DB9804: Final Reviews and Presentation

DB9804 is the final course in the DBA project sequence at Capella University. The catalog says students integrate feedback from multiple reviewers to improve the project into a final, school-approved study, assess the artifacts in the required e-portfolio, write an abstract for dean approval, and present a poster session to practice dissemination.

Work here is about polish and responsiveness. The study is already done, so the challenge is turning reviewer comments into clear revisions and communicating the project concisely in an abstract and a poster.

What DB9804 Covers

Key Ideas Explained

Responding to Reviewers

Treat each comment as a request to be answered in the text. A response table, listing the comment, your change and the page or section, keeps you organized and makes later checking easy.

Writing the Abstract

An abstract states the problem, purpose, method, main findings and implications in a short space. Use plain language, avoid citations, and make sure every claim appears in the full study.

Designing the Poster

A poster succeeds when a viewer grasps the point in under a minute. Use a clear title, a short problem statement, a simple method summary, two or three key findings and one takeaway, with legible figures.

Typical Assignments and How to Approach Them

Where Students Get Stuck

• Conflicting comments. Ask your faculty chair which direction to follow.
• Long abstracts. Cut background and keep findings.
• Cluttered posters. Prefer one figure per message.
• Missing portfolio items. Build a checklist at the start of the term.

Planning Your Term

Abstract and Poster Checklists

The e-portfolio is worth checking early. The catalog says students assess the artifacts and items it requires, so make a list of each required item, mark where it is stored, and note any that still need work. Doing this in the first week prevents last-minute surprises.

Finally, remember that dissemination is the point of the poster. Practice explaining the study to someone outside your field, because that is close to the situation you will meet at a conference or in a workplace briefing, and it exposes parts of the story that are still unclear.

When reviewers disagree, do not guess. Summarize both views in one message to your faculty chair, state the option you prefer and why, and ask for a decision. That keeps the record clear and avoids revising the same section twice.

Time Management in the Final Term

The final course compresses several tasks: revisions, portfolio checks, an abstract and a poster. Do them in dependency order. Revisions come first because the abstract and poster must describe the final study; the portfolio check can run in parallel; the poster comes last.

Leave at least two working days between finishing revisions and final submission. Fresh eyes catch inconsistent numbers, missing citations and formatting slips that tired eyes miss.

Study Tips for DB9804

• Do the revisions before the poster; the poster should reflect the final study.
• Read your abstract aloud; sentences that run out of breath need trimming.
• Keep a clean copy of the final study and a marked copy showing changes.
• Ask someone outside your field to look at your poster for ten seconds and say what it is about.
