So in the meantime, after almost a year away from it, I'm doing a big review on my own. (Hmm..."almost a year away from it" - that, dear readers, is RIDICULOUS!)
Speaking of ridiculous, the weather in the Washington, DC area this week is preventing my regular business travel. If I can get myself to bed early and take on my old pre-workday habits, I should be able to put a dent in it over the next few days.
I found another resource from dissertationwriting.com: Writing Chapter 1 - The Introduction of Your...Doctoral Dissertation... that actually tells me a bit more on what is supposed to go into the introductory chapter. The biggest issue is - to give a synopsis of the findings or not to give a synopsis. I vote "yes." And since the school is unresponsive, I think I'll be my own thesis advisor and do what I want to do. So there.
