Thinking about your research question and your preliminary research from the sources you identified last week, write the Introduction section for your research design. Your Introduction serves to inform the reader about your research question and why it is both interesting and necessary. You might discuss the urgency of your study through the use of statistics or quotes, but this is really where you set the tone for your research. This section should not be longer than one page.
Be sure your Word document submission includes your name.
