Prospectus Draft Submission Assignment
Details:
Over the last few courses, you have
been developing your dissertation research prospectus from your 10 Key
Strategic Points document. At this point, you should have a preliminary draft
of your prospectus that integrates an abbreviated version of your literature
review into the introduction to the prospectus. Your prospectus should include
all components listed in the “Prospectus Review Checklist,” and the
“Prospectus Template” should be followed explicitly to organize
formatting and content. This assignment is another opportunity for you to
receive feedback on your progress to date. You will continue to work on your
prospectus throughout this course by implementing feedback received on this
assignment. Another submission of a more polished prospectus will be due later
in this course. Additionally, continue to expand and improve upon your
literature review, including the theoretical foundations that have been
established for your specific topic, as the entire literature review will be
included in your dissertation proposal to be submitted in subsequent courses.
