- Write about a research topic that you are interested in. Explain why you are interested in this topic.
- Develop three research questions that would help you explore your research topic. List these three research questions out in your initial post.
- For each of your three research questions, clearly label each of the independent variables and dependent variables included in your research questions. Also, keep in mind that a research question is: clear, focused, concise, complex, arguable
- Provide a clear and concise hypothesis for each research question. What do you predict will be the relationship between your variables?
- Would a quantitative or qualitative data analysis answer your research question? Why did you pick this type of data analysis? What would a quantitative data analysis tell you about your research questions that you would not likely learn from a qualitative data analysis and vice versa?
