There are many methods available for conducting research, one of which is a case study. The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn how to conduct and complete a case study.

Instructions: Answer the following 4 questions using current APA format throughout (including your title page, running head, author note, appropriate vocabulary and sentence structure, introductory statement, citations, page numbers, levels of headings throughout the document, and consistency between your citations and references).

Use your course textbooks, including your Introduction to Research textbook and the Publication Manual, and at least 2 additional scholarly references. This assignment must have a title page, 2-4 pages of appropriate content, and a reference page.

Give the answers to these questions in your own words and with your own explanation. Cite and list your various sources as references.

Create your own phrase for a properly-formatted level one heading for each question so as to be clear about which item you are answering.

Your headings must not be simply copied/pasted from the questions. An acceptable heading must clearly capture the essence of each question. Headings are typically brief statements.
