In 600 words, and drawing from the full range of primary sources for each lab, write either Lab A or Lab B. Remember, these must be formally organized essays with introductions and thesis statements that lay out the direction of the essay and identify your main argument. Then proceed with paragraphs (one main idea per paragraph), each of which develops a part of your thesis. Use the full range of primary sources assigned for that lab as evidence to back up your assertions.

Discuss a project that brings together a worldview, designs, and methods. Identify whether this would be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research.
2. Final Project: Research Paper Proposal
Part I. Read through the final project directions below. For this assignment, your task is simply to list 3 potential topics that you could select from and justify why the topic may work for your topic. Make sure that your topics are specific enough that the final paper has one specific thing it is focused on. For example, “Divorce” is way too broad. You could be talking about the process, rates, different practices in different countries, the reasons it happens… that’s too much. To narrow the research topic, a bit more specificity is needed. “Changes in the divorce rate in the US” is more specific. Now you have a more specific focus regarding the divorce rate (how it is changing) and a place (in the US as opposed to the entire world).
