Assignment 5: Draft Proposal

Due date
Session 10 (April 25)

Content

As a group, write as complete a draft as possible of your research proposal.

  1. your research question and any necessary background information
  2. a brief discussion of related literature (at least one monograph and three journal articles) that inform your project’s conceptual framework
  3. choose one method discussed in this class, apply it in the context of your project, and provide a rationale for using the method in your project
  4. methods, data, and findings: what did you do and what did you learn so far?

You will share your draft with fellow students during session 10. This will be a chance to get valuable peer (as well as instructor) feedback as you finalize your proposal.
