The dissertation has two literature reviews. The first literature review is developed for the content (Chapter 2), and the second literature review is related to the method and design (Chapter 3). Students will begin to formalize the development of both components for the proposal. This course is an opportunity for students to focus on the development of their literature review and begin to compose a draft of their Chapter 2 and part of their Chapter 3 for their proposal. Students are encouraged to leverage all the literature they have amassed throughout their program of study and begin to analyze and synthesize the topics that are relevant to the content, method, and design. The focus of this course will be on advanced-level skills development in analysis, synthesis, and reflection.
