· How confident are you that your purpose statement aligns with your problem statement?
· Reflecting on the weekly overview, what are the specific elements from your problem statement that are carried over to your purpose statement?
Include your own experience as well as 2 citations from peer-reviewed academic journals, industry publications, books, and/or other sources that align with or contradict your comments. Cite your sources according to APA guidelines. If you found information that contradicts your experience, explain why you agree or disagree with the information.
Assignment 1
incorporating feedback is essential and beneficial in the learning process and is an expectation throughout the dissertation journey. Reading feedback, reflecting on the feedback, and then properly incorporating the feedback will help you progress through the dissertation journey and improve your writing, critical thinking, and APA formatting skills.
