Two main forms:

• research (technical) project -> NEED DATA!
• the report must contain statistical component done

by you (not just adopted from reviewed papers). If the data used in statistical consideration is adopted from another paper you must clearly state the source of the data

• research (technical) proposal -> NEED IDEA!
• the report must contain anticipated timeline (in the

format of gantt chart) and budget (in the tabular format) of the project,

WR2

Two main forms:

• research (technical) project -> NEED DATA!
• how I collected my data:
• one published source (new statistical method)
• combined from several sources (old…)
• survey
• perform an experiment
• fake data
• research (technical) proposal -> NEED IDEA!
• how I WILL collect my data
• experiment
• survey

Reviewed papers!!!!

WR2: INTRODUCTION

• This is an overview of your proposed study
• Brief history
• RATIONALE
• PURPOSE
• "What are the objectives of my research?" and
• "What do I expect to discover or learn from this

research?”

• RESEARCH QUESTION: The introduction usually ends

with a research question or questions.

WR2: DESIGN & METHODS

• The METHODS section of the report is where you explain

to your reader how you went about carrying out your

• research. You should describe the subjects, the

instruments used, the conditions under which the tests were given, how the tests were scored, how the results were analyzed, etc.

WR2: RESULTS

• In the RESULTS of your report you make sense of what

you have found. Here you not only present your findings but also talk about the possible reasons for those findings. Also, if your research approach was deductive, then here is where you accept or reject your hypothesis (based on your findings). In addition, in this section you should use your knowledge of the subject in order to make intelligent comments about your results

WR2: CONCLUSION

• In the CONCLUSION to your report, you do a number of important

things:

• Summarize the main points you made in your introduction and

review of the literature

• Review (very briefly) the research methods and/or design you

employed.

• Repeat (in abbreviated form) your findings.
• Discuss the broader implications of those findings.
• Mention the limitations of your research (due to its scope or its

weaknesses)

• Offer suggestions for future research related to yours
