Document Summary
Format for a mixed methods proposal: the researcher brings together approaches included under quantitative and qualitative formats. Designing the sections of a proposal: tips for students, specify sections early in the design of the proposal. Develop an outline: find proposal authored by other students. As your adviser for copies of proposals that he/she liked: look into courses on proposal development, ask adviser for his/her preferred format. Writing as thinking: early in the process, write ideas down rather than talk about them. This helps the reader to visualize the final product: work through several drafts of a proposal rather than polishing the first draft, iterative approach write, review and rewrite, do not edit proposal at the early draft stage. Franklin (1986) three stage model: develop an outline, write out a draft and then shift and sort ideas, edit and polish each sentence.
