Clifford,

You have all of the headings except the Definition of Key Terms. However, you do need to be more specific about your own study. Your paper sounds like you are discussing the journal article rather than your own research to be conducted. I would like to see you make the necessary changes per my detailed comments on your returned paper. Please click on the link beneath the rubric for your returned paper.
