This project is compiled from six smaller "low stakes" components.
First, drawing upon previous projects, you will draft an introduction to produce a rationale for your literature review and proposal.
Second, once an introduction has been formulated, you will revise your literature review in order to: (a) further analyze whether your research provides adequate background on the research, and (b) show how your research problem fills a gap, and fits into ongoing conversations about the problem or issue.
Third, you will draw upon your already gathered research materials in order to propose a "mock" methodology for addressing your research problem. The proposal must be at least "semi-realistic," must include methodology appropriate to your DC, and must indicate how you would implement your methodology using discipline-specific methods.
Finally, you will develop a Discussion section where you discuss the limitations, assumptions, validations, and significance of your research proposal for your DC and the discipline at large.
