Research proposal
Each student will be required to complete the term project, which is a research proposal written in an APA Style. The project should have at least 8-10 pages of substance not counting the cover and reference page. Please include a Cover Page, an abstract and a list of references. The research proposal you write in this course will NOT be sent to the IRB for approval. This is because you will not be conducting actual research for the purpose of this class. You will, however, gain an insight as to how to write a research proposal.
Each student will be required to complete a research proposal, as the term project. The research proposal will include the following:
Unstructured interviews
Provide three example questions, one for each category of interviews(structured, semi-structured, or unstructured interview question), then explain why each question can be categorized as a structured, semi-structured, or unstructured interview question. Provide a short justification for each choice.
Research design
Students are required to make main posts (three to four paragraphs) that address the specific discussion and peer review posts (responses to his or her classmates’ posts that are two to three paragraphs each). All posts must utilize and cite material from the unit’s course information/readings, including complete internal citations and a reference list. Each post is worth 8 points.
What are substantive postings? Substantive postings include:
Responding to discussion questions as well as discourse between students related to subject matter within the course. This includes posting responses to others’ answers within a Discussion Area. A response may express agreement with or challenge to the point of view expressed, supported by references (citations) to the text or lecture.
Contributing to the discussion based upon course content, theory, or personal experiences, not simply personal opinion.
This unit students are required to make one main post in each of the discussion questions, with one peer review post in either question (3 total posts- 2 main and 1 peer).
INDICATE, BY NUMBER, WHICH QUESTION YOU ARE RESPONDING TO WHEN MAKING YOUR POSTS.
