Why do I want you to do it?

By carefully considering the possible options that are available to you to answer a research question, you can demonstrate the knowledge that you’ve learned about research approaches as well as exhibit critical thinking skills that go into determining which approach works best for your question. Having a clear plan for how you would go about answering your research question will be essential in your construction of a methods section of your research proposal that makes up your final assessment in this course.
