Module 3 – IT Research Assignment
Assignment:
Developing Chapter 1 – The Research Problem
This first assignment will focus on the introduction to the research. The ultimate goal will be to submit a final research proposal by the end of the course. The proposal is not actually “doing’ the research but rather – submitting a proposal for the research that you’d like to conduct, explaining how you will set it up and how you will report the findings.
First, prepare your paper. Use the APA template and setup your paper into 5 sections – the same sections that can be found in the link below.

This first assignment will include the development of your template with all sections/headers and anticipated subsections/subheaders. Section 1 – the introduction – should be drafted and included in the submission. This section draft should be approximately 3-4 pages in length. Leave the other sections blank for now. Those will be build-out in future assignments.
Blackboard Submission: Submit this assignment as a Word doc through this link.
Length: Template outline (about 8-10 pages); Section 1 – introduction draft (about 3-4 pages); this should include a cover page, an abstract page, and a references page for a total of approximately 11-14 pages – many pages will only have the section headers and no detail yet.
Points: 50/1000 points
