The asignment despcription is:  This is when your progressive assignments will come into play in finishing your research final paper (NOT A ROUGH DRAFT, It is your research design paper): You will be assembling the answers (including the revised feedbacks and comments I suggested to be incorporated into your answers) from Hw2: question 1 involving the research question goes at the beginning of literature review, questions 2 and 3 into the theory and hypothesis section, questions 4-10 goes into the Analysis section, and question 11 goes into either the beginning of literature review before research question and/or conclusion.  From hw 3 involving the literature review will go in the literature review section while references go at the end of the design under references page(s).  As of course, you be making revisions and changes, and expansions or additions in accordance to my feedbacks and suggestions from those previous submissions.   
For Final Research Design Paper, make sure all pages have headers such as either your last name or title name and page number.  Do not forget to write course section and number…
Make sure the overall format is 1-inch margin all around and 12-point font in Times New Roman Style.  In addition, remember this is a formal Paper, so avoid I, My, Mine, etc wordings, … in the first half of the paper (literature review, and theory/hypothesis sections).  Instead, write in  third person format such as They, He, she..this paper proposes, and so on…also in the literature review, cite and cite-especially when mention they/he/she/study/researchers/writers/etc.. cite in parenthesis.. all authors!… and anytime mentioning quotes-do not forget the page number(s)
Avoid using abbreviated terminology such as can’t or don’t, instead spell or write them out like do not or cannot; again, this is a formal paper.  
Again, I am repeating this-Make sure to cite sources often in the literature review, do not just put he or she, they, the study or research found/wrote without citations because you are dealing with multiple sources within sentences body/paragraphs…. (always cite within the sentence body or cite at the end of sentence with authors’ last names..year of publication, {and page number if quoting})…
If citing an author(s) for the first time in sentence body, cite full names and ALL OF THEM if dealing with multiple authors along with year of publication..afterwards/subsequently cite last names of all authors and year of publication…
USE quotes sparingly (LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, like less than 3 quotes per page, and do not make them long).. rather I prefer you to  paraphrase in your own words what the author(s) conveying and cite them in parenthetical citations or in body sentence.. remember it is best to cite often within a Literature review section even if repeatedly mentioning them!  
See Sample paper attached below to use as a visual blueprint guide on how to construct/complete final paper from beginning to end including format style (apa/apsa).. and there is an additional source to offer further info if needed.. but the sample paper will be your best guide for this final paper submission (*keep in mind that the length of the literature review section in the sample paper is a bit short, but make sure your final paper’s literature review section is 5 pages or over in length) 
Copy/paste answers and modify/extend etc according to my suggested comments and feedback’s from your graded hw 2 and 3.. For example, from hw 2, questions 1 and 11 will go at beginning of literature review section.  From hw 2, questions 2 and 3 are theory and hypothesis that goes into the theory/hypothesis section of final paper (assignment 4). From hw 2, questions 4-10 will go into the analysis section of hw 4 (final paper while also including a second hypothesis of the control maybe, mention what kind of statistical regression would like to run, although you will not be running any experiments/will not be any interpretation of data, follow the analysis section from the official sample paper…).  From hw 3, the literature review goes in the literature review section as have to modify in essay style if haven’t done so and the references go at the end under references page in final paper (hw 4).  
The Conclusion section will be a short summary of expectations , disappointments, what you learned, or hoped will happen in the future etc.. 
FINAL PAPER’S Chronological ORDERING: cover title page, literature Review subheading/section (5 pages min length REQUIRED for this section and must use scholarly sources), Theory/Hypothesis subheading/section (.5-1 page), analysis subheading/section (.5-1 page), Conclusion subheading/section (.5-1 page), and References page (8 min. scholarly sources put in alphabetical ordering and in APA/APSA format).  Overall total length of final paper could range from 7 or more pages 
I have attatched examples, as well as sources that I have already gathered that must be used.
