The following course outcome is addressed in this Assignment: Design a research study using relevant tools and methodology.
This Assignment is part of the Research Proposal. This Assignment represents a draft of the Introduction section of your Research Proposal. It will be written as a standard paper, with title and references page. When it is revised for inclusion in your Final Project, some changes will need to be made, but if you have done well here, those changes will be minor.
The Introduction section of a Research Proposal includes an explanation of the topic (including some historical background to put things into context), a literature review of recently published research on the topic of the research being proposed (drawing from information collected during the Unit 2 Assignment and an overview of the proposed research question and hypotheses.
The length of this assignment should be 5-8 pages.
Also add research question here and that is what the research paper should be on. The research question is: What are the possible effects that less external stimulation and control of one's environment can decrease manic episodes.
