I need to come up with a research proposal for a class i am taking.
Basically, the scenario is that i have 10 weeks and $10,000 from [url=http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/values-valeurs_eng.asp]NSERC[/url] to do some sort of project.
The project needs to be doable, and it needs to make sense. NSERC is a government group so whatever the project is it needs to benefit the greater good.
I was thinking something to do with improving traffic lights for colorblind people in my neighborhood or something. Thoughts?

Use the money to make a website where kids go to have other kids do their homework for them for no money.
You seem to need one amirite OP? :smug:
I'm not asking for people to do it for me, i just need inspiration and ideas.
ie. What are some things that annoy you when you're walking down the street, or driving a car?
I'm pretty sure that what idea you pick will influence your grade by tons, so, yeah, mcnab's right.

The idea doesn't really matter, the grade is based on how well you explain why the idea will be a good thing, as well as how well you convince the NSERC to use your idea.
It's a fake proposal, the reason i have to do it is to learn how to write proposals.
I just am out of ideas of what sort of things i can write about. I think the best idea so far is to replace traffic lights on my street with colorblind-friendly lights.
research into something that you study into and something that isn't impossible.

Retards on high beams !

lmao maybe i should write a proposal for this. a proposal that companies should stop hiring retards and letting them go on highbeams.
But the idea you use will influence how easy it is for you to defend it.

well obviously you need to pick a sensible idea or else it'll be hell trying to convince them why it's a good idea.
but even if a complete idiot picks a good topic he can still do a shit job defending it. and vice versa, a smart fellow could pick a bad idea and defend it very well to receive top marks.
i'm just brainstorming here, and brainstorming has nothing to do with actually writing my proposal. I'm just picking a topic.
I don't think you'll get a serious answer on Facepunch. Then again posting on Facepunch might mean you don't want a serious answer.
Doesn't matter, as long as our action changes the grade you get, you are getting the wrong grade, whether for better or worse.
Cold fusion.

your logic is completely flawed.
how is it cheating if i get people to help me brainstorm a topic for my paper? it's no different than asking my roommate's opinion. there is no note on this assignment saying you cannot ask for help with finding a topic for the paper.
that said, i'm going to write about colorblind-safe traffic lights because its easy enough.
Do a research about shit nuggets (or shit berries if you like). You know when shit sticks to your asshair. For example you could figure out what the critical length for an asshair is so that it is capable of evolving into a shit nugget. Also what kind of shit is most likely to create a shit nugget?
They don't say anything agaisn't travelling to the future and copying your future paper, but that would break the point of the assignment.
Your grade is there to evaluate your work, your work's difficulty changes with the topic of your choosing. By helping you pick a topic, we are making your work either harder or easier, making the grade you'll get will be unaccurate, but the people who will judge you won't know that.
Also, asking your roommate is just as bad.
