Title: Competency Assessment: (CU2 M1) Analytical Report Proposal
Course: SkillsCom WR 227 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 2 Module 1 Formal Proposals and the Research Process

Directions:

Now that your research topic has been approved, prepare a formal proposal detailing the topic you've chosen, and the purpose of your final analytical report. Be sure to review the examples, outlines, guidelines, and checklists for formal proposals in your eText and throughout this Module.

Include the following elements in your proposal:

- Informative Title
- Introduction/background
- Statement of Problem
- Preliminary information from your research
- Objective(s)
- Scope
- Conclusion
- Bibliography

This paper is expected to be no more than 3 - 4 pages in APA format. Your bibliography should include any sources that you used to prepare your proposal and should be properly cited in the body of your proposal, using appropriate APA formatting for both in-text citations and the bibliography. These sources do not have to be all encompassing, just enough to provide context and references in your preliminary findings. You will have the opportunity in the next Module to locate, compile, and summarize your research more extensively.
