A peer-review process provides doctoral students opportunities to explore their own ideas and thoughts as well as assisting their peers by providing substantive feedback and critical thinking questions and ideas.

Complete the Purpose Statement Worksheet.

Post your revised problem statement from Week 3 along with a proposed purpose statement for your study.

(Review others’ proposed purpose statements and substantively respond to at least one of your course colleagues in 150 words or more with feedback to assist with wording of their purpose statement and any potential alignment issues you found. Please focus on the process of writing a purpose statement instead of the research topic.)

A change matrix describes the changes you make to a document based on your instructor’s feedback.

Review the Purpose Statement Worksheet from this week’s Discussion 1 and the Week 3 feedback from your instructor on the background and your problem statement (???? ? ?? ??? ????????? ??????????).

Using the Change Matrix located in Appendix A of the Research Outline Template, record the instructor’s feedback in the comment boxes in the first column (you can copy/paste).
