This final assignment —building on concepts used with your article review and presentation— requires you to create a research proposal design that employs case study methods. This proposal will include standard elements such as specification of the problem, research questions and literature review. Ideally, it will be something you can refine and complete for a conference of journal. As such, your design should relate in some way to your own research agenda (present or future).

During the last two (full) weeks of class, each student will present their design in class for approximately 15 minutes (schedule TBD). Students may use a PowerPoint or other visual presentation tool but are not required to do so. This exercise is intended to inspire constructive feedback from others in order to refine your design prior to the paper’s deadline, which is 5 p.m. on 12/12/23 via Blackboard. We will discuss specific details about this assignment as it approaches, but in general, page count should be 12 – 20 pages.
