RES 885 Topic 1 DQ 1
Create a draft Individual Success Plan for
accomplishing the final deliverables in this course, which is a completed
prospectus and an outline of “The Review of Literature” section in Chapter 2.
In your plan, provide a rationale for your plan and also include how you will
address the iterative reviews given the feedback from your chair in this
course. This plan will be submitted as an assignment in Week 2 of this course.
How might the feedback given on your submitted deliverables potentially alter
your Individual Success Plan (ISP)? How will you adapt to these changes as they
occur?

published in the past three years that define a problem space to justify the
need for your proposed study. For each argument, provide supporting citations
from the empirical studies. Additionally, upload the corresponding PDFs of the
full studies you are using to build your argument. Note: Use the feedback provided
by your instructor to continue to revise the Background to the Problem section
of your prospectus.

Respond to one of the following based on the selected
methodology of your dissertation study.
If doing a qualitative study:
Identify an empirical study which was conducted on the phenomenon you are

the phenomenon for your proposed study. Discuss how the theory or model is
relevant to the phenomenon addressed in your study. Note: Use instructor
feedback to revise the Theoretical Foundation section in your prospectus.
If doing a quantitative study:
Identify the variables which you are exploring for your study. Describe each
variable and the model or theory aligned to the variable. Identify and name an
instrument which measures the variable or variables. Identify an empirical
study which used the variable you will be researching. Find the model or theory
for the variable in that article or in the validation article on the instrument
used to measure it. Note: Use instructor feedback to revise the Theoretical
Foundation section in your prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 3 DQ 2
Respond to one of the following based on the selected
methodology of your dissertation study.
If doing a qualitative study:
Use the problem statement and the model(s) and/or theory(ies) to develop the
research questions for your proposed study. Once you have instructor feedback
put these research questions into the research questions section in your
Prospectus deliverable.
If doing a quantitative Study:
Use the problem statement and variables to develop the research questions for
your proposed study. Once you have instructor feedback put these research
questions into the research questions section in your prospectus deliverable.
RES 885 Topic 4 DQ 1
Identify the methodology (quantitative or qualitative)
for your proposed research. Give three well-developed arguments, with citations
from peer-reviewed sources, justifying why the methodology is the best for your
problem statement and/or research questions.
Use instructor feedback on your post to revise the Rationale for Methodology
section in your prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 4 DQ 2
Identify the design for your proposed research. Give
three well-developed arguments, with citations from peer-reviewed sources, to
justify why that design is the best for your problem statement and/or research
questions.
Use instructor feedback on your post to revise the Nature of the Research
Design section in your prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 5 DQ 1
Respond to one of the following based on the selected
methodology of your dissertation study.

peer-reviewed sources. Note: Incorporate instructor feedback on your post to
revise the the Data Sources/Instruments section in your prospectus.
If doing a quantitative study:
Identify the data sources or instrumentation for each of the variables in your
study. Justify the use of each data source or instrument in your study. Support
your justification with citations from peer-reviewed sources. Discuss the
reliability and validity of each data source or instrument. Also discuss how
the instrument is scored and the level (categorical, ordinal, interval, ratio)
the data obtained for your variable of interest.
Incorporate instructor feedback on your post to revise the the Data
Sources/Instruments section in your prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 5 DQ 2
Develop a detailed outline for the data collection
plan to include: (1) required permissions for use of instruments and/or sources
of data, (2) proposed sampling approach, (3) detailed data collection steps for
each of the instruments and data sources, and (4) a data management plan.
Incorporate instructor feedback on your post to revise the Sources of
Data/Instruments and Data Collection sections of the prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 6 DQ 1

questions/hypotheses. Support your approach with relevant scholarly sources.
Incorporate instructor feedback on your post to revise the Data Analysis
section of the prospectus.
RES 885 Topic 6 DQ 2

to the population; and one section explaining various aspects of the phenomenon
you are studying.
If doing a quantitative study:
For Chapter 2 of your proposal, develop an outline for the Review of Literature
topics ensuring you have one section specifying the broad
societal/business/community issue it addresses, one section identifying the

and one section explaining the nature of each variable involved in your
study. Also include a section identifying studies that focused on two or more
of the variables you intend to use in your study.
RES 885 Topic 8 DQ 2
In Week 6 of the next dissertation course
(DIS/DBA/PSY/PCE/TLC-955), you will submit a revised prospectus. The submission
is scored as pass/fail and is worth 400 points. If each section of the
prospectus does not receive a score of at least “2 – Meets Expectations” at
that time, you will fail the course and need to retake the class.
- Reflect
on the feedback your chair and methodologist (if appropriate) have
provided on your prospectus to date.
- Using
the criteria in the prospectus template, complete a self-evaluation of the
work you have completed for each section. Based on your self-evaluation
and chair feedback, what section(s) of the prospectus do you need to
refine and work on in order fully meet the requirements in the criterion
tables and to receive a score of “2 – Item Meets Expectations”? Remember,
your prosepctus must be approved in the DIS/DBA/PSY/PCE/TLC-955 course in
order to pass that course.
- What
information or guidance do you need from your chair and/or methodologist
to help you meet expectations on the prospectus criteria?
