PH 572B - Dissertation Planning

Seminars Performing research is a crucial part of the learning experience at the doctoral level. A research based, clinical dissertation must be completed before graduation. The program is designed so that work on the dissertation blends with other training received during the program's academic years. The dissertation project is designed to make an original contribution to the clinical literature in psychophysiology and to be directly and practically related to the student's intended clinical practice. Four credits of dissertation work are completed each year. Students participate in regularly scheduled Dissertation Seminars twice for each credit. At each seminar, a small group of students (not more than six) gather via voice based internet chat room to discuss their ideas, progress, and problems with their own dissertations under the leadership of an experienced faculty member. Potentiation takes place as students from a variety of fields positively support each other with ideas and suggestions for strengthening their projects. The seminars progress through all phases of designing, performing, analyzing, and writing the dissertation. 2 credit(s)
