DESIGN TEXT ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
You are required to select and master the primary research text related to your study design from
among those listed in the course syllabus. For example, case study designs can incorporate
Robert Yin’s (2017) Case Study Research: Design and Methods. Those conducting
transcendental phenomenological studies would use Clark Moustakas’s (1994)
Phenomenological Research Methods.
INSTRUCTIONS
Compose a 3–4-page (not including the title, abstract, and references pages) summary of the
primary text you selected. Your summary must provide each of the following four required
sections, organized with an appropriate Level 1 heading for each:
a) A detailed descriptive summary of the major components of the design
b) An explanation as to why this design is appropriate for the student’s topic
c) Types of data collection appropriate for the design
d) Steps of analysis appropriate for the design
A minimum of three sources, including your text selection, are to be cited. However, the purpose
of this paper is to demonstrate mastery of the material within the primary text; therefore,
additional references must only be used minimally in support of the primary text. Provide a
references page of the scholarly references that also includes a reference entry for the selected
text.
The paper must be submitted in current APA format.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
