Please read below assignment instructions before placing your bid. “This assignment has 2 parts.“

Part 1

This assigned project will be a presentation for your classmates. The presentation will be based on a research project/topic picked by you. The research you do can be original research, research that repeats something that has been done before (such as a simple experiment discussed in a class), or a literature search.

You may choose anything that interests you for the topic, but everyone must choose a different topic (first come, first served). Once you decide on a topic, you will write a proposal. Your instructor will review your proposal to ensure that your procedure will meet the content requirements.  Next you will conduct your study, present your research, and write a 1 to 2-page paper that outlines your research/project. 

The proposal needs to include the following:

1. Your research question. What do you intend to do or answer?

2. Why did you choose this topic, is there a reason you chose this topic?

3. What is your hypothesis?  What are you expecting to find?

4. How you intend to accomplish answering your question.
i. For research, state your procedure exactly as you intend to carry it out
ii. For a literature search, list your keywords and your outline.
