Wk 5 – Research Questions and Alignment Summary
Assignment Content
From this week’s overview, classroom materials, the understanding you gained from reviewing the finished dissertations, and the peer review from Discussion 2, develop a research question or questions to address your study’s purpose. You will be placing these in the Research Question section in the Research Outline Template that you began in Week 3.
Provide a 300- to 500-word substantiated summary on how your research question(s) align with the study’s purpose and place the references in the reference section. You will place this summary in Appendix D of the Research Outline Template.
Incorporating feedback is essential and beneficial in the learning process and is an expectation throughout the dissertation journey. Reading feedback, reflecting on the feedback, and then properly incorporating the feedback will help to progress through the dissertation journey and improve your writing, critical thinking, and APA formatting skills.
