DQ2 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?
