This is the first in a sequence of seven dissertation courses to guide and support students’ dissertation research. In this course, students will identify a dissertation topic and research question, provide a compelling rationale for their research project, and develop a rough plan for its execution. The draft to be submitted to the instructor at conclusion of this course will include a problem statement, an introduction to the topic based on a first review of the literature with a minimum of 10 references, one or more research questions, and a rough outline of the methodology required to answer the research question(s).
