You will write a 4-page research proposal. If you have ongoing research, you can turn this into a research paper

Feedback : Your first paragraph seems to be stating a fact rather than proposing a hypothesis or a research question… you will need to fix this in order to do well on Memo 3 and the Final research proposal. Because of this there is also no clear evidence because there is no clear hypothesis. No methodology.

You will write a 4-page research proposal. If you have ongoing research, you can turn this into a research paper (otherwise, a proposal would be easier for the student). You have flexibility in making changes for the topic, theory, method, etc. (from what you did in the midterm proposal). You should refine your research questions, generate thoughtful insights, and relate your arguments/conclusions to what is present in the literature.

Format for the final:

• 4 pages, double-spaced, 12-font size, and in Times New Roman.
• A cover page, page number (except on the cover page), and formal citations and references. An abstract is not needed. Writing should be polished.
• An introduction and conclusion.
• It is optional to add 1-2 tables or graphs on an additional page at the end.
• At least 6-8 references are required. You can use non-academic references only if they constitute evidence; in this case, only 1 non-academic reference counts toward this requirement. References can be listed on an additional page. For references and citations, follow the instructions of American Sociological Review (under No. 5 of “Manuscript Preparation” in the manuscript submission guidelines; https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/ASRLinks to an external site.).
• Do not use headings or sub-headings. You do not have much space.
