Instructions for Module 1

This week you engaged a number of resources that introduced you to the dissertation process. One of these videos was titled “Understanding the Dissertation Process .” In your assignment submission for Module 1, respond to the following prompts:

1. Which part of the dissertation process do you feel most comfortable with? And with which part of the dissertation process do you feel the most apprehensive?

2. Where are you in relationship to identifying a dissertation topic? *Do you already know your topic, and, if so, what is it and why are you interested in it? If you don’t know what your topic is just yet, what are some of your areas of interest related to the field of community care and counseling?

The goal in the personal progress assignments is to move closer and closer to your dissertation topic. Help your classmates and professor understand what your interests are, what specific questions you have (if any), and any actions steps you’re planning to take in the coming week to continue narrowing down your dissertation focus.
