Liberal Arts Capstone LIB-495 August 2018 Term

[Nodaclu]

I think most of us have had a breakdown during chapter 2! The answer is a little different for each type of capstone project. If you are conducting research it looks something like this:

Chapter 2 is a review of the existing research on your topic. Find a couple of primary sources and a couple of secondary sources that are in the same theme as your paper and report on what the findings were. Try to find something that is in the same vein as each of your sub-questions because you are going to have to refer back to the ch 2 findings and weigh it against your own findings in chapter 5.

Chapter 3 is a discussion of the methodologies you are going to use to conduct your own research. Are you going to conduct surveys, compare opposing views of scholars, observe a plant grow... This chapter lays out your plans for how you will gather information and how you will evaluate your findings. Your actual research is conducted between chapter 3 and chapter 4. In chapter 4 you report on your findings. In chapter 5 you compare your findings to the existing research in chapter 2 and discuss the results.

Thank you so much for this! On one hand, I'm grateful because you've definitely clarified things for me.

On the other hand, I'm now terrified. Because now that I understand the structure, I think I misunderstood the original purpose of the Capstone, and as a result, I posed a primary question that doesn't appear to have any solid research behind it.

Here is my primary question:

From a psycho-physiological perspective, what is the difference between a habit and addiction?

There are numerous "regular" links as I search through Google, but basically nothing in Google Scholar. Am I going to have to go back and revise my primary question??
