There is a connection between chapter three and chapter one (Textbook pdf attached please look in files). Therefore, as an extension of our week in the mock chapter three from last week, we will write a mock chapter one. For the sake of preparation, we will be using the required headings from the University Doctoral Research Handbook. Like we discuss in class, each university has unique parameters for what they expect in chapter one, so you may see papers from other universities that look slightly different. The importance here is to focus on the content, not necessarily the organization. This assignment will help determine your readiness to write a full-length chapter one.
Directions:
– Review the rubric to make sure that you understand what is expected of you in this assignment.
– Using the appropriate dissertation template, develop a 3-4 page (more is fine) mock chapter one that includes all sections of the respective methodology selected.
– You will NOT write a theoretical framework in your mock chapter one as this will be completed in a later week.
