Final Project

Select a subject from one of the chapters discussed in this course.

Once you have your data, the highlighted parts below will need to be completed for your project/paper.

Part I: Introduction

This section should include some perspective about the problem you are trying to analyze; in other words, you should review some literature concerning your subject. The library or the web will be a good source of information. This introduction should provide the rationale for your study; it is a very important part of your paper / project. The purpose is to capture the audience to continue reading.

Part II: Statement of the Problem

This section should contain a clear and concise description of the problem that you are trying to solve. This section should include a hypothesis or purpose of the paper. One paragraph.

Part III: Methodology

This section needs to include a detailed explanation of the manner in which you selected your data or sample(s). Describe the process for selecting data and the logic to the time period studied such as comparison over what duration. Make sure the reader knows whether or not this sample was randomly selected. If it was randomly selected, make sure the process of selection is well documented. This section should include a statement of the possible weaknesses of our study.

If you used a questionnaire that you developed, include it in this part of the project. Give reasons for including specific questions. A questionnaire or manual data should include how compared to internet research. If you retrieved the data from the web, state this and explain where and how you obtained the data. Any and all descriptions of how you conducted your study should be placed inside this section.

Part IV: Analysis of the data

This is the ‘meat' of the analysis. If you are doing some preliminary descriptive statistics on your sample(s) be sure to include this information here. You must include visual aids such as graphs, charts, and frequency tables plus quantitative measurements such as regression detail, means, standard deviations, and outliers.

Explain, in great detail, how you conducted your test(s) and how you analyzed your data and results. All statistical results should be provided. You may want to copy/paste results (if you used Excel) in this section.

Part V: Conclusions and Implications

This section should include the conclusions that you made after analyzing your data. Be sure you do not make grandiose statements about your population in general if your sample was not representative of the entire population. You might add your own opinion about any other study that you might think appropriate to follow your own.

Part VI: Bibliography

This section should contain references to sources that were used.
