Week 2 Discussion – Due
Jan 20, 2021 11:59 PMMCJ6985-Applied Professional Project SU01
The discussion assignment provides a forum to discuss the relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered. For this assignment, make sure you answer all questions for Parts 1 and 2 by the due date assigned. Provide a detailed response to the topic questions in the Discussion Area. For this assignment, post your responses directly in the Discussion Area; do not attach any documents.
To support your work, make sure you use your course and text readings. When asked, also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite the sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
Model Study
Part 1
For this discussion, you will identify a study that will be used as a model study throughout the course. It is permissible to use the study that you described in the Week 1 Project as long as it includes details regarding the below-mentioned topics. If your study doesn’t describe these topics, then you will need to locate and identify another study. Your model study should include a description of the following topics:

Abstract
Background (description of the problem to be examined or evaluated)
Literature review
Methodology (explanation of how data was collected and analyzed)
Analysis and findings

Note: For this part of the discussion, you simply need to identify the chosen “model” study, with complete reference.
Part 2
Researchers usually encounter barriers as they conduct a study. Failure to recognize potential barriers can be costly and may even derail a project entirely if unexpected barriers cannot be overcome.
For this discussion, discuss the research question(s) that were composed in Week 1 Project.
On the basis of your discussion, respond to the following points:

Speculate on the barriers you might encounter as you seek to investigate your research questions.
Describe how you would design your study in order to minimize the impact of the barriers that you encounter.

Note: You can refer to the assigned readings to seek some general ideas of commonly found obstacles and apply them to investigate your specific research questions.
