002A Wk1 Disc


TO PREPARE

  • Review the Learning Resources and Course Announcement.
  • Note that Discussions in the PhD program are areas for sharing ideas, reflecting on current research, and building community. Therefore, your grade, and the evaluation of your Discussion, will be based on the content and quality of your ideas. Note that APA style citations, references, and standard punctuation will not be assessed or graded. Please focus on shaping your ideas and supporting your claims with examples and research when applicable. Note that every course has its own standards and requirements, so it is important to always check those requirements for each course and each assignment.
  • Respond to one or both bullet points in the prompt. Note that responses are required in both Week 2 and Week 3 of this Module.

BY DAY 4 OF WEEK 1

Write an initial post of any length, responding to one or both:

  • Share a tip, strategy, or useful observation about the literature review matrix process or document.
  • Ask a question about completing the literature review matrix.
