discussion

As you have already experienced, this Discussion forum provides you with the flexibility to openly communicate and share ideas with your Chair and colleagues. The more you are engaged in this process, the better your learning experience will be and the more opportunities you will have to receive support from your colleagues and Chair as you work toward the completion of components leading to the PAS.

Quarter 1: There are two parts to your post this week; make sure you answer both parts.

1. After reading Chapter 5 in Surviving Your Dissertation: A Comprehensive Guide to Content and Process, comment on the type of study you are considering doing for your dissertation (Qualitative). Is this quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods?

2. Next, tell us which statistics and research design courses you have taken and any areas you think may need “refreshing” before tackling data analysis/research design.(Please answer this one)

ALL OTHER QUARTERS: You may also choose to discuss your experiences with completing this stage of the process, highlighting any barriers you need help eliminating.
