Dissertation Components

Instructions

Each week you will work closely with your Chair who will help you develop your draft of Chapter 1 components. You should submit a draft each week (of a section or full chapter) to the weekly assignment Dropbox. Remember to incorporate any feedback you have received into your revised work. While you await feedback from your Chair, be sure to continue to work on other aspects of your dissertation (e.g. title, key words for searches, search for articles, outline next chapter, etc.). 

Dropbox Assignment(s): In Week 4 Dropbox, submit a draft of your dissertation that now includes your purpose and research questions. Remember to add this section to your dissertation template. If you are already beyond this point, submit your revised draft. Refer to your timeline and check off your accomplishments. You should also submit your alignment table to demonstrate the alignment between problem, purpose, and research questions. 

You may be to a point where your Chair wants you to submit a formal draft of Chapter 1 (even if not complete). Refer to the Chapter Submission Instructions found in the Course Requirements section of the course to submit your Chapter 1 for Committee review. Remember that you must submit at least two drafts to the Committee prior to the end of Week 9 for feedback
