Writing Homework Help

Different research designs and methods are employed based on the topic, the research problem, and the purpose of the study, and the research questions. Clarity of choice is necessary to develop a viable and feasible study. Making selections about how to set up a study and plan a course of action to collect and analyze data is not random or haphazard. The choices that students are required to make must be thoughtful and systematic to maintain alignment and methodological congruence throughout the research process. This week, students will demonstrate their understanding of components that are critical to the alignment process.

• Methodology and methods

OR

• Methodology, design, and data analysis

OR

• Methodology, design, and presentation of findings
