Study Notes
Concept Papers
- A concept paper is a summary document that provides an overview of a project, its justifications, and proposed implementation methods.
- It is submitted prior to a full project proposal.
- Concept papers help funding agencies quickly identify proposals likely to be disapproved, saving time and effort for both proponents and agencies.
Purpose of Concept Papers
- Establish the feasibility of a project.
- Generate interest among potential funding agencies.
- Obtain informal feedback on ideas before creating a full proposal.
- Serve as a preview of the envisioned improvements by the proponent.
- Address social issues by presenting solutions to tangible societal problems.
Explaining Concepts
- Three methods for explaining concepts: definition, explication, and clarification.
Defining Concepts
- Definition involves clarifying the meaning of a term by answering "What does it mean?".
- Informal Definition provides a brief explanation of the term, often using parentheses or simple phrases.
- Formal Definition classifies the term using a genus-differentia structure, explaining the term within a broader category and differentiating it from others within that category.
- Binomial Nomenclature: A formal naming system used for scientific classification, consisting of two words: genus (the broader taxonomic category) and species (the most specific category).
- Extended Definition provides a detailed explanation of a term, typically occupying at least one paragraph. It incorporates various patterns of development, including:
- Formal and informal definition
- Comparison and contrast
- Narration
- Description
- Classification
- Function analysis
- Process
- Analogy
- Cause and effect
Explication
- Explication involves interpreting and explaining sentences, verses, quotes, or passages from literary or academic works in a detailed way.
- Examples: Interpreting the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.
