DRAFT: ALIGNING PURPOSE, METHOD, AND QUESTIONS
One of the challenges of the research process is aligning the research purpose, question, and method. In this week’s discussion, you had a chance to get feedback on how you’re doing so far in aligning these pieces. In this assignment, take the feedback you received from the discussion and submit a reworked version of your research purpose, question, and method for your planned capstone project. This is not intended to be your final version of these sections. This is intended as an opportunity to continue to receive feedback on the research question and other aspects of sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 4.1 of the DPP.
