Dear Students

In this week, you will submit Chapter 3, the methodology. It is efficient for you send me a draft of the chapter that is written concisely with scholarly, not conversational style. Focus on the rubric, assessment tables and the template to be sure you include all expected items. Make every sentence contribute substantially to your chapter. You may find you modify your plans as you work through the method, data collection plan, analysis plan. You can enter comments to me on the side using Review/Comments on the WORD toolbar. For example if you don’t like the wording or have a question but don’t want to stop to email or call me.

You will also be working on the revisions to Chapter 1. I plan to get the graded Chapter 2 returned to you as soon as I can. Please note when I find grammar errors, italics where they do not belong, or citations not according to APA, I do not bring every incident to your attention. I expect one time to note an error is enough.
