For this final paper you will be putting together the primary components we’ve learned about this semester that frame research problems and the need for their investigation.<\/p>\n
The paper will include an introduction of your research question and hypothesis if applicable, a problem statement, a purpose statement and a brief literature review including a theory and a conclusion that might offer potential solutions to the problem. <\/p>\n
The paper should be approximately 6-8 pages in length and include a cover page, reference page and proper APA formatting. <\/p>\n
