The project will include a section presenting an overview of the problem being examined, a review of related literature, a research methodology appropriate for the problem and context, a critical analysis of the ethical considerations, a critical analysis of individual and cultural concerns surrounding the project, a critical analysis of the project with recommendation for further action or future research, and all supplemental materials needed to implement the ARP(implementation of the project is not required for graduation) . The ARPs final format will be specific to the individual project.  (1 credit)
