PART 1: Trustworthiness

Describe the steps you will take to ensure the rigor and quality of your research. For this Qualitative Case Study, explain how you will assess credibility, transferability, andconsistency.

PART 2: Limitations

What are the unavoidable circumstances that may limit the generalizability or transferability of your study? For a qualitative study, an example of a limitation might be whether subjects give truthful responses in interviews and in open-ended survey responses. Please also include any ways you can reduce or mitigate one or more of your identified limitations.

PART 3 Delimitations

Delimitations have to do with potential issues of generalizability or transferability of the study results outside of the boundary conditions the researcher imposed. For example, the current study's findings

may not generalize/transfer to other study subjects, other locations, or future time periods.
