PROPOSED DATE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT:

PROGRAM RATIONALE (please review the Program Guidelines for directions):

After reviewing my third portfolio successfully, I will take EDUC 998 Dissertation 

Proposal Seminar. I expect that the course will assist me in preparing my dissertation proposal 
by means of helping me define problem statement, review research literature, and find a research
methodology that will be employed to address the research question. 

To satisfy all University and program requirement in order to proceed to the dissertation
phase of the program, 3 credits are left. Therefore, EDUC 825 Advanced Research Methods in 
Self­Study of Professional Practice will be my last methodology class. I had consulted Dr. Fox
who is my committee chair advisor and she gave her consent to this program plan.
