This assignment is a continuation of Assignment 4 and the purpose of this assignment is not to require you to conduct an actual project for pursuing a thesis or project but to guide you on how to write a proposal. If you are not clear about the assignment and have questions, post them on the Discussion Forum as soon as possible. Read the instructions below fully before starting the assignment. For the problem you have chosen and the literature you had collected Homework 4, complete the following: 1. On top of your answer for this assignment, include your one-sentence problem statement so that it will be easy to know your chosen problem for grading purposes. If any corrections were indicated in your problem statement, make those necessary corrections in this assignment. 2. Classify the 10 or more literature sources you had collected for Assignment 4 into appropriate meaningful (not arbitrary) categories (say at least 3 or 4 or morecategories) with more than one literature source in each category, and prepare a Literature Review Table as explained in the presentation on Literature Reviews. The table should be formatted consistently! 3. Prepare an outline (not paragraphs or sections) to summarize the literature sources. The outline should begin with some bullets to introduce the topic of the literature review and the categories of the literature sources collected. Then each literature category should have its own main bullet, and the sub-bullets underneath the main bullet must summarize a literature source and end with the in-text citation of that source. The last main bullet and its sub-bullets should be on justifying the need for the proposed project. Do not blindly copy the sample outline included with this assignment but write your own outline for your proposed problem. 4. Include the List of References at the end (after the outline). The in-text citations in the Literature Review Table and the outline bullets, and the references in the List of References must follow APA citation style. If any mistakes were indicated in your list of references in Homework 4, make sure to correct them in this assignment. 5.

There must be one blank line between references and set spacing Before and After to 0 pt and Line Spacing to Single-Spacing. Proofread and spell-check your work thoroughly.
