Unit 5: Term Project Rough Draft, with Data
This paper must be in APA style.
To this point, you
have submitted the topic, the outline and the bibliography.
In this unit, you
need to submit the rough draft, as far as you have gotten, for feedback and improvement,
for your final draft.
In Unit 2, you did
the below: --
As preparation for
the final research paper, you formulated a theory about the correlation between
measurable independent variables (causes) and one measurable dependent variable
(the effect). Be sure to have at least two independent variables for proposed
research paper. This rough draft should include the following four items which
serve as the foundation for the final research paper after instructor feedback
is given.
Unit 5: 20 points (These steps total to 20 points).
Create a draft of
your report including the data. This copy of the data may be in an
Excel spreadsheet.
**Below is a
copy of the requirements for your proposal from Unit 2.
1) Purpose Statement [20%]
In one paragraph,
state the correlation and identify the primary independent variables.
State the
correlation as in the following:
“The dependent
variable _______ is determined by independent variables ________, _________,
________, and ________.”
Identify and defend
the “primary” independent variable, or the variable believed to have the
strongest impact on the dependent variable:
“The most important
independent variable in this relationship is ________ because _________.”
2) Definition of Variables [20%]
For each variable,
write a single definition paragraph talking about the variable. Paragraphs
should be in this order: dependent variable, primary independent variable, and
three independent variables.
In addition to
defining the independent variables, defend why each determines the dependent
variable.
For the primary
independent variable, at least two research sources that discuss the variable
also must be cited. These sources need not be technical documents but should
contain evidence to justify the relationship between the primary independent
variable and the dependent variable. List these sources in the Works Cited
(reference) page.
**Note: Citations
from encyclopaedias, Wikipedia, blogs, abstracts, or non-governmental websites
are not acceptable research sources.
3) Data Description [20%]
For each of the
variables, at least 30 observations of cross-sectional data must be obtained.
Thus for the final research paper, a data matrix that is at least 30 rows by
numbers of variables must be presented.
In one paragraph,
identify the data sources and describe the data (i.e., which government
agencies supply the data, which methods are used to compile them, when they
were collected, etc.).
4) Works Cited Page [20%]
The final page of
the proposal should be a Works Cited page listing the two research sources for
the primary independent variable and the data sources, with a separate citation
for each table of data, including specific table numbers for each of the
sources.
5) Data [20%]
