The title of your written work is one of the most important decisions you will make when writing your final plan.  Many readers will choose to read your research plan based on the specifics in your title.  The title should clearly state the purpose and content of your report.  Make your title straightforward and as descriptive as needed to relay your purpose. It should include the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the population studied. 

Avoid using statements that imply too much confidence or certainty. Depending on the section of your report, you must be wary of writing in a definitive style. Definitive style writing can be used when describing your methodology (research design, data collection, etc) or statistical analysis. Numerical facts are safe to write in a definitive nature (ex. median, mean). Tentative style writing should be used when writing in reference to your conclusions and any implications for further study.
