Senior Seminar Early Stage Revision

Paragraph 1

Remove the phrases in this paragraph related to economic stability. Those suggest a possible answer and at this point in the project we do not know or include an answer.

The objective of this section is to describe the outcome to be explained.

Paragraph 2

Remove the final five sentences that discuss economic conditions and economic focused explanations. This paragraph needs simply to provide some background on the two candidates.

Paragraph 3

Will you be studying 2012? If not, then exclude it. If so, then you need a paragraph detailing the election outcome in similar manner to the 2008 election.

The last two sentences focus on the role of economic conditions as the answer. Omit those sentences.

Relevance paragraph

This one is absent. Here we focus on the relevance of our research question, meaning why it is a valuable exercise to answer our question. What is the payoff from answering the RQ? You need to include a paragraph explaining why it is important to explore the research question related to why Obama won Indiana.

Dependent variable

This section can be one paragraph. Electoral performance seems to be your dependent variable. Obamas victory is one variance of that outcome.

In the second paragraph, the winner needs to receive the largest percentage of the vote. A greater percentage than his opponent may not be correct if there is more than one opponent.

We do not include data from our specific case study in the dependent variable section. The third paragraph can be omitted.

Format

Use an individuals first name only on first mention of the individual.

Requirements: Until it meets the requirements
