Homework: Study Evaluation
This is the fourth homework in your Action Research Project. Begin by reviewing the project description and the Unit 9 instructions for the final project homework, focusing on the Discussion of Implications section, in which you will present a revised version of your work in this homework. Also, be sure to examine the Study Evaluation Scoring Guide before you begin, in order to familiarize yourself with the requirements of this homework. In addition, review the Riverbend City: Action Research Topic Implications and Plan Evaluation multimedia presentation from Unit 6 to prepare for completing this homework.
Remember that in each course project homework, you will update and include the content of your previous homeworks, then add new content as assigned. So far, you have already created the Introduction, Background for the Study, Description of the Research Context for the Study, and Results of Data Collection and Analysis sections for your final project homework. During this unit, you will also create the Action Plan section of the report, in the Project Action Plan discussion. In this homework, you will add the Discussion of Implications section. When you complete this homework, you will have only the Conclusions section of the report to write in the next and final project homework.
