1. 1-inch margins, 11/12-point font, double-spaced, use APA...APA header levels for each section.... same font size for entire paper.
2. Abstract is not in APA format.
3. There are no keywords included.
4. Table of Contents need to be revised ...does not match.
5. The introduction has been cut down by about 200 plus words... not good....I need the paper to be longer not shorter.
6. Literature highlights needs to be expanded drastically. The professor wont accept the short paragraph.
7. Chapter 3, QUANTITATIVE METHODOLOGY ONLY PLEASE" "The proposed research will comprise of qualitative as well as quantitative research methodology".....the expert did not even read the paper.....we eliminated qualitative research. Correct? Aaaagh! What is the correct methodology for quantitative research?
8. There was no data or data source provided - I explained I can perform statistical analysis easily in Stata and write up a paragraph of findings but you did not provide me anything.
9. There is no mixed methods of sampling on research design. Existing quantitative data only.
10. Sampling, sampling size etc.... we are not conducting any surveys. That falls under qualitative sampling. This is an EXISTING QUANTITATIVE DATA SSTUDY ONLY.
11. Revised Survey and Interview tools and techniques and sample elements are all wrong ----for quantitative research.

• LIMITATIONS OF CHOSEN RESEARCH METHODS
• RESEARCH METHODS
• RESEARCH QUESTIONS
• STUDY PURPOSE
• RESEARCH SETTING
• SUBJECTIVITY
• DISCUSSION
• CONCLUSION
