methodology. I submit this research proposal for your review and approval
Introduction
This project will be about how to find the key you need to open the door to the field
of kinesiology and to be an excellent well-rounded student. I will discuss the
discipline of Kinesiology in this research proposal and give you the best possible
acquired information by using ethnographical method. I believe this project is
worthy of your time because you will collect the right amount of understanding and
information you need to be the perfect student in the field of kinesiology. I intend
for you to accomplish a good understanding of the discipline of kinesiology.

Literature Review/Background
The idea my project is associated with are the ones having to do with kinesiology
and the understanding of it.
These are my secondary research questions and these questions are effective for my
investigation because they will take me on the path towards becoming the distinct
student I need to be when it comes to majoring in kinesiology.
What else can I do to strengthen my experience while I am pursuing my degree in
kinesiology?
What type of hands on practice will I have to know? How much will I need to have
to be a successful student in the discipline of kinesiology?
What type of job will I gain after thoroughly studying kinesiology?
What kinds of writing do you have to do in the field of kinesiology?
Dr. George King from UTEP has explored these Ideas in specifically the way I am and
need to explore them.

Procedure/Methodology
Interviews:
I will be interviewing Dr. George King, Associate Professor in Kinesiology and
Associate Dean for College of Health Science.
To complete my project I plan to interview the professor the first week of October
and gain an insiders answer.
This is the following inquiry: If you could change anything in the Kinesiology
department, what would it be?
Surveys:
How many people: A minimum of 50 UTEP Students.
Date: First week of October.

Conclusion
As a freshman in college I assure you I am hungry and crave for all information
having to do with my major, being Kinesiology. I will overfeed you particulars and I
will have you crying out the word Kinesiology. I can and will personally implant a
chip in your brain that only responds to the word kinesiology. I know I will be
successful and bring enough to the table.
