For Assignment 11.1, we completed three short modules to support our understanding of SPSS and analysis in our research endeavors. We also completed two short modules on qualitative analysis. The files associated with the module exercises are listed above. They show what I learned about using the SPSS tool and coding practices to analyze research data.

Over the course of the semester, we completed a series of smaller assignments that gradually built toward the development of our Dissertation in Practice Proposal draft. This proposal is composed of the first three chapters of the research study: Chapter 1, the Introduction; Chapter 2, the Literature Review; and Chapter 3, the Methodology Plan. Through class discussion boards, peer reviews and related activities, we worked to ensure these chapters were well-aligned, creating a clear and cohesive representation of the study and its design. Once Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is obtained, this proposal becomes the foundation for carrying out the study and beginning the data collection process. Before moving forward, my Lead Doctoral Faculty Member (LDFM) must approve and sign off on the proposal.
