Title of the Paper

Double space, indent each paragraph l ½ inch, and start typing. Your introduction does not have a heading – just the title of the paper.

You will need to write a thesis statement in your introduction, the main idea of a paper. Click here to visit a website about thesis statements.

Once you’ve developed the thesis, you can then begin composing your introduction. Click here for information on writing introductions.

Part One: Hypothesis

This will be the beginning of the body of the essay. Even though it has a new heading, you want to make sure you link this to your previous section so your reader can follow and understand. Remember to make sure your first sentence in each paragraph both transitions from your previous paragraph and summarizes the main point in your paragraph. Stick to one topic per paragraph, and avoid long paragraphs so you can hold the reader’s attention. A paragraph should be a minimum of three sentences. In this section you will address: What is your hypothesis? Research questions you want to answer?

Next section Here, answering the next question or questions from the list

It I OK to combine questions from the list below into sections, but just be sure that each section heading clearly labels what the section contains. For Example, it might say: Type of Resaearch and Population. The next section could include Sample, Groups, etc. Here is the list of what needs to be included in your proposal

What is your hypothesis? Research questions you want to answer?

What type of research will you use to answer the research questions? (Quantitative or qualitative? Experiment, case study, longitudinal, etc.?)

What is your population?

What is your sample?

Define your experimental group.

Define your control group.

How will you assign participants to groups?

What is your independent variable?

What is your dependent variable?

How will you collect data?

How will you operationalize these terms?

Are there any confounds or nuisance variables operating?

What ethical concerns may be present to consider in doing this study?

Another Heading….

And so forth until the conclusion.
