Assignment Guidelines
This is a position paper that will contain a breakdown of, but is not limited to, the following questions:

• How did you select the topic in terms of its importance to the social community?
o Did it come from the media? Why or why not?

• What are the issues, problems, or policies that need to be addressed?
o Is it an issue, problem, or policy? Explain.
o Is it a combination of an issue, problem, or policy? Why or why not? Explain.

• What implemented changes are proffered to affect the topic(s) selected?
o Be specific with recommended changes.
o Match recommendations with the specific component that you are intending the implementation to affect.

• How are the changes valid for the topic(s)? (This is the defense portion and should be significant.)
o The positions and changes recommended must be defended with logic and facts.
o Facts must all be supported with adequate research sources from legitimate references (cite the facts in APA style in the outline).

Without defended recommendations, this paper will have no merit.

• What is the anticipated outcome of the changes for the research topic(s)?
o Use logic and deductive approaches to the anticipated outcome.
o If you can show something to be so, and it relates to the next step, then the deduction will be strong.
o Remember that if any of the arguments in deductive logic are false, then the outcome cannot be valid.

• A minimum of 8–10 appropriate references must follow the paper.
o This is the backbone of your decision-making process
o It cannot be stressed enough that your references need to be from legitimate academic and scholarly sources and must be sound in their scientific acceptance.
o Use academic search engines if you are using the Internet.
o Do not use simple Internet searches.
o Do not limit yourself to Internet-only resources if possible.

• The references must be written in APA style for a reference page. Each reference should be followed by a short paragraph that describes what this reference source is going to contribute to the research.

• Citations are appropriate in the outline from the references that you have provided. Citations will be in APA format.

Note: If you are able to address all of the requirements in just 6 pages, then the quality needs to be extremely high. While it is a 4-6 page minimum, it is recommended that you stop when you meet the goal, not just because you got to 6 pages.

• First, revise your Unit 4 IP based on instructor feedback and peer responses.

• Next, add to your final Unit 4 IP draft by addressing the following in 4–5 pages:
o Select 1 alternative to your position addressed in the Unit 4 IP regarding your selected topic:

Module 4: Methods

Your paper should build upon your literature review. Specifically, you will describe how you will test the hypothesis proposed in the second paper. Your paper should have all of the sections described herein.

Describe your research method using the appropriate terms such as experiment or survey (questionnaire or interview).

Explain why this type of method is being used (i.e., why the specific method is appropriate for this topic in terms of why exploratory or descriptive research is more appropriate than correlational or experimental – or vice-versa. You must use a quantitative method for this project. Please make sure to write in future tense as you will not actually conduct the study.

Participants. The section describes, in detail, how the participants will be sampled, the characteristics of the sample which will be relevant to the study, the desired size of the sample, and a logical rationale that justifies this sample choice and size.

Procedures. Include your description of how your research will proceed (remember- we may want to actually conduct this study).

Discuss where your participants will be studied, what will happen to them when they immediately arrive, the instructions you will give participants, etc. Describe how the data will be gathered, including specific procedures to be followed. Provide a brief rationale for why these procedures and measures are appropriate for the study, including how reliability and validity will be determined.

Describe how you will ope-rationalize the independent and dependent variables. That is, explain how the variables will be observed, measured, and/or manipulated in relation to all questionnaires, physical observations, and any other applicable measures.

You must use pr-existing measures or procedures. If the instruments that you will use have been previously validated, report that information here, long with the reliability coefficient that other researchers have found that instrument to have.

Be sure to include examples here. If you are using any kind of instrument (if you are doing a survey), include the instrument in the appendix (at the end of the paper). If the actual instrument has not been published, then include the examples of the items that other researchers have described when they used that instrument. If you are using a pr-existing procedure (doing an experiment) then please thoroughly explain the experiment.

Limitations and Conclusion

Discuss some potential threats to internal and external validity, and these threats will be (a) thwarted by your procedures, or (b) may impact the conclusions. It should not be difficult to be specific and accurate here, since your book discusses all of these issues in chapters that we have read. Conclude with a brief summary of your report.
