1. Introduction
2. Problem Statement
3. Research Objective(s)
4. Research Question (s)
5. The scope of the study
6. Research method
7. Theoretical Framework and hypotheses
8. Research Design
9. Results

12. Limitations of Study and Suggestions for further research

Note: A completed, cohesive work with a Table of Contents as listed above must be included in your final submission. Title and reference pages and an ABSTRACT (which is written last but place at the beginning of the work) are required. Appendices are optional but suggested for copies of your survey instrument and charts if there are many of them. As ever, see the rubric in Canvas for expectations. A review of the sample student papers may be helpful too.
