Case Study Evaluation (This info is for context and background, only the check point assignment is due): In the case study students will produce a full research paper (roughly 15 pages) around a supplied case problem. The case problem is available on our course site starting Week 2 of the course. More specifically, from the case problem students will identify an appropriate research/evaluation question. From this research/evaluation question students will produce a literature review to understand existing knowledge around the problem. Next, students will critique the current research/evaluation design and provide detailed suggestions for improving the design moving forward. that includes a thorough discussion related sampling techniques, variables, measurements, and quantitative techniques needed to answer the question at hand. Finally, students will use the supplied dataset to test their hypotheses. All papers must include a results and conclusion section. Our course site contains a rubric to help guide your writing. Additionally, there are several “checkpoints”(listed below) that you must adhere to.
