Write a research report on Impact of Social Class on College Performance and Dropout Rates.

Reports are used to describe research findings, analyze those findings, and make recommendations. Research Reports triangulate research by including empirical research, online research, and print research. When writing a report, writers need to do more than present the facts. Writers also need to interpret their results and help readers understand the information they have collected. Research reports are designed to describe research methods, analyze findings, and make recommendations.

For this assignment, write a 4-5 page Research Report in which you explore the broad issue of "Diversity". The following SEVEN sections should be included in your Research Report along with the Works Cited and Appendixes:

Executive summary or abstract: summarizes the major sections of the report.

Introduction: defines a research question or problem and explains why it is important to the reader. The introduction clearly states the purpose and main point of the report, and providesbackground information on the topic.

Methods: describes how the research was carried out. Explain your methods step by step in a way that would allow your readers to replicate your research. Each major step will usually receive at least one paragraph of coverage. Explain how you did each step and why you did it that way.

Results/Findings: presents the results of the research objectively. Choose two to five most important findings/results from your research and describe what you found. Where possible, use graphics, such as charts, graphs, and tables, to present the data you've collected.
Discussion: analyzes the results and explains what they mean. Show how your results answer your research question. Sometimes this section can be merged with the previous section of Results/Findings.

Conclusion/Recommendations: restates the main point of the report and offers specific recommendations. Your goal is to leave your readers with a clear sense of what you discovered and what should be done about it.
