To collect your thoughts on your project, check your understanding of the dissertation process, orient your Instructor to your topic area (employee turnover), and begin a dialogue with your Instructor (for a class that just started-the final class before taking the comprehensive exam) about defining a problem and developing a dissertation study, submit a paper (plus a reference list) in which you:
1. describe your topic area and your thoughts on possible problems in the area that would allow you to make a contribution to theory; and
2. identify areas in the dissertation process you want to better understand and ask your Instructor questions about them.
The main point of this assignment is to bring your instructor up to date on your thinking about your project. Your instructor will give you feedback on whether your topic and problem ideas are "feasible, interesting, worthy, and relevant."
Length: 1-2 pages not including title and reference pages
