Restate research question(s), show statistical analyses, discuss how they answer each research question (gory stat details in another appendix?) Section 4: Discussion /20 Overall discussion of research questions, how well survey answered them Any surprising, or expected, results Strengths and weaknesses of your survey; recommendations for future Take-home message(s) List of References /10 Appendices /10 TOTAL /100 ==================================================================== SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE DRAFTY DRAFT: * Most of Sections 1 and 2, and the list of references, should be complete - use material from your project proposal - use material from your progress report ppt * The rest of the paper depends on work you haven't completed yet, so there should be many holes. - For each hole, write a paragraph detailing what you plan to do to fill the hole (put the paragraph in bold or italic, or box it or something so I know it is "plans" and not part of the actual paper text). - I will be grading you on your *plans* in sections 3, 4 and the appendices, not what you've *done* in these sections. So don't worry if you haven't done many analyses yet. Just give me a well-thought-out set of plans for what you will do in the coming weeks. * I will be grading on - organization & content (and plans, if you don't have content for some parts yet!) - how well you followed the recommendations and examples of the Bem article on writing. ====================================================================
