DB-FPX9804 is the last step before your doctoral project is complete. You integrate feedback from multiple reviewers to improve your project into a final, school-approved study, assess and assemble the artifacts for your required e-portfolio, write the abstract for dean approval, and present a poster session to practice the dissemination of your research findings. This course is less about generating new content and more about polishing, defending, and showcasing what you have built. This guide explains the assessments and where academic support for DB-FPX9804 fits.

Course Overview

Final Reviews and Presentation asks you to integrate feedback from multiple reviewers to improve and enhance your project into a final, school-approved study. You assess the artifacts and items included in the required e-portfolio, write an abstract for dean approval, and present a poster session to practice the dissemination of research findings. The prerequisite is DB-FPX9803. Successful completion of this course represents the culmination of the doctoral project sequence across all DBA specializations.

Common Challenges in This Course

The most time-consuming challenge is integrating feedback from multiple reviewers whose comments may sometimes conflict. You need a systematic approach — track each comment, determine whether it requires a substantive change or a clarification, and ensure that addressing one reviewer's concern does not create a new problem elsewhere in the document. The abstract is deceptively difficult: compressing an 80-150 page project into 150-300 words while hitting every required element (purpose, method, findings, implications) demands precision. The poster session requires a completely different communication mode than academic writing — visual clarity and verbal explanation rather than detailed text.

DB-FPX9804 FAQ

How many rounds of reviewer feedback should I expect?

Plan for at least two rounds. Some students clear with one, but most need at least one revision cycle after initial feedback. Build this into your timeline rather than assuming single-pass approval.

What goes into the e-portfolio?

Typically your final project document, key course artifacts demonstrating competency development, the poster, and the abstract. Your program will provide a specific checklist — follow it exactly.

What format is the poster session?

Usually a virtual or in-person poster presentation following academic conference conventions: a visual poster summarizing your study plus a brief verbal presentation and Q&A. Practice explaining your work to a non-specialist audience.

What happens after dean approval?

Your doctoral project is officially complete. Depending on your program structure, you may need to complete DB-FPX9980 (Doctoral Project Development) if additional development time is needed, or you proceed to degree conferral.

Can the abstract be modified after dean approval?

Once dean-approved, the abstract becomes the official record of your study. Any modifications would require going back through the approval process, so get it right before submission.
