Each Portfolio Project has preliminary milestones due in Weeks 2 and 4.
You developed your project topic/research question and introduction in the Week 2 project milestone, and your literature review in the Week 4 milestone. Now, you will finalize your project by adding the following topics/headings:
- Research Purpose
- Research Design (applies to both qualitative and quantitative research questions)
- Data Collection and Research Participants (for example: Where are you collecting your research data from? Who are your participants?)
- Data Analysis and Reporting Results
- Drawing Conclusions
- Recommendations for Future Studies (actionable recommendations)
NOTE: You do not need to use primary data for this research. It’s acceptable to use secondary data. Contact your instructor if you need guidance using secondary data.
When writing your final paper, be sure to follow these guidelines:
- Your paper should be 10 to 12 pages in length, organized, and well-written in conformity with apa.
- Support your answers using at least 10 peer-reviewed articles or scholarly journals, in addition to the course textbooks.
- Include a title page, section headers, an introduction, a conclusion, and a references page.
