DQ 1. Becoming a researcher requires students to be independent and self-motivated. To complete a dissertation, a student needs to be aware of the dissertation milestones and take active steps to set manageable and actionable goals. What knowledge or skills do you personally need to create a manageable action plan for completing your research? What are some challenges to properly managing your time outside the classroom you expect to experience as you work to complete your research? How will you keep yourself accountable to a plan to complete the dissertation research project?

DQ 2. According to Chapter 7 in your course textbook, the first artifact the learner encounters in the dissertation process is the 10 Strategic Points which is divided into topics that develop the research idea into a dissertation study. These points emerge from researching literature on a topic based on or aligned with the defined need in the literature as well as the personal passion, future career purpose, and degree area of the learner.

How does your potential research topic align with your personal passion, future career purpose, and degree area? How can you assure your potential topic remains aligned with these three components as you delve deeper into the literature? Do you feel any of these three components dominate the others? How can you make sure to maintain a balance between the three? (This response does not require research support.)
