Research Design: Students will prepare an 8-10 page research design/proposal. The design will
review the literature on a political science topic of the student’s choosing,
review the existing research on that topic,
formulate a research question (hypothesis), and
outline the steps that might be taken to provide an answer for that question (test the hypothesis).
