Assignment 2: Project Timeline

For this assignment, you will draw up a timeline for completing your final research project.

Evaluation of your final project will include a consideration of how well you adhered to the deadlines that you set for yourself. Please be mindful of the assignment deadlines in the syllabus (e.g., project proposal due date) when setting up your timeline.

Here are some of the items we listed in class:
  • Topic selection
  • IRB approval
  • Searching for books/articles
  • Writing the research proposal
  • Writing the literature review
  • Writing the methods section
  • Constructing the research protocol
  • Recruiting subjects or collecting texts
  • Conducting interviews/focus groups/observations
  • Transcribing (generally takes 3-4x longer than interview)
  • Organizing the data
  • Analyzing the data
  • Writing the contribution/limitations section
  • Creating a functional outline
  • Writing up the research
[Let me know if you see anything I have missed]

Your project timeline should be posted on your research blog by 12 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9.
