Question: Study Applications
For your Study Applications assignment, you will apply learnings from the course as well as personal and professional ethics and behaviors.

To create your Study Applications, address the questions that follow below. Use research findings reported in the articles you reported in u07a1, along with other sources, such as previous readings from the course, the textbook, and additional Capella library sources to support and add depth to your answers. Your references should appear at the end of the paper. The entire paper must be in current APA style and format.
