for help on constructing these citations). A Bibliography page is more than just a website's URL--make sure you are look up how to cite your sources and you do so correctly!
If your worksheet does not use all three of these parts of documentation, then it is not properly documented,WHICH MEANS YOU'VE PLAGIARIZED.
In addition, do not use quotations for the bulk of your answers; the point of this assignment is for you to explain the information systems topic using your own words, not to copy and paste answers from a source.

Guidelines for Researching Disciplines Worksheet
This sheet will explain what each section is and what you should

page once you are finished)

What is the object(s) of
study? What is this discipline about?

dictionary!

address?
