Post 4.
Prospectus Approved.
It took too long.
There really is not much to say about my prospectus being approved other than my patience being tested once again. Revisions were made each time I sent the document back. Some of them made full circle to end up as they were prior to being revised. Other revisions were needed.
Though it was of great value to have 3 professors (or 4) read my prospectus, revise, and give me feedback. I now read my prospectus (the final version) and it is clear, concise, and aligned. The problem, research questions, and approach to explore my problem statement all make more sense. Additionally, the feasibility to explore the problem was demonstrated and most importantly, the prospect is grounded, original, and with great impact on English Language Learners (ELLs).
Now what?
I will be developing a Mind Map with all the concepts I will explore in depth. I will use the concepts to do research on studies exploring them. With those studies in hand, I will analyze them and develop a literature review that will explain the grounds for my proposed study.
