Project Paper: Methods Instructions

For the second stage of development, you will write a Methods section for the paper. Simply give a step-by-step description of the activities you have undertaken or plan to undertake during your practicum. You must use best practices found in the research literature as a guideline for your projects. The logical framework exercise, discussion board assignments, and blogs may provide a wealth of information to help you prepare this section. You must include at least 3 peer-reviewed or government resources for this portion of the Project Paper development. As with the previous stage, the resources may be drawn from the annotated bibliography or from additional research.
