Academic Process

I answer questions concerning my dissertation process and provide an overall summary. The dissertation process is not to be undertaken without understanding the significant investment that will be required - the least of which may be monetary.

The Dissertation Proposal is an expanded and restructured version of the Idea Paper serving as the dissertation foundation.

No research is allowed before application and approval of the IRB.

The Idea Paper has its beginnings in the Concept Paper and is the result of directed research and the precursor to the Dissertation Proposal. Multiple drafts are produced as the Idea Paper is developed through directed research with the intent of focusing and defining the research.
