Assignment Instructions
Instructions:Research Design/Research Map
This week you read Chapter One in Creswell Chapter One will discussed quantitative, qualitative, and mixed studies These designs include philosophical assumptions, strategies of inquiry, and specific research methods When choosing a research design these elements need to be considered along with the research problem
For this assignment, you need to create a PowerPoint presentation In a PowerPoint presentation please map out your research problem Discuss your topic and the steps outlining your final Research Proposal Some of the questions you must answer are (see the assignment rubric for graded areas):
What would your purpose statement be?
What databases could you use for sources?
Are there any ethical considerations?
What method would you use and why?
This presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides Be creative and have fun with this assignment Remember this assignment could be used as the basis for your final Research Proposal The assignment will be graded on contents and grammar
In addition to the PowerPoint, you must submit a self-evaluation of your PowerPoint You will use the rubric that is attached to these instructions to complete the evaluation of your PowerPoint You should embed the rubric on the last page of your PowerPoint once it is complete
Help with creating a PowerPoint can be found under week 1 forum If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me

Assignment Instructions

Instructions:Select an appropriate article for review to complete the assignment Write a review using the instructions below This should be a minimum of 1000 words Write in APA format Include cover page, body with in text citations & reference list Include at least 3 references
Select an Article
The article you select for this assignment should be related to the area of Transportation & Logistics Ideally, this same article will be part of the literature review section of your final project in the course In addition, the article you select should be an example of quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods research that meets the following criteria:

• published in peer reviewed journal
• current–published within the past 5-10 years
• related to the topic you are exploring for your final project

In selecting your article for this assignment make sure it describes a quantitative, qualitative or mixed-methods study and includes:

• a discussion of the research problem or question
• the methods of data collection and analysis

Review the Article
Your review of your selected article should be a concise, thoughtful discussion of the main features of the study described in the article and of important questions that the study might raise from researchers The review should follow this format:

1 A brief overview of the study in which you succinctly describe the study and its relationship to important issues, trends, or questions in the area of research you are exploring This is the only section in which you discuss the topic of the research The other sections are focused on the research design and methodology

2 A description of the methodology of the study, including the research design; research question; the subjects, population, setting, or activity being studied and how they were selected; the methods of data collection and analysis; and the results This section should also include a discussion of the assumptions or theoretical perspective(s) grounding the study design

3 An evaluation of the study in which you discuss whether the design of the study adequately addresses the problem statement and research questions and in which you identify aspects of the study that are especially effective or problematic (support with the text) Your evaluation should be guided by the following questions (do not just simply answer the questions):

• Does the author sufficiently establish the significance of the research question(s)?
• Are the methods of data collection and analysis sufficient to answer the research question(s)?
• Are the study’s conclusions realistic, given the methods of data collection and analysis?
• Are there any significant methodological weaknesses in the study? If not, what are the major strengths?
• Are there any ethical concerns with this study?

4 A discussion of implications of what you learned from this study regarding research methodology and research in general (not the topic of the study) The purpose of your review is not to judge whether the study was good or bad, but to examine it carefully in order to understand better the complexities of research
FYI: Wikipedia is not an acceptable resource for academic writing Please use the university library for reference Articles must be peer-reviewed
