Hurricane Katrina (Case Study)<\/p>\n
Write 20 pages double spaced exclusive of title and reference pages (Case Study) on the topic: Hurricane Katrina using the attached template.<\/p>\n
Abstract
\n[Write this last. In this section, give a maximum 250-word overview of the entire research project. Be sure to include brief descriptions of the problem, methodology,<\/p>\n
analysis, conclusions, and recommendations. Do not include any cited material or citations in the abstract.]
\nProblem Statement
\n\t[Explain your project in detail. What happened? Why is the study of it important to the field of emergency management? What do you expect to be the value of<\/p>\n
studying your event? This section should probably be about two pages long.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nThe Event
\n\t[Tell the story of your disaster in detail. Tell it in chronological order. Make it a compelling narrative. This is where the reader\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds attention is captivated,<\/p>\n
and in doing so, the credibility and importance of the work you\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdre about to accomplish is established. This section should probably be seven \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ten pages in length in<\/p>\n
order to do the complexity of your event justice.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nMethodology
\nMethodology
\n\t[This is where you establish the academic validity of your work. Cite and quote heavily from Yin in this section. Talk about what you learned from the weekly<\/p>\n
assignments\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddesign criteria, boundaries, single case design, design validity, evidence collection, evidence analysis, etc. This section should be no less than two<\/p>\n
pages and may require five or so.]
\nData Collection and Analysis<\/p>\n
\t[This is where you will explain what data you will collect, where you will get it, and how you will analyze it. This section should probably run two pages or<\/p>\n
so.]<\/p>\n
Research Questions and Hypotheses<\/p>\n
\t[Qualitative research typically answers research questions, whereas quantitative research seeks to prove or disprove hypotheses. If you do not require a<\/p>\n
hypothesis for your project, that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds fine. Write out three or four research questions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdno more–that your analysis will answer.]
\nResearch Questions.
\nHypotheses.
\nLiterature Review<\/p>\n
\t[In week four, you will begin developing an annotated bibliography on your topic, which you will provide in Appendix A. You will gather as many sources as you<\/p>\n
feel will provide a solid data set with which to analyze your event. You\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdll discuss the bibliography in the forums, and your classmates may offer suggestions for<\/p>\n
additional resources. Once you feel you have a complete picture of your event, write a summary literature review for this section. Hit the highlights of what you<\/p>\n
learned from the various sources. Identify shortfalls in the knowledge that your project may help fill in. This section should probably run about two pages.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nDiscussion\/Analysis
\n\t[This is where you apply the methodology to the evidence. Was the disaster inevitable? Was it ironic that the event happened at all? Were there warnings? How<\/p>\n
was the preparation for the potential disaster handled? Did mitigation occur? When the disaster struck, what was the quality of the response? Was there a chain of<\/p>\n
authority? How well did the disaster response structure, if any, function? Did recovery and restoration occur at an adequate level? Were any lessons learned? How did<\/p>\n
the theory of how disasters happen apply to this event? These are examples of the types of questions you will seek to answer in your analysis. This section should<\/p>\n
probably run five \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ten pages in order to be thorough.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nConclusions and Recommendations
\nConclusions
\n\t[In the final analysis, what do you conclude? Did things go as well as they could have? Why or why not? Be sure to readdress your research questions in this<\/p>\n
section and provide the answers that were developed by doing the research. Do not cite or quote in this section\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall words should be your words. This section should<\/p>\n
probably be one or two pages in length to make sure everything was captured.]
\nRecommendations
\n\t[In many ways, this is the most important section of the paper. What are we to learn\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand what are we to do\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwith respect to what you studied that will improve<\/p>\n
emergency management theory and operations? Be specific and direct. Again, do not cite or quote in this section. These are your recommendations.]<\/p>\n
References
\n\t[Include a reference entry for all material used to develop the project in this section. Use proper APA formatting. Present the reference entries in<\/p>\n
alphabetical order by author\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds last name.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nAppendix A: Annotated Bibliography
\n\t[You will work on the bibliography once your project is selected and approved, beginning approximately in week four. This is where you will provide a somewhat<\/p>\n
detailed description of the resources you found to use as data and evidence for your project. Begin by introducing the piece of literature by author, date and title.<\/p>\n
Give a brief synopsis of the article. Evaluate the author\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds work and say what value the work will likely be to your research. Then move on to the next piece of<\/p>\n
literature. You must have no less than eight resources for your project, at least half of which must be scholarly work, government reports, or other official<\/p>\n
documents. More is better\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyou\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdre working to become an expert on your topic.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd
\nAppendix B: Charts, graphs, figures, etc.
\n\t[Final note: Proofread your paper. There should be no red or green underlines outside of the reference section. There should be no blue text. The centered<\/p>\n
headings should be 14-pitch, and all other headings and text should be 12-pitch. Times New Roman should be the only font. The title should not be \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTitle\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. The running<\/p>\n
heads should not say \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdRUNNING HEAD\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. The final product should be a first-rate presentation that you\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdre very proud of.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
