Final Project

The purpose of the final project in Methods of Research is threefold:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of the broad theoretical underpinnings of empirical

research, including research question formulation and hypothesis proposal.

2. Demonstrate an applied understanding of the quantitative research methods used in

political science

3. Situate your research within the broader field of published empirical research

To those ends, your paper will consist of the following:

Page limit: None. 

By the end of this project you will have a paper that can be used as a jumping off point for future research, proof of research skills in applying to post-undergraduate schools/empirically-oriented jobs, and (hopefully) something you are proud of.
