Students select a topic to complete a qualitative or mixed methods research proposal, utilizing case study methods (this will be the qualitative method in a mixed design). Creswell, Chapter 4, especially example 4.1 (p.78), provides the general required components of the research proposal. In addition, the proposal is required to have:
10-12 double spaced pages of research
A minimum of 8-10 literature review sources
Reference and title pages (do not count toward page count)
Appendixes as needed (do not count toward page count)
Headers and subheaders are encouraged
