Assignment:

Post initial post consisting of the following:

The Capstone Project – Research Paper Track – Purpose/Significance, Research Questions

Consider:

Whereas introductions focus on the problem leading to the study, the  purpose statement  establishes the direction for the research. In fact, the purpose statement is the most important statement in an entire research study. It orients the reader to the central intent of the study, and from it, all other aspects of the research follow. In other words, the purpose statement indicates why you want to do the study and what you intend to accomplish and is the central, controlling idea in a study.

· Identify at least one, but no more than two, research questions.

· The research questions will guide and shape the rest of your paper.

· Specifically connect the research questions to the problem statement (in Chapter 2) by elaborating on how you think the two are related.

· No Plagiarism

· Cite References
