Re:Module 2 DQ 2

After reviewing Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 in the Dissertation Proposal Template, explain how you will use information from sections in Chapter 2 (Background to the Problem, Theoretical Foundations, and topics in the Review of the Literature) to develop a first draft of Chapter 3 including the Problem Statement, Research Questions, Research Design, Data Collection sources, and Data Analysis. How will you self-score each section using the criteria to help improve the quality of your work and speed up the process of writing your proposal?

After having a conversation Dr. Danielle Rowell, reviewing the material and dissertation resources and power point slides at the GCU DC network, I have found that the dissertation proposal template is an excellent guide to complete the dissertation and what the requirements are in order to complete and get that PhD. All you have to do is address the issues and follow the wording for each section of the template. It also helps that the dissertation is rooting for you and making sure you do follow those guidelines to get the proposal to the final phase. When reading peer reviewed research articles when doing a literature review, the authors of each of the study usually tells you the purpose of the study, the hypothesis or phenomenon the author is studying, and perhaps even the research question. The literature review will also give you ideas on the methodology, research design, data collection, and analysis from the authors of each of the study in your literature search (Hart, 1999/2008, and Rudestam & Newton, 2007).

Utilizing the template, and the suggestions made by Dr. Spitzer and Dr. Rowell on the prospectus draft, I will address all the issues and comments made to the draft. In addition, I will take more time in drafting the prospectus proposal to the standards needed to go to the next phase.
