Task

assignment. Highlight most recent changes in text (if
appropriate) and in table (below).

- Restate your Research Question.
- List all instruments and materials that you will need to conduct
your Applied Project.
- Construct a first draft of each.
Guidelines
- All materials should be
consistent with your research question. This sounds obvious, and yet it
is a very difficult part of the research process. This so-called
internal validity will not be evaluated at this stage, but it is
important to keep in mind during the design process.
- The new portions of this
assignment will receive full credit if complete. The restated
portions will be evaluated qualitatively, expecting you to have
incorporated feedback from the last round.
- Provide instruments in the
forms they will be received by participants. For example, if you
plan to administer a survey, provide a draft of the survey that appears
as close as possible to the copy you plan to administer.
- This assignment is messy and
hard to structure because the requirements differ according to
individual projects.
