Mini Research Project #2

Original Title for your Project Write-Up

            Your Oral History Research Project was a qualitative research project in which you examined one person’s US immigration experience in depth. For this second mini research project you will take a different – quantitative – approach, defining a narrow and concise question, then gathering data to answer that question.

            Your project write-up should be six to eight double-spaced pages in length and must include the 6 sections listed below. Arial font, 11 point, is preferred.  Times New Roman 12 point may also be used.  Margins no greater than 1 inch, please.

 1) Introduction – introduce and contextualize your research topic and question

 2) Review of the Literature – briefly discuss what has already been written about your topic                                 3) Method – outline the method used to answer your question… include a copy of your survey questions; discuss how you defined your survey population and conducted the survey

 4) Results – summarize (generally in a table, chart or graph) your survey results

 5) Analytical Discussion – what do your results mean in the context of your initial question? if your results indicate that future research would be useful, what future research might that be?

6) Bibliography – absolutely must be included or your project will not be gradable
