Learning Plan Format

What is the format of the Learning Plan?  

The Learning Plan is a communicative document. As such, it should clearly and succinctly spell out the student’s learning to-date and the learning they intend to do as part of their qualifying process and in the production of their QED.

The Learning Plan format is:

1. Working Title of IDSR PhD Research  
2. Background: Contextualization of the research problem(s)  
3. Tentative Dissertation Research Topic  
4. QED Components & References*
5. Bibliography of relevant multi-disciplinary sources student will draw on in preparation of the QED.  

*Section 4 of the Learning Plan outlines your plan for the QED components and references. In crafting the Learning Plan, keep in mind the purpose and goals of the QED as a separate document developed from the Learning Plan.
