This writing and research intensive module is designed to provide guidance in the preparation of materials, development and completion of a dissertation research proposal, in compliance with the undergraduate dissertation requirements.
This includes clarification of general program expectations, familiarisation with research resources, presentation of models of effective policy and administrative analytical reports, and provision of basic support in a structured environment of feedback.
All students are required, by the mandatory meeting, to have developed a dissertation proposal and named primary advisor, a full time faculty or a part-time faculty who have agreed to supervise and assist in the completion of the assignments required for this class.
A form for this purpose, which must be turned to Dean, is included in the Undergraduate Dissertation Manual.
This module will have weekly meetings throughout the fall and spring semesters. It is essential that students attend all class meetings. Most meetings have reading assignments that must be completed before the class meeting. This is absolutely not a lecture-based module. The format of most classes will be student-based discussions on how the reading assignments generally apply to dissertation projects.
The remaining hours will be devoted to discussion on specific concerns that students have at the current stage of their work. All students are required to participate in these discussions and should come prepared to class each week with a summary of progress in the previous week, and questions/concerns that need to be addressed. Students should expect to be called on often to make such a report.
Students should expect to undertake substantial work outside of class in the forms of targeted readings related to their projects, identifying a research questions, organizing research strategies, and completing assignments that will lead to their dissertation. All students in this class will receive extensive written and verbal feedback on their assignments.
