Alcorn State University Methods of Educational Research & Personal Goals Questions You are to respond to the following questions based on the research topic that you were assigned week two of this course. You will receive a failing grade if you use any other topic other than the one that was assigned to you. All of you were assigned a topic based on advising.

You will also receive a failing grade if you do not respond to the questions in the Q & A format that is provided. You are not to write a paper. You are to only respond to the questions. Additionally, none of you have IRB permission, so you should not write about any results based on any data that you have collected. It is appropriate to talk about past research in the review of related literature and the justification to conduct the research.

Your final exam must be submitted into CANVAS by 10:00pm, Tuesday, June 30, 2020. There will be no grace period given for this assignment. Late submissions will not be accepted.

This assignment is worth 300 points, therefore, review the rubric carefully to see how you will be graded for each question.
