In addition, by sharing your experience with colleagues, you can gain further insight into the process of becoming a successful doctoral independent scholar and strategic planner. For this Discussion, you will apply the tools and information from this course to support the development of your Doctoral Study Problem Statement.

To prepare for this Discussion, consider the research you have already done for your Doctoral Study Problem Statement, which you submitted for this week’s Assignment, and think about how your perspective as an independent scholar has evolved during this course.
