Before completing this assignment, preview the Week 8 Summative Assessment: Research Study Proposal: Part D and the Week 1 Discussion – Research Study Proposal (Non-Graded).
An effective research study begins with a clear research proposal. This week you will determine the topic you wish to research, explain why you wish to research it, and establish a preliminary plan for how you will conduct that research. While your plans may change somewhat, planning your course of action now will provide you with structure as you modify and adjust your subject matter.
