The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that you are making progress on your research project, which is due at the end of the term and is worth 20% of your course grade.
Save this file to your computer, and answer each of the questions following the prompt. A complete answer is a minimum of 2-3 complete sentences – though more is probably better here, since you need to do this research thoroughly for your project! Use proper grammar and a professional tone. Do not use any direct quotes – all information should be re-stated in your own words, and the source cited.
Note: References must be listed in APA HYPERLINK “https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html” HYPERLINK “https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html”f HYPERLINK “https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_basic_rules.html”ormat. DO NOT just copy and paste website links.
For this assignment, please find and use a minimum of ONE scholarly source. For the final Research Project however, you will need to find and incorporate at least three scholarly sources (i.e., peer-reviewed articles or books). Use Web of Science to ensure you are finding scholarly sources. Information about scholarly sources is provided in the Research Project Module on Canvas.
