Research Proposal

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to get some feedback from me on your research focus and working thesis. Because getting feedback is time sensitive, this assignment must be completed by the end of the week (no late submissions). If you miss the deadline, just keep moving forward. You can always communicate by email or make an appointment to Zoom with me in office hours to discuss your ideas.

Instructions

You'll get a text entry box to answer each of the questions below. A brief response of one or two sentences will work for each of these. And if you're not sure yet, it's fine to say that you're still deciding -- but then share some ideas that you're considering so that I have some way to offer feedback, especially on your working thesis. Leaving boxes blank or indicating that you're still thinking will not earn points.

Which friendship topic have you decided to investigate, and why is it interesting and important to you? (3 points)
