Discussion Post: Research Method
Work with your dissertation chair to determine any specific instructions or guidance that he or she may have for you.
For this task, you will continue building your research methods for your dissertation. The Dissertation Proposal Template will help you address the needed items for your methods section. However, different designs require different components. Be sure to work with your dissertation chair to determine what adjustments may be needed.
You will add to the work you completed in Milestone: Research Methods. Make adjustments on the basis of feedback from your dissertation chair.
Then, add part 2 of the methods, including:
a) Instrumentation
b) Research procedures
Important Note: Dissertation writing is highly recursive. As you write material in one section, you may need to make some adjustments or additions in other sections in order to build a cohesive document. For example, your selection of instrumentation and research procedures will likely create some changes. As you wait for feedback from your dissertation chair/committee, use the time to draft some of those adjustments.
Note: A successful dissertation requires self-directed behaviors. To successfully pass each dissertation course, you must successfully complete (pass) each milestone presented in the course materials. Additionally, you must complete the milestones in the order they are presented in the course. The tasks in some milestones may take you more than a week to complete. Finish each milestone before you move on to the next milestone. In your planning, also allow time for feedback from your dissertation chair/committee and revisions as part of completing each task.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
