ED 975 - Dissertation Advisement 4: Conclusion of Research

(3)

This course deals with both the theoretical and practical aspects of designing dissertation research and successfully defending the design in a proposal hearing. This seminar is designed to assist students in various stages of the dissertation process, although emphasis is placed squarely on completion of the last chapter of the dissertation and preparation for the oral defense. However, students may be: developing their dissertation topic and research design, writing a prospectus or proposal, collecting and/or analyzing data, writing concluding chapters, or preparing for the final oral defense. Upon consultation with their major professors, students will contract with the instructor to specify the dissertation-related task(s) they will complete during the semester. Prerequisite(s): ED 970 Note(s) This course is taught pass/fail.
