Select a topic from the textbook, explain why you chose the topic, and describe the intent of the research.

The topic for the Research Project should be selected in Week 1 and delivered by the end of Week 2. Students should choose a topic that interests and challenges them, one that they see as a problem or challenge. In order to satisfy the requirements, students must select a topic from the textbook, explain why they chose the topic, and describe the intent of the research. The Topic Selection and Proposal assignment further provides students with an opportunity to receive feedback from the instructor before completing additional work.
