In at least 600 words (about 2 pages), introduce your prospective study. Here, you must clearly identify what you will study: the exact problem or phenomena that needs to be examined. Also provide a good background to your study. Elaborate on the problem; define/describe it as a social issue. Answer the following questions: What exactly do you want to find out with your study? How would others benefit from the study? What else makes your idea for a study significant? Grading rubric: Thoroughness and Descriptiveness in Addressing Your Topic (10 points); Organization, Coherence, and Clarity (5 points)
FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT:
Here, you are a researcher proposing a scientific study to a broader audience, not writing a personal essay or a literature review “paper.” Thus…
Do not include personal experiences, feelings, or opinions. Be objective. Accordingly, do not discuss why this study is important to you. It must be important to the scientific community, and to the community/society.
Write formally, and properly. Edit multiple drafts. Avoid improper voice, slang, and colloquialisms. (E.g. don’t write “you” to mean “someone” or “anyone.” To be safe, just don’t write “you.”) Remember, this is an academic paper, not something like a letter, journal entry, message to your instructor, or a personal reflection essay.
Be sure to propose your own actual empirical research study, that would involve your own analysis of data. Do not propose something that would just involve looking up what you want to know, such as statistics or results of other studies.
Don’t go too far into your methodology, such as exact survey questions or sampling techniques. These will go into a separate section. (Remember, this is the first section of your proposal.)
Also, be sure to avoid “extraneous” wording or information. Make sure everything written provides the actual information called for by the assignment directions. For example, do not go into long descriptions of theories or other studies. (If you use them, only briefly mention them as needed to show the significance of your study).
A sample Introduction is attached here to give you ideas; yours does not need to be as long and detailed as this.
There is sample of how this assignment should look.
The other file is my research propsal, so this assignment goes with the topic talked about in the research propsal, so the topic needs to be the same.
