Assignment 3 Research Proposal Final

Assignment 3

Here is where you will pull together your research proposal. You will combine your Assignments 1 and 2 (revised using the grading feedback you received on those assignments) and add Assignment 3 after the literature review. Use headings and subheadings to differentiate the sections, have one title page, one introduction for the paper (not one for each section/ prior assignments), one conclusion for the paper (not one for each section/ prior assignments), and one reference page at the end that combines all the references from all three assignments. In other words, make it one flowing paper as if you wrote it all as one continuous paper from start to finish.

Directions: For this assignment, do the following:

• Discuss what research method you would use to collect data to research your topic.
• Indicate and explain the method you will use to collect your data. For example, if you pick a survey, justify why this is the best method for your research.
• Discuss the sampling technique you would use to obtain your data.
• Discuss your research plan, describe your population (e.g., characteristics, locations, etc.), and how you will obtain your sample.
• Discuss your plan in depth. For example, if you use stratified random sampling, you must explain what this means, why its the best choice, etc.
• Use academic resources to explain your sampling choice.
• You need to detail the barriers or limitations to your research plan.
• Propose two policy implications related to your topic.
• Your conclusion is to be based on the work you have done in all three assignments (i.e., not be your unsupported opinion); use the literature you have cited throughout all three assignments to support your conclusion.

The paper will:

• Follow the APA 7th ed. style.
• Will not include any bullet points or numbered lists.
• Assignment 3’s section should be at least four pages long. The submitted assignment that combines Assignments 1, 2, and 3 should be at least 12 pages long, including Title and References pages that do not count towards the page-length requirement. So, you must have a Title page, 12 pages of content, and a References page.
• Not include any bullet points or numbered lists.
• Reflect college-level work in content, appearance, organization, grammar, and effort.
• Submitted as a Word document file type (i.e., .doc or .docx).
