Week 3 Assignment: Reviewing Acceptable Topics & Methods

Reviewing Acceptable Topics & Methods â€‹**See Week 3 Assignment (attached) for more details** OverviewThe final assignment for this course is to develop a concept paper, identifying your topic and the problem your topic addresses, providing supportive evidence through the literature, and presenting a framework through which you will study the topic. You will create this final paper by combining each of the previous course assignments into a single MS Word document. In other words, the paper will be completed in phases and you will be guided in using the library in order to complete it. By the time you reach the final assignment for the course, you will have read, summarized, and analyzed 35–45 references to adequately cover the richness of your topic and begun on your development as a scholar-practitioner. This process will begin with this assignment.Identifying a dissertation or doctoral project topic may sound like a simple task but many doctoral learners spend most of their time in their dissertation or doctoral project process trying to identify an appropriate topic. In addition to topic identification, you need the knowledge and skill set to:·         Conceptualize.·         Plan.·         Execute.·         Complete your dissertation or doctoral project.To support you in this task, your program has developed a document, Acceptable Topics and Methods, that aligns with the literature and the scholarly work generally conducted in your discipline. The Capella University Library also contains a wealth of information that can guide you to your topic.InstructionsFrom the Virtual Residency Campus page, use the Acceptable Topics and Methods document for your program as well as the Capella library guide for your discipline to identify a potential acceptable topic and choose five articles to summarize in a short paper in which you address the following:·         Discuss the application of each article to the potential topic.o    In your summary, discuss why and how you feel each of the articles addresses your topic. What conclusions can you draw from the articles?·         Discuss how each article reflects acceptable methods for the discipline.o    In your summary, discuss why and how you feel the articles address the methodological approach. What suggestions for future study were offered?·         Explain how the methods used supported the outcomes of the study.·         As a scholar-practitioner, apply conventions of voice, academic tone, and discipline-specific language.
