Please read the case study, The Town of Middle View, in chapter 1 on pgs. 3-6 of the textbook Community Organizing (McKnight & Plummer, 2015). Answer the following questions and respond to the posts of your classmates. You will be graded on your post, which should be between 2 and 3 paragraphs, and your responses to other students’ posts (minimum of 3). Conduct research online using the guidelines in Chapter 7, Appendix One, and the readings for this course. Summarize what you learn. Develop a research plan from the descriptions in Chapter 7 and Appendix One. What sorts of research work will you need to do to really determine what is going on? Briefly define the form and content of what you will need to do. Do not actually do any formal research with human subjects, such as surveys or formal interviews that would require that you go to the college’s Institutional Review Board and is beyond the scope of the course. If you decide to follow through after the course, the information will be yours, not ours.
