RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
Directions: The Research Portfolio will be developed and discussed in class throughout the semester. Purchase a binder (or create a digital document, but keep hard copies) of all materials created for or obtained as the result of your research for the Semester Research Project. This portfolio must accompany submission of the Final Research Paper.
You will maintain a portfolio of research notes and all study-based materials (consent forms, interview guide, etc.) beginning with the process of topic selection and proposal development. You will submit the complete portfolio at the end of the semester. The portfolio should be organized (e.g., one section for interview guides, one section for consent forms, one section for transcriptions and/or notes) and the information in it easily located.
