1. Do you understand the format of your research based report? Look at the list of seven sections that your assignment directions state your report must contain. State briefly which section you think will be easiest to write, which section you think might give you trouble, and which, if any, section(s) you are not sure you understand.

2.  You must use seven (7) sources for this assignment.  Three (3) of these must be scholarly journals. Explain the difference between a scholarly journal and any other type of source.

3.  Your report must be 2-3000 words long. How many pages would that be (you should probably think in terms of 12 point Times New Roman type)?
