Steps in Research Study

About the Readings  Validity & Reliability (Methodology week)  Observation & Interview (Methodology week)  Types of writing – the research articles you’ve found (for next week) What category of research does that writing fall into? What types of writing does it belong to – (types of writing Week 3)

HW and ???  Reading for next week  Arrange for observation (week 3 HW)  Think about your research questions
