Write a quality dissertation
To prepare for this Discussion, review the Dissertation and Writing Resources in this week’s Learning Resources.
Your Week 1 Application Assignment was to describe your Dissertation topic and how you came to select it, what your interest is in studying it, the problem that makes it worth studying, and its significance. To prepare for this Discussion, use the Litmus Test listed in your Learning Resources to develop and revise your topic and problem statement you drafted in Week 1.
Post by Day 4 a response to the following:
- Briefly describe your Dissertation topic and the problem statement that you have developed or revised from Week 1, together with its significance. Both your topic and the problem statement are required in your Premise.
- Describe how you will use the Walden’s Doctoral Capstone Resources located in this Week’s Resources throughout the Dissertation process.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
Respond by Day 6 to the postings of at least two of your colleagues, responding to the same colleagues in both the Week 2 and Week 3 Discussions. Work with your colleagues to determine your statement’s feasibility and appropriateness as it relates to your topic. Use their feedback to hone and refine your problem statement.
Evaluate your colleagues’ problem statements, judging their clarity and strength: To what extent is the problem significant enough to warrant study? What other components or issues might be added to the problem statement? What other feedback can you provide that will strengthen the statement? Explain and justify your decisions and feedback. Support or challenge your colleagues’ choices of key words.
