Dissertation Reviews Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you will write reviews on two separate doctoral dissertations. Select two Liberty University School of Education doctoral dissertations via the Liberty University Scholars Crossing link provided with this assignment. The dissertations in the Scholars Crossing repository are organized chronologically, with the most recently published on top. Click on the title of a dissertation to view basic information for that dissertation, including the abstract. Click the “Download” button to access the full-text document. Be sure to confirm via the title page of the selected dissertation that it is indeed a dissertation and not a conference presentation, thesis, or other forms of scholarly work.
The dissertations you select should not be dissertations you have previously reviewed for this or another course. One dissertation you choose should reflect the research topic you identified in Discussion: Research Topic. The second dissertation you choose must employ a research design type similar to that you will propose in your upcoming Research Methodology Presentation Assignment. The dissertations you choose must have been written within the past five years.
The length of this assignment is six pages for each dissertation for a total length of 12 pages (not including the required title and references pages). Each six-page review must include the following:
1. A two-page summary of the dissertation. What was done for the study? How? What was found?
2. A two-page analysis of the quality of the research conducted. What are the strengths and limitations of the research? What was done well? What could be improved? How would you do the research differently?
3. A two-page personal analysis and practical application discussion. Describe personal lessons learned from the dissertation and the relevance of the reviewed work within the field of education.
Use current APA style throughout the paper. Review the Dissertation Reviews Grading Rubric before submitting your assignment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
