Abstract
The "Research Paper" is a classic assignment in many IT courses. We explore its pedagogical advantages and weaknesses, especially since most students have career goals in the workplace rather than in academia.

We conclude by conceptualizing a simulated internship which can re-situate a broad range of IT "Research Papers" into the workplace.
