Question 1: Clearly and succinctly identify the issue you are going to investigate: What is the problem? Where and when does the problem occur? Over what time frame does it occur? How do you know it is a problem? - You might use an ethical framework to establish this.

Question 2: Identify the impacts of the problem: Who or what does this problem affect? What is the size, scope, or magnitude of these effects? Why is it important to fix this problem? What will happen until the problem is fixed?

Question 3: Give readers a reason to care: Why is this particular problem important for society at large? Why should computer scientists care?

Question 4: Give the reader some details on the history and background on the problem: Is this a new or old problem? What are its causes? Where does it come from? Have others attempted to solve the problem? Why have they failed or why were previous strategies insufficient?

Question 5: Include a short reflection about where you are in the process of working towards proposing some kind of tactic, strategy, or response to the problem: What is your current opinion about how computer scientists should respond to this problem? What do you think should be done? (This may change later, but you should be working towards being able to propose some kind of action in response to the problem by the end of the term.)

Question 6: Include a research plan: Where and how is your knowledge limited? What do you need to learn about in order to make a compelling argument about what this problem is and how it should be addressed?
