Instructor Feedback:

This is an extremely well-developed proposal (I think it's still a bit big...!), but it is comprehensive and organized.  A couple of suggestions:

  • The theory should help you articulate themes for your analysis - how can the theory guide your codes in analysis?

  • Your bibliography is not quite in APA format - the indentations are missing.  Are you using Mendeley or Zotero?  Maybe just have a quick peek at the settings to make sure you're set up for APA.
