Research topic of interest and develop a research project abstract.
Students will choose a research topic of their interest and develop a research project abstract. Students will be graded on the quality of their research abstract. Abstracts should include: Introduction, Background, Design and Methods, Expected Results, Conclusions, and Implications/ Significance.
In essence you will be selecting a topic of interest, doing a brief search of the literature surrounding that topic, and developing an abstract for your findings. note that many of the journal articles you are reading have abstracts in the very beginning of them that can serve as a good example. Keep in mind that abstracts are not very long in length, rather than typically a larger size paragraph (no longer than one page please). In addition, this link below helps break down more detail about how and why we utilize abstracts.
Since you will already be doing a literature review assignment later in the semester it might be helpful to utilize the same topic/research area so that you do not have to duplicate your efforts, however this is not required.
Requirements: 1 page
