Please read the instructions carefully. Locate a published dissertation and provide a copy of it with this assignment.
Assignment: My disciplinary area is Higher Education.
This week you will go online and find a couple of key dissertation studies you believe may be considered a well-designed and well-written piece of literature (ensure they are current within the past five (5) years). You should also select a dissertation in your disciplinary area (e.g., education, nursing, business, psychology, etc.) so that you may have a relevant example from which to learn. Use ProQuest as the database for locating a published dissertation.
Dissertation Critique
1. This assignment’s primary emphasis will be to develop an in-depth analysis of a dissertation’s introductory sections.
2. Choose one of the two dissertations selected. Read through this dissertation carefully, looking for all the necessary parts. You will critique the dissertation using the AQuA form as a guide. Include the completed AQuA form assessment in the appendix of your assignment for this week.
3. You will also include a PDF of the selected dissertation that you chose as an uploaded document along with your written work.
4. This assignment will use the outline of the AQuA form information to carefully critique the various parts of your selected dissertation. Use the different sections of the outline as your required “headings” for the paper. You will also add in the introductory section of your paper, a summary of the actual dissertation you selected and why you feel this was an excellent example for you to review and follow during this class. Remember, be sure to pick a dissertation from your disciplinary field of interest (e.g., business, nursing, education, psychology, etc.) and, if possible, one related to the same research topic that interests you.
The essay should be 1250 words in length. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which subtopic you address in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least three (3) citations from the text in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount.
