My topic is upgrading the hardware and software in our network to prevent intrusions and vulnerabilities.
In this assignment, you will write a document requesting permission to conduct research in support of your topic choice for the final formal research-based persuasive report, assignment 5. This is a persuasive document that provides a detailed description of the issue, and how and why you want to research it. Its objectives are to:
Identify what work is to be done.
Explain why this work needs to be done.
Persuade the reader that the proposers (you) are qualified for the work, have a plausible plan and have the resources needed to complete the task.
What makes a good proposal? One attribute is appearance. A strong proposal has an attractive, professional, inviting appearance. In addition, the information should easy to access. A second attribute is substance. A strong proposal has a well-organized plan of attack. A strong proposal also has the specific details needed to sell your project.
Remember: A proposal is a persuasive document.
