Prospectus: Possible Types and Sources of Information or Data


This section of the prospectus, Possible types and Sources of Data, is asking specifically in your study what data will you be using? Some possibilities are: test scores from college students, employee surveys, observations of children, interviews with practitioners, historical documents from state records, deidentified medical records, or information from a federal database. 

Inappropriate sources to include in this section are literature that you are reading, your committee, any other data that you have not previously addressed in the prospectus. This section should merely be a summary of what you have previously discussed in the prospectus in terms of data. 

Next time we will finish up the Prospectus by taking an overview of what you double check. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
