The second assessment is designed to monitor progress and provide feedback at a midpoint in the dissertation process. The main focus is on assessing progress towards Los 3 & 4, which involve selecting, collecting, analyzing and interpreting evidence from multiple sources and synthesizing and critically evaluating different sources of knowledge to articulate logical and cogent argumentation. The assessment also includes a mid-project review report with a proposed title of the dissertation, project scope and purpose, project progress and achievements, remaining challenges and additional work, and expectations.
