For this assignment, again,
it is beneficial that you keep the topic you would like to research for
the capstone proposal in mind. The capstone will require a literature
review for your proposal, of which you may use articles obtained during
this course.
Select a peer-reviewed, non-experimental research
study that exemplifies a correlational and quasi-experimental design
(use keywords method, results, and discussion in your Boolean search).
These studies can be found using tools such as the GCU Library and
Google Scholar.
Write a 500-750-word paper in which you:
Compare the research design of the two studies chosen.
Were the research designs appropriate to their hypothesis (the goal of the research or research question)? Why or why not?
Discuss the limitations of drawing conclusions from a non-experimental study.
Did the study have a random sample? Were there other problems that were noticed?
Prepare
this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style
