• Recall the Doctoral Programs Library Tour: Video, you viewed in Unit II. What is one thing learned from it that you were not aware of that you believe will be very useful in your doctoral program?
• Which of the resources (ResearchOn-Qual! and ResearchOn-Quant! Group work sessions, Doctoral Writing Coach, Doctoral Writing & Research Center, virtual residencies, pre-dissertation mentorship program or other resource) discussed in the Unit I Lesson are you more likely to use and why?
