​

B) Research Proposal

6. Research Plan 

• Research Question (RQ): what issue are you addressing? 

- Include a quantifiable Independent Variable (IV) and Dependent Variable (DV) 

- Ensure the RQ is specific enough to be answered by data collection 

• Hypothesis: Null and Alternative Hypothesis 

- Null: there is no correlation between IV and DV 

- Alternative: there is either a positive or negative correlation between IV and DV 

• Research Outline: how will you conduct your investigation? 

- Write a step-by-step outline of how you plan on collecting data, monitor research site and manage risks involved in the research
