week 10 aSSIGNMENT: Final Paper

INTRODUCTION
Whether you plan to do a project study or a dissertation, you will identify a problem and develop a purpose, framework, and research questions from it. Whether you plan a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method, you will design your study using checklists and rubrics that ensure that your study meets the requirements for a Walden doctoral study. This week, you prepare a paper describing the study you propose to develop.
Throughout this course, you have examined other doctoral studies and begun to apply design tools, such as the Design Alignment Tool (DAT), to your own work. For this Final Paper, you apply the knowledge and skills that you have developed to prepare a paper about your planned study.
