Assignment #5 DRAFT Research Proposal Methods

Assignment Description. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity for you to receive feedback on your draft Methods section before it is incorporated as part of your final proposal. The Methods section is where you will describe in detail how you plan to conduct your fictitious project, including data analysis.
