Prospectus Draft Submission

Over the last few courses, you have been developing your dissertation research prospectus from your 10 Key Strategic Points document. At this point, you should have a preliminary draft of your prospectus that integrates an abbreviated version of your literature review into the introduction to the prospectus. Your prospectus should include all components listed in the "Prospectus Review Checklist," and the "Prospectus Template" should be followed explicitly to organize formatting and content. This assignment is another opportunity for you to receive feedback on your progress to date. You will continue to work on your prospectus throughout this course by implementing feedback received on this assignment. Another submission of a more polished prospectus will be due later in this course. Additionally, continue to expand and improve upon your literature review, including the theoretical foundations that have been established for your specific topic, as the entire literature review will be included in your dissertation proposal to be submitted in subsequent courses.
