his is where you will provide the program or policy idea you wish to evaluate for approval to proceed with your research. In order to choose a project topic to research, you need to have a little background on your potential topic and information about what research has been done on that topic. Visit the UIU Library and conduct a word search on your potential topic. Identify at least 4 recent (last five years) academic journal articles that will assist you in understanding more about your project and direction. Please note the amount of recent (last five years) research available on your topic as you do so, as you will need at least 20 articles for your proposal. If you do not have adequate research, please consider changing the direction of your topic or change topics altogether. You must have adequate research on your topic in order to support your work.

Format of Assignment:

Type the description of your topic in a few paragraphs. State why you want to research your topic and what you hope to learn from it. Then provide four full citations of academic journal articles from the last five (5) years from the UIU Library databases (open source documents that you find online are not acceptable sources). This will help to ensure that you have sufficient research in which to complete your study.

For this assignment, please provide a full description of your intended topic. This should be formatted in proper APA Style (double spacing, 1″ margins, headings, first line indented paragraphs, appropriate fonts, etc.). This does not need to be a lengthy description, but it should give me an overall idea of what it is you want to study in three to four paragraphs, minimum. Once you have provided the description of your intended topic, also provide at least four (4) recent (previous five years) citations of academic journal articles that you locate in the UIU Library. The purpose of these articles is to ensure that there is adequate recent research available on your topic. As you go through the library databases, please note how many articles are available on your topic so that you know you will have sufficient research for your study. Please remember that academic journal articles means studies that contain Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Analysis, and Conclusion sections. One page or two page articles are not studies and are not considered research, although journals do publish them. If you notice that you are not finding sufficient research, please consider changing or modifying your topic. Annotated bibliographies are not necessary. I just need to see four full citations for academic journal articles from the UIU Library databases.
