researcher-identity-memo

During learning module 3 you will submit your Researcher Identity Memo. Submit your assignment using this link in the Assignment section of our course.

The Researcher Identity Memo is a formal statement of your personal research philosophy and paradigm. The content of learning modules 1-3 will provide the background needed to compose this statement. In this 2-3 page statement you are to explain how you identify yourself as a researcher in the larger research community. What philosophical base underpins your identity and from what paradigm(s) do you operate? In-text cited course materials must be used to support your position.
