Objective:

To create a PowerPoint that could be used communicate the design of a program evaluation or intervention research study. The focus of this assignment is to convey the essential structure of your Research Proposal. While you will prepare and submit the proposal in PowerPoint you will not have to give a presentation during the course.

PowerPoint:

Each student is asked to prepare the Research Proposal in PowerPoint. The focus of the presentation should be to provide a comprehensive and cogent overview of the purposes of the project.
