In the Week 5 Dropbox, submit a draft of Chapter 1 that now includes your introduction, problem statement, purpose, research questions and significance of the problem. If you have already completed other sections, include those too! The more that you can complete earlier in the course, the faster you can move on to other Chapters and reduce the overall time in the program. Remember to add the new sections to your dissertation template. If you are already beyond this point, submit your current draft. Refer to your timeline and check off your accomplishments. You should also submit your alignment table to demonstrate the alignment between problem, purpose, and research questions.

Chapter Submission: If you have not already submitted a draft, refer to the Chapter Submission Instructions found in the Course Requirements section of the course to submit your Chapter 1 for Committee review. You must submit your draft this week to get Committee agreement on the direction that you are heading.
