The assignments in this course are designed around developing an integrative paper that takes students step-by-step through the research design process. Each week, a section of the paper is completed, leading to the final paper, due at the end of Week 8. The class must work in teams during Week 5 for the purpose of peer-reviewing work submitted in Week 4. The Final Integrative Paper must be 11 to 19 pages, excluding the title page, abstract, and references. The breakdown of the word count is shown below.
This will be an APA-formatted paper that includes the following:
• Title page
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Statement of the problem
• Purpose of the study
• Research questions
• History of the policy or legislation
• Definition of terms
• Literature review
• Analysis
• Recommendations and conclusions
• References
