Based on what you have learned from summarizing empirical papers, propose a way to research the topic you chose at the beginning of the term. Describe how your research question could be tested with an experiment or other method such as a survey. If you find out that your original question has already been conclusively answered, you can use a related question instead. Who would be the participants? What would be the procedure? What would your hypothesis be? If you are proposing an experiment, what would be the independent and dependent variables?
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
