Provide a synthesized review of the scholarly literature and address the theoretical foundations or practice orientation for your study. Your supporting evidence should include:
Primary orientation.
Efforts to address the problem.
Synthesis of evidence.
Your project questions should illuminate the gap in literature and align with topic, problem, and evidence.
Refer to the Campus page for your PhD or Professional Doctorate program’s Project Plan Guide. Remember, the Project Plan helps you develop the details of your project. Your work will be viewed through multiple lenses, including those of instructors, peers, the existing literature, and other sources. You should seek out opportunities to improve and refine your work. As you deepen your understanding and add detail to your project, you should expect to make several revisions throughout and beyond this course. Doctoral project planning is an iterative process, with each revision often inspiring further revisions until everything is aligned. These iterations are a necessary and customary part of the doctoral journey.
