Overview: Throughout Modules Three and Four, you have been guided through continuing your work on Project One (a research investigation), which you will
continue to work on and formally submit to your instructor at the end of Module Five. This assignment provides you with an important opportunity to get
valuable instructor feedback on the progress you are making and to ensure you are on the right track for your later submission.
Prompt: Throughout Modules Three and Four, you have had opportunities to fine-tune your selected social sciences issue and begin exploring academic sources
that can support your continued research on your issue. As you complete this work throughout Modules Three and Four, you should continue to build from the
previous work you completed and submitted in Research Investigation Progress Check 1. Specifically, in this assignment, you will submit the Project One
elements listed below for review by your instructor.
In Module Four: Performing the Research Investigation (Continued), learning block 4-2 (page 1), you completed the following work, building from your work in
Modules One and Two:
I. Introduction
A. Describe the issue in the social sciences that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant?
In Module Four: Performing the Research Investigation (Continued), learning block 4-2 (page 3), you completed the following work:
I. Introduction
B. Describe at least three social science resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your
issue and must be of an academic nature appropriate for the issue. In your descriiption, consider questions such as these: What are the
similarities and differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue? What was
your thought process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices?
In Module Two: Exploring Social Science Issues (Continued), learning block 2-3 (page 2), you completed the following work:
II. Body
A. Identify the social science principles that apply to your issue. In other words, which principles of social science apply to the issue you selected?
B. Explain how the principles you identified apply to your issue. In other words, how are the social science principles you identified relevant to your
issue?
In Module Four: Performing the Research Investigation (Continued), learning block 4-3 (page 3), you completed the following work:
III. Conclusion
A. Based on your investigation, develop a research question related to the issue you selected. In other words, what would you like to know more
about?
B. Explain how a social scientist would go about investigating the research question you developed. In other words, what would the next steps be if
a social scientist were to continue researching your question?
In Module Three: Performing the Research Investigation, learning block 3-3 (page 3); and Module Four, learning block 4-1 (page 3) and learning block 4-2
(page 3), you began working on the following section of the prompt:
IV. Provide a reference list that includes all of the social science resources you used to investigate your issue and question. Ensure that your list is formatted
according to current APA guidelines (or another format with instructor permission).
Please note that the numbering included above directly aligns with the numbering of these elements as they are presented in the Project One Guidelines and
Rubric document.
