During the past few weeks, you have considered the various elements of the research project. Compile all of the sections of your research strategy ideas from Week 3. Retrieve your survey results this week to complete your final project in Week 5.

The following sections (700 words or 1-2 slides total) should be added to your research project analysis:

• Your ethical considerations
• Your sample population
• Your data analysis summary
• Your measurement strategy

Prepared the final copy and refine any sections of the final research plan. Add a section of 500–600 words and 1-2 slides about how you interpreted the data from your survey or questionnaire Add this section at the end of your research project.

Here are the comments from my instructor :

Strengths: You wrote a fairly good narrative about your proposed research including a description of the topic, problem statement, and research strategy; however you have a lot of text copied from other sources without any insight from you.

Opportunities for improvement: You have a significant amount of material that are direct quotes that are not in quotation marks. Direct quotations require quotation marks around any material you are citing word for word. Your citations need to follow APA format: (Author, Year) with a period at the end. Citations for a direct quote should be in APA format: (Author, Year, Page) with a period at the end. For online resources you can list the paragraph number or the section.

Here is a website which may help you understand the requirements:

Make sure that you are citing your sources throughout your paper and using outside research to support each of your arguments. I recommend that students should not have entire paragraphs or sections which are only material from other sources. You should work citations into the presentation of your own ideas and concepts, and use the citations to support your main points.
