Introduction Comment by Brenda: Add more information
about yourself. In addition, elaborate on how this project will
prepare you for employment. Grammar/Punctuation errors. All
errors were not cited.
I am an information technology student with a major in
Information Assurance. Upon the completion of my course, my
profession will be a Java developer. As a Java developer, my
job description entails the design, development and
implementation of Java applications that are web-based to meet
business needs and requirements. Other duties and
responsibilities include the testing and coding of programs
alongside resolving technical issues in Java applications
through debugging and coding among other duties and
responsibilities. As a professional Java developer, my primary
goal is to utilise the skills and knowledge learned during my
course duration to create value for the society.
Value in this sense is through the design, development and
creation of web-based Java applications that facilitate
effectiveness and efficiency in the society’s activities. My
societal area of specialization will be the corporate world,
through which I seek to facilitate web-based transactions that
entail Java applications such as E-commerce, E-learning and E-
healthcare among others. Other than the creation of value for
the society, I also seek to improve the quality of Java
applications by establishing and correcting any loopholes and
weaknesses in web-based java applications through continuous
research.
I also aim at broadening the existing knowledge with regard to
web-based Java applications by conducting research on deeper
aspects of Java programming where much research hasn’t been
done yet. These include Batman.js and Knockout.js frameworks
which are MVVM frameworks programmed in pure JavaScript. I
also seek to use the knowledge and skills learned from my
course to make effective decisions that demonstrate an
understanding of the integration of computing with other
disciplines such as ethics, production and organizational

management among others (Bruegge & Dutoit, 2004).
Comment by Brenda: When you use abbreviations, you are
to provide an explanation.
In order to achieve the above stated objectives, I will
primarily be required to find employment. The core reason as to
why employment will be detrimental towards the achievement
of my goals is the platform it offers towards my interaction with
the society. As a graduate, I lack the resource to create a
positive impact in the society. However by getting employment,
I am able to utilise my employer’s resources to impact the
society positively. An example of this is the design,
development and creation of effective and efficient web-based
java applications.
In addition, it’s only through employment that I would be able
to effectively interact with other professionals in the Java
development industry. Through an interaction with other
professionals in the Java development industry will research
and improvement in web-based Java applications be effective
and efficient. The other most significant aspect in meeting my
goals is the acquisition of professional experience. This is
because it is only through experience that one is able to identify
relative shortcomings and aspects of Java that require additional
research. Based on this, it is evident that the identification of a
process that is aimed at securing employment will be critical
towards the attainment of my goals and objectives.
The multi-disciplinary approach used in making effective
decisions which incorporate all other disciplines is only
effective in the work place since an organization has various
policies alongside numerous departments. Through employment,
I will be able to work with various organizational departments
thus make sound decisions that incorporate various disciplines
through both the policies and departments (Gong, 2014).

Methodology
Action research can be defined as learning through action and is
thus different from ordinary research. Action research is

cooperative and multidisciplinary in nature since it entails the
integration of more than one individual in effectively resolving
a problem. Also, referred to as participatory research, action
learning, emancipatory research and collaborative research
among others, action research entails the process of problem
identification and resolving by a group of professionals. The
multidisciplinary effort applied in conducting action research
ensures that the research attains optimum results. In the event
that the researchers feel that the research has not yielded
satisfactory research, the research is conducted repeatedly until
an optimum and satisfactory outcome is achieved. Comment by
Brenda: Not true. Reword
Other than the multidisciplinary approach and repetitive nature
of action research, there are other several attributes that are
used in differentiating it from common problem solving
techniques involved in ordinary researches. The primary aim of
action research is contributing to the society’s practical
concerns while simultaneously furthering scientific objectives.
The twin objective is the primary reason for collaboration and
repetitive action towards the attainment of desirable outcomes.
The multidisciplinary and holistic nature of action research
ensures flexibility and swiftness in tackling problems.
According to Kemmis, McTaggart and Retallick (2004), action
research can be defined as a cyclical research process that
entails four key stages namely, plan, act, observe and reflect.
These four key stages are the building block for utilisation of
action research and differentiate it from other basic researches.
Action research is utilised in real life situations rather than
basic research which is utilised in contrived researches and
experimental studies since its primary aim is solving real life
issues. However, action research can still be utilised in pilot
researches by social scientists in the event that the situation
may be too ambiguous to frame precise research issues
(Kemmis, McTaggart & Retallick, 2004).
With regard to my research question, the attainment of my
goals as a Java developer, the holistic and multidisciplinary

nature of action research ensures that the objective is relevant
to the profession. While using contrived researches and
experimental studies, there is a high likelihood of objective
irrelevance due to my lack of professional experience. However,
the inclusion of relative professionals in formulating my
objectives due to the principles of action research ensures that
different relative stakeholders are involved hence ensuring that
the objectives remain relevant (Dyckhoff et al., 2013).
Action research also facilitates optimization of the stated
objectives. The holistic and multidisciplinary nature of action
research analyses and contribute to the objectives from different
perspectives thus ensuring the attainment of optimum
objectives. The repetitive nature of action research also ensures
that the researcher optimizes on the objectives. This is because
research is repeated until the outcome satisfies the various
parties involved in the event that prior researches are
unsatisfactory.
On the other hand, action research is also significant in
sharpening the researcher’s professional practical skills. This is
primarily attributed to the proactive nature of action research
which emphasizes on learning through action. By practically
meeting my objectives, I have higher chances of developing my
practical skills. In the event that I make a mistake on any aspect
of the objectives with regard to my professional career , other
professionals involved in the action research will see to it that
everything goes on smoothly by correcting me. Since action
research focuses on a wide area of research, my knowledge and
skills also tend to improve as a result of utilising action
research unlike in the use of contrived research (Dyckhoff et
al., 2013).
The use of action research by a Java developer towards the
fulfilment of personal objectives facilitates on job efficiency
and effectiveness. This is because the Java developer acquir es
additional skills and knowledge as a result of action research
which will be critical in one’s professional career. This is
because the Java developer acquires diverse perspectives to a

problem which facilitates the ease of solving and on job
efficiency. The use of action research by a java developer
towards the fulfilment of personal objectives also enables the
Java developer to make optimum decisions with regard to
his/her objectives. This is attributed to the multidisciplinary
nature of action research which incorporates other disciplines.
As a result, decisions made factor various aspects of the
objectives related to the disciplines such as legal, ethical,
economic and social among others. The incorporation of various
disciplines ensures that an individual makes optimum decisions
which factor in different disciplines. These optimum decisions
are efficient and effective in the corporate world thus hence
promoting positive productivity from both individual and
organizational perspectives. Action research used towards the
fulfilment of personal goals by a Java developer also enhances
dynamism in the developer’s objectives. This is attributed to the
flexible nature of action research in solving problems.
Dynamism is detrimental in today’s environment due to the
dynamic nature of today’s business environment. The dynamism
of my objectives due to the utilisation of action research
ensures that these objectives are able to change with respect
environmental changes. Dynamism ensures that the objectives
are not rendered obsolete in case of changes in the external
environment but instead change with respect to environmental
changes (Raman et al., 2012).

your project? You have basic information in this section.

GUIDELINES
ON
HOW
TO
WRITE
YOUR
RESEARCH
PAPER
1.
Respecting
instructions
Make
sure
your
essay
fulfills
the
requirements
as
laid
out
in

the
syllabus
in
terms
of:
• Number
of
words/length.
• Deadline.
• Way
of
submission
(
hard
copy
or/and
electronically)
Some
standard
practices
are
to
number
your
pages,
NOT
print
your
essay
double--‐ sided

and
use
at
least
1.5
spacing
and
a
sufficiently
big,
legible
font.
Do
not
forget
to
give
a
title
to
your
paper:
it
can
be
the
research
question
if
it
is
not
too

long
or
a
shorter
version
of
it
or
a
classic
title.
2.
Important
points
--‐ Your
paper
should
be
structured
and
present
a
coherent
argument.
A
basic
structure
contains:

o An
Introduction:
The
Introduction
serves
to
introduce
what
you
are
writing
about:
present
your
research
question
and
emphasize
its
relevance,
clarify
any
definitions
if
needed
and
announce
an
outline

(without
spoiling
too
much,
think
of
it
as
a
teaser).
Ideally,
it
should
constitute
around
10%
of
the
essay.
To
sum
up,
the
introduction
introduces
the
topic,
presents
your
main
argument
and
the

structure
of
your
essay.
o Body
of
research
paper:
--‐ The
core
of
your
essay
should
reflect
the
structure/arguments
announced
in
the
introduction.
--‐ Develop
your
argument
in

a
systematic
and
logical
way.
Each
section
depends
on
its
predecessor
and
provides
a
bridge
to
what
follows.
Each
paragraph
begins
with
a
lead
sentence
that
introduces
the
idea
that
is
then
supported

by
the
rest
of
the
paragraph.
Use
connectors
as
signposts
for
the
reader
to
show
how
your
arguments/parts
of
your
essay
are
linked.
It
is
usually
better
to
dedicate
one
(and
only
one)
argument

per
paragraph.
--‐
The
arguments
should
be
specific,
focused
and
concrete
enough.
Your
claims
should
be
plausible,
factually
accurate,
backed--‐ up
with
references
and
directly
relevant
to
the

argument
and
the
question
asked.
Do
not
use
vague
sentences
that
are
unclear
and/or
contribute
nothing
to
the
argument.
Do
not
take
anything
for
granted
and
clearly
lay
out,
systematically,
the
definitions
and

concepts
that
allow
you
to
make
your
claims.
Be
explicit.
Make
an
effort
to
address
all
sides
of
an
argument.
Try
to
make
a
sophisticated
argument
by
introducing
nuances,
conditionality,
probability
and
categories,

or
by
focusing
on
certain
mechanisms
or
processes.
--‐ Be
careful
to
use
quotations
wisely
and
sparingly.
Embed
quotations
in
the
text
and
do
not
forget
to
provide
the
full
and
exact
references
(with

the
page).
For
long
quotations,
use
indention.
--‐ Proofread
your
text.
Sloppy
orthography
decreases
your
credibility.
Give
priority
to
an
effective
writing
style.
Do
not
get
stuck
on
syntax
and
cut
to

the
chase.
Do
not
form
long
run--‐ on
sentences
that
pack
in
too
many
arguments.
Do
not
unnecessarily
repeat
yourself.
--‐
Ideally,
your
argument
should
be
analytical,
coherent,
complete,
logical
and
systematic.

This
is
usually
reflected
in
the
nice
flow
of
the
paper.
--‐ Avoid
descriptions/summaries/paraphrases.
Your
work
should
be
analytical.
--‐ Take
issue
with
authors,
mobilize
your
critical
skills.
--‐ Length:

80%
of
the
essay
approximately.
o Conclusion:
Refer
back
to
the
initial
question
and
quickly
re--‐ state
your
argument.
At
this
point
you
should
be
able
to
provide
an
answer

to
your
research
question.
Do
not
introduce
new
ideas/concepts/arguments/examples
in
the
conclusion.
The
conclusion
pulls
together
the
strands
of
your
argument
in
a
sophisticated
way
so
the
reader
is
satisfied
that
you
have

treated
the
subject
in
a
complete
fashion.
Ideally,
represents
10%
of
the
Essay.
Overall,
your
paper
should
answer
the
research
question.
It
should
be
clear,

coherent,
logical,
well
structured
and
well
argued.

Why Women Join Terrorists Groups
Definitions and Concepts of Terrorism
Terrorism can be defined in a number of ways depending on
various points of view.
According to the United States Department of Defense, it is the
calculated use of unlawful
violence to cause fear with the purpose to coerce or intimidate
governments or societies in
pursuit of general political, religious, or ideological agendas
(O'Kane 2007). In this definition,
violence, intimidation, and fear are key elements that produce
terror among victims. According
to the FBI, terrorism is the unlawful use of force, violence, or
property against people to
intimidate or coerce a government or civilian population of any
segment thereof to further
political or social objectives (Du Mont 2002). The United
Nations (UN) defines terrorism as
premeditated politically-motivated violence that is spread
against non-combatant targets by sub-

national groups or underground agents intended to affect an
audience. The desire to revenge for
atrocities that are committed against their loved ones appears to
be a significant motivation for
women joining terror groups in modern society.
Terrorism has three perspectives-a victim, a terrorist, and the
general public. While
terrorists do not see themselves as evil, victims perceive them
as criminal combatants who are
ready to attain their goals by whatever means possible. On the
other hand, the views of the
general public are unstable and are different from one
community to another. According to Pillar
(2001), four elements are common in all the government
definitions. He argues that these
elements are pre-mediation, political motivation, targets being
noncombatants, and perpetrators
being sub-national or clandestine agents.

Motivations of Women to Support Terrorism
Comprehending a woman carrying out a terror attack is
difficult. According to Alexander
and Finger (1997), terrorism is a response to frustrations of
various personal needs as well as
economic and political objectives. Many women join terrorist
groups due to ideologies, grief or
revenge for loss, financial hardships, personal or family shame,
and protection of self or their
families.
First, wives, mothers, and daughters are much more affected
emotionally, physically, and
financially after losing dominant male figures in their lives. In
most cases, such losses are
perceived as an injustice that motivates them to find
collaborations in terrorist groups with an
intention to revenge.
Second, women's commitment to an ideological cause is similar
to those of their male
counterparts (Blee 2005). In most cases, women terrorists claim

to fight for freedom of the
oppressed and marginalized communities. It is the desire to
make significant improvements to
the current environments that drives them to join terrorism.
Third, women terrorists have a desire to improve their social
statuses. When they gain
equality with their male counterparts, they try to find chances
where they can prove the equality
(Fighting for God: Motivations and aims of religious terrorists
2003). Advancements of women,
such as the ability to attend school, maintain a job, and receive
medical attention, are just a few
of the motivations.
Fourth, financial hardships as a result of a death of the
breadwinner may make women
join terrorist groups with the aim of making up for this loss.

Fifth, women may join extremist groups due to personal or
family shame caused by
disrespect of their acquaintances. Forced marriages or rapes
may motivate females to become
suicide bombers to clean themselves as understood by a given
culture (Pedahzur 2006).
Lastly, women may participate in terrorist groups to protect
themselves or their families.
History of Women Participation in Terrorism
Throughout history, women have participated in political
violent actions of the
insurgency, rebellion, and terrorism. One good example is
Boudica and Joan of Arc, who
collaborated to revolt against the Roman occupation (Hammond
2005). In the Russian revolution
and anticolonial resistance in India, Algeria, and Israeli, women
were involved. By the 1960s and
1970s, women had been introduced to terrorism in a modern
sense as they joined leftist and
nationalist organizations across the world. In the United States
and Europe, right-wing groups,
such as Ku Klux Klan (KKK), actively recruited women. In the
1990s and from 2000, the

involvement of women in Jihad and Islamist terrorist
organizations increased rapidly.
Before the 1970s, academic literature on terrorism was almost
non-existent. Since the rise
of violent leftist groups, a lot of research has then been done.
However, certain areas are largely
not explored (de Leede 2014). Studies on the research of
women’s participation in terrorism are
lacking despite the estimations that 30% of the world's terrorists
are women.
Methods and Approaches in Counter Terrorism
In the world, countering terrorism has amounted to substantial
governments’ efforts.
Between 2001 and 2011, the US alone has allocated more than
$1 trillion. Various countries
have increased awareness on counterterrorism and have
embarked on assessing their
effectiveness (Beyer 2010). Measures, such as freezing the
assets of terrorists, have assisted in

controlling the spread and action of terror groups. Apart from
the legal approaches, other
strategies to counter terrorism include hardening the targets of
terrorists, commanding and
controlling all security responses, damage mitigation, beefing
up local security, and ensuring that
medical services are adequate if such attacks take place.
Just like their male counterparts, women terrorists have
motivations to participate in the
vice. Although some of the motivations are common to both
genders, others are more specific to
women. Roles played by women in terror groups are almost
similar to those of male
counterparts. However, the latter stand a better chance of
successfully conducting terror attacks
as they are less suspected. In addition, their presence in terrorist
groups helps keep the men
composed. As the trend appears, the participation of women in
terror groups increases gradually.
From the research conducted, the confidence that terrorist group
leaders have on women has

increased (Hammond 2005). Thus, other women are forced to
join groups with conditional offers
and threats.
From the discussion, there are many reasons that motivate
women to support or join
terrorist groups. At times, a number of motivations combine in
the drive of females into
terrorism. Since some of them are very committed, they actively
participate in their roles and
lead successful terrors attacks. Such success is highly spread
through the media, which only
results in more participation of women in terror groups.

AR topics are very specific, so you will most likely need to
generalize your topics. For example, if your AR project
involves collecting business requirements for a new system, you
may not find academic research about collecting business
requirements for a new system. You will be able to find
research about business requirements and process change, 6-8
pages, minimum of eight (8) professional references
· Proposal – this is your plan
· Briefly summarize (a paragraph or two for) each of the
proposed (AR) iteration (at least 4 iterations)

Action Research Project Overview
The non-portfolio or non-internship action research project
involves actively researching a current technological problem or
issue. The problem or issue can be internal or external to a
business; however, the research requires fieldwork. This
project’s duration must be at least eight weeks (four, two-week
iterations of at least 40 hours of activity per iteration).
Introduction Overview

The introduction, as the minimum, is one to two pages long and
should not have an APA heading. The introduction must
include:
· A brief history/background of the business if the problem
involves a business or the background support for your
technological problem or issue if the problem does not involve a
business
· A discussion about the circumstances of the situation that you
plan to improve or change
· You may want to discuss, ‘what is wrong or deficient…and
why you think making changes will result in improvements.
Include why the improvement is of value to you (the
stakeholder)
· Refer to the assignment on Blackboard for additional
assignment criteria
Methodology
The methodology section of the paper, as a minimum, is two to
three pages long. Essentially, this section is a mini-research
paper defining and explaining the Action Research (AR)
Methodology including its application to technology research.
The methodology paper must include:
· Five (5) professional (subject matter experts) or scholarly
references
· A discussion about the history of AR and application/uses
along with its applicability to researching technology issues
· A transitional paragraph at the end of the section describing
how AR is an appropriate methodology for the research you are
doing
assignment criteria
Literature Review

A literature review is a research paper about your topic.
This section, as the minimum, is three to four pages long using
a themed (topic sections) presentation approach with as much
detail as possible. Depending on your topic, specific examples
or literary support may be difficult to find. You may need to
use a surrogate (somewhat related) topic in order to complete
the literature review. For example, improving the ‘needs
assessment’ process in organization XYZ may not yield research
results, so you will need to generalize the topic. Generalizing
the topic could may require examining research on the value of
need assessments, the processes associated with needs
assessment, or how to a conduct needs assessment.
The literature review section/paper must include:
· At least eight (8) professional (subject matter expert) and/or
scholarly references
assignment criteria
Proposal
The proposal section contains a high-level overview of your
project as laid out in a minimum of four iterations. Each
iteration should represent approximately two weeks, with a
minimum of 40 hours of activity in each iteration.
Do not try to layout your full plan at this point, keep this
to one or two paragraphs for each iteration description. At this
point, you should focus on the big picture.
Hypothetical situation…Let’s say your proposal deals with
improving the ‘needs assessment’ process in organization XYZ.
You know the process is weak and requires improvement, but do
not know what the weak points are or how to correct them. You
assume you will need the following iterations:Iteration 1
In iteration 1, you anticipate two or three brainstorming
sessions with representatives from each of the three divisions
with each session last a maximum of two hours. The session
discussions will include identifying current process flow, a gap

analysis, gathering process requirements, and communication
flow. In addition, the iteration will include compiling,
analyzing, and reporting the results of each brainstorming
session. At this point you can go into a little more detail but
not too much…keep this statement to one or two paragraphs.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.Iteration 2
You expect there will be several one-hour follow up session
with each of the division representatives to discuss the outcome
of the brainstorming session, clarify information, and gather
more detail about their division’s requirements. Again keep
this to one or two paragraphs, I encourage you to focus on the
big picture.
This iteration will be a two-hour follow-up meeting with the
three division representatives to discuss identified common
requirements, possible integration of requirements, and
discussion of how unique requirements will be managed at the
division level. The researcher will manage common and
integrated requirements, and the appropriate division must
manage unique requirements. At the conclusion of this meeting,
the division representatives will be tasked with formulating a
solution for all unique requirements.
You need to fully analyze the feedback concerning the
requirements from each of the divisions. Then, document a
final process to collect ‘needs’ from each of the divisions,
A final two-hour meeting is needed to present the new process.
Copies of the new process will be provided to each division.
for an iteration.

A figure, see Figure 1, showing at least four iterations of your
Action Research project’s flow must appear at the end of your
proposal. The figure shown here should be used as a template
for the information needed in the figure. Remember to revise
the information in each of the Iteration number blocks!
Figure 1. Iteration flow diagram
Iteration 1 – (Your Title Here) Plan
The plan section, as a minimum, is one page long, must describe
all YOUR planned activities needed to accomplish your first
iteration, and must represent approximately two weeks, or a
minimum of 40 hours, of activity. THE PLAN HAS TO BE
WRITTEN BEFORE ANY ACTION TAKES PLACE!!!
The plan must include:
· Description of each anticipated task for the iteration
· Description of the resources needed to accomplish each task
· Identification of people involved in each task
· The anticipated duration of each task
· The expected result or results from each task
Answering all the typical questions of Who, What, Where,
When, Why, and How for each task in the plan will provide a
good foundation for an effective plan. For example, you are
planning meetings; who should be invited and why, what
topic(s) will be discussed, what is the purpose of the meeting or
what do you intend to achieve, where is the meeting’s location,
when is the meeting, and why is this meeting important.
Moreover, what are the expected results from the meeting and
how do you intend on achieving the results.
If you develop an agenda for the meeting, either the agenda or
the contents of the agenda would normally be included as part
of the plan.

Suggestion: Take extra time in developing a detailed Plan
following the SMART Methodology, if you list five items in
your plan, and then you carry those five elements into each
activity for comments. For example, in the Plan you say ‘you
plan on completing internet research’, then in the Action - you
discuss the internet research, in the Outcomes - you list any
specific outcomes or analysis resulting from the internet
research, and then in the Reflections -you reflect on what you
learned as a result of the internet research. The plan sets the
stage for the entire iteration.
THIS IS THE PLAN!!!
Action
The action section, as the minimum, is one page long and
must represent approximately two weeks, or a minimum of 40
hours, of activity.
This section must describe the activities that actually took place
during the iteration, but most importantly, the section must
describe YOUR actions/activities during the iteration. For
example, your actions included a brainstorming session; who
attended (and who did not), was the agenda followed, were there
additional items for discussion added, or did the agenda take the
meeting in a different direction and what was the duration of the
meeting. In some instances, this may be very similar to the
meeting minutes.
Contact reporting.
Any action(s) involving personal communications (e.g., an
informal meeting, a hallway discussion or conversation, a
telephone call, text message, etc.) used as part of your research
requires documentation of the participants. This means you
must provide the first and last name, email address, phone
number, address, and the employer’s name of each person

involved in the personal communication. See Appendix A for
the contact reporting form. Failure to disclose any or all the
contact information may result in your inability to use the
personal communication as part of your action research.
Observation
This section, as the minimum, is one page long and must
represent approximately two weeks, or a minimum of 40 hours,
of activity
Observations must include the analysis and outcomes or results
of all actions/activities in the iteration with a focus on the
analysis and outcomes or results from YOUR actions/activities.
For example, your brainstorming session included documenting
the information presented by each participant (the action). The
observation or outcome from this action would be providing a
list of all the brainstorming results or latent feedback from each
participant. Additionally, you should include any analysis that
would occur because of the brainstorming.
Reflection
The reflection section, as a minimum, is one page long and must
represent approximately two weeks, or a minimum of 40 hours,
of activity.
This section is the most important section of your action
research paper. The iteration’s reflection section must:
· Examine what went well
· Examine what did not go well
· Explain what actions/processes could be improved
· Provide a self-critique yourself as well as the processes you
are applying
· Provide a critique of processes you applied during the
iteration
· Identify any restrictions, limitations, and risks associated with
the iteration and task accomplishment
· For example, if one of the key participant was not available to
attend the brainstorming session, you may want to think about

how you will meet and gather information from that person
(especially if the information is important to the process)
Iteration 2 – (Your Title Here)
Hypothetical example - one on one interview sessions
The Plan would address the - who, what, where, when, why, and
how regarding all three of the divisions. Since you would be
interviewing three different division representatives, you would
create one plan, but have three actions, three observations and
possibly three reflections (or one reflection that addresses
thoughts about each of the interviews). So it may look like:Plan
The plan may include a one page description of the division
representatives (may want to include specific influence),
anticipated questions or dialogue, as well as justification why
along with the meeting schedule (where, when, how long)Action
The action section could include a page detailing the interview
of each representative (e.g., one page with the interview of the
Operations representative, one page of the interview with the
Data/Telecom representative, and one page with the interview
of the HR representative)Observation
The observation section could include a page detailing the
interview of each representative (e.g., one page with the
interview outcomes from the Operations representative, one
page with the interview outcomes from the Data/Telecom
representative, and one page with the interview outcomes from
the HR representative)
Reflection
The reflection section should include your perspective of all
three meetings:
· Examine what went well
· Examine what did not go well
· Explain what actions/processes could be improved
· Provide a self-critique yourself as well as the processes you
are applying
· Provide a critique of processes you applied during the

iteration
· Identify any restrictions, limitations, and risks associated with
the iteration and task accomplishment
The Action Research Project requires completing at least four,
two-week iterations or approximately 40 days of research.
Reflective Statement
The last component of your action research paper is a reflective
learning statement encompassing your complete experience.
The statement must present two aspects of your research. First,
the statement must summarize your experiences during the
process and, second, the statement must summarize your overall
learning during the process. Be sure to include any specific
achievements.
