Question

From your experience (observable events), develop a list of 8 to 10 topics of interest around your field of study. Using the NCU library, locate peer-reviewed journal articles around your topics of interest. (Create annotated bibliography entries for each article you review.)

Using your topics and the literature reviewed, formulate 3 to 5 possible topic areas of interest. These topics should have the potential for doctoral level research. (Refer to your reading in Leedy and Ormrod (2010) for the definition of doctoral level research.) Each topic should be presented succinctly; should be supported by personal observations; and should have at least one related citation from the literature.

Length: 5-7 pages (app. 350 words per page). Include at least one reference.

Your essay should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Submit your document in the Course Work area below the Activity screen.

Your Mentor will provide feedback to help you narrow your topic.
