really stressing out about TESC lib arts capstone, in progress

My old syllabus is the same as this one. Research papers allow for secondary sources. However, there is no question about it from your PM that you are being guided into an Applied Project. The way you wrote your Chapter 1 may have left that impression with your "facilitator". If you did not get a choice, we need to know.

But, I don't get the general impression that you fully understand what a Qualitative Research paper entails. It's not at all like writing the usual expository paper. Perhaps you will be better off just going with your Applied Project, following all your prof's instructions.
