I certify that I have carefully reviewed the university’s academic misconduct policy. I understand that the source of ideas must be referenced and that quotation marks and a reference are required when directly quoting anyone else’s words.

Note that you are permitted to change your research question and hypothesis as your research project develops over the semester. If you make changes you should note, however, that you will need to update your conceptual model, hypothesis, theoretical constructs and proxy measures accordingly. Although these not assessed directly, your submission in Task 2 and Task 3 will be evaluated in the context of your stated conceptual model etc.

Introduction:

What is your research problem?

Literature Review

Provide your summary of the theoretical argument leading to the conceptual model with theoretical constructs clearly identified.

Conceptual Model:

Provide a diagram to show the relationships between the key theoretical constructs. This may have changed from Task 1 and should be updated to be consistent with the remainder of this assessment item.

Hypotheses:

Indicate your hypotheses – they will be assessed in your Assessment Task 1 for ACC620.

Data Collection

Complete the spreadsheet and submit it separately.

Data Analysis - Descriptive:
