ED 965 - Dissertation Advisement 2: Proposal

(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 course is designed to assist students in various stages of the dissertation process, although emphasis is placed squarely on development of the first three dissertation chapters. 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 professor, students will contract with the instructor to specify the dissertation-related task(s) they will complete during the semester. Note(s) Approval of adviser required. This course is taught pass/fail.
