In your previous assignment you were asked to define and provide a rationale for your research design. In this assignment you will be asked to build upon that previous assignment to complete a full draft of Chapter 3. This will include a detailed description and justification of the research method(s) you have chosen to employ. You should also clearly define the data you expect to gather, explaining how you intend to address any potential challenges you anticipate in collecting that data. You should clearly define and justify your measurement scheme(s) for any data you are collecting.
This draft of Chapter 3 should not be considered a rough draft. The assignment should be a polished draft, properly edited for clarity and consistency with style requirements. It should be considered a first draft in that students will be expected to revise and expand this draft as appropriate later in this course or in subsequent courses in the doctoral research sequence.
