Throughout your culminating experience courses, you have worked toward the completion of a research proposal in your field of study. While you have not formally implemented your project/proposal, you have completed the steps of the research process with the intent of conducting your research in the future. This week, you will bring all of your research together into one final culminating assignment.
Your final paper will encompass all assignments you have completed thus far. At this point, you have submitted each section and received feedback. The final paper should be edited and professionally presented. An attempt to incorporate all previous assignment feedback should be evident.
Compose your individual sections into one paper, with a title page, abstract, headings delineating your sections, reference page(s), and appendices (if applicable). The following should be included in your final submission:
Title page
Abstract
Introduction and background
The problem statement, purpose, and research questions
Literature review
Theoretical or conceptual framework
Predictions, outcomes, and variables (or limitations, depending on your research)
Methodology
Key stakeholders
Ethical considerations
Significance and Summary
The paper should be at least 50 pages in length including the title page, abstract, references, and appendices (if applicable). It must follow APA Manual (6th ed.). Each section of the paper should be clearly identified using proper APA headings. The final paper should be professionally written in a manner suitable for publication.
