 Therefore, answers must be based on the 2 assignments.

Assignment 1 (20%)

Combined your 2 assignments from Research Methodology and convert it into final report format (follow the outlines as I sent earlier)

In this submission, you can add on any new sources, materials or writing based on the suggestion I have provided

The assignment 1 should consist of Chapter 1 -3 and questionnaires as appendix.

Chapter 1 Introduction

– Problem statement

– Purpose of study

– Research objectives: make sure your RO match with RQ, if you have 5 RO, then match with 5 RQ, eventually develop 5 hypotheses

– Research questions : make sure all RO, RQ, and hypotheses use the same keywords to show consistency, likewise for your IV/DV

– Definition of key variables – standardized definition for your research on the key words, especially those IV/DV, otherwise reader will have their own understanding. For example, hot – weather, hot – spicy, hot – sexy… so which one is you try to mean.

– Related theory/model ( need to find a supporting theory for every research)

– Discussion of recent findings ( these are findings from other researchers on the same topic of your research, what are them? Can quote and support with a few journals, can be counter checked in chapter 5 if your findings same like other?)

– Research framework ( show and explain/define all your IV/DV)
