Question: Start your assignment with an introductory paragraph, and move into a brief discussion about your research topic and why it is of interest and a research "puzzle". (about 1-2 pages) To back up your statements make sure you include references to the scholarly literature using the APA citation method. Keep in mind that at this level your work is heavily rated by the amount of research you put into it, something that is largely assessed by the amount and kinds of sources you use within your research.

Pull out the dependent (DV) and independent variable(s) (IV) that you are interesting it looking at. This needs to be specific and you need to discuss ideas for how you might go about measuring the impact that the IV as on the DV. You need to focus in on one or two specific variables, otherwise your research will quickly spin out of control as you will not have the capacity to effectively address the relationship between all the variables.

From here develop a hypothesis that reflects your educated guess as to the relationship between those variables. You may use an "if" "then" statement or you may formulate it as a narrative statement.

Hypothesis: A statement for how a change or condition in one or more independent variables cause(s) a change or condition in a dependent variable.

Finally, explain why these are the important variables to look at within this research project. Why focus on these variables and not other variables?

Your writing should be consistent with the professional/academic writing style.
