1. Assignment #1
Write a 300-word purpose statement for your research proposal.
Include in your purpose statement a research question for your
research proposal. Students are strongly encouraged to send the
instructor a first draft of the question via email at least three
days prior to the deadline for feedback. This kind of refinement
will be helpful as you seek to craft a research question that is
good and appropriate for your proposal. This assignment will
be graded on content, adherence to APA style, and English
grammar and usage.
Research questions can be
1. Should athletic department be allowed to pay student athletes
as work study participants
2. Does having a good athletic department help or harm overall
school achievement
Assignment #2
Find five scholarly articles related to your chosen research
topic, articles which might ultimately be included as part of a
literature review. Write a 200-word abstract for each of the five
articles. Your written abstracts must not be similar to any
abstracts included as part of your articles—use your own
words. Begin each abstract with a reference listing in APA
style. Be sure to include at the end of each abstract a listing of
key words and phrases that will serve as the building blocks of
your research map. Include all seven abstracts in one
document. This assignment will be graded on adherence to
APA style and English grammar and usage.
