Please remember to state the
Research Question specifically at the beginning of the paper

Guidelines for students
collecting primary data:

Students should include the exact
data collection instrument (survey that they plan to use).

An introduction should be
provided to describe to the respondent the purpose and justification for their
participation (see text for additional details)

A defense should be provided
for the instrument. Why are these specific questions being asked? This
justification should certainly tie back to previous studies done on this topic
in the literature.

If you are using different
questions, explain why

How do you intend to minimize
non-response error? sample frame error? non-random error? What are some other
interesting facets of your data collection methodology that you can share?

Guidelines for students using
secondary data:

The following questions must be fully addressed if you plan to use secondary
data:

The use of secondary data must
be defended:

Why did you select this specific
data source?

What is the source of the data
and is that source credible?

Who collected this data?

For what purpose?

How old is the data?

What concerns do you have about
using this data?

Is there potential sample frame
error inherent with the use of this data source for your research question? why
or why not?

How do you plan to assess the
validity of this data?

Additionally, students should include an actual sample of the
secondary data that they plan to use in the paper
