RES 3500 - Research Design and Scholarly Writing


In this course students further develop, and apply, their knowledge about designing research and they begin to draft a proposal for a dissertation or other independent research project.  Students advance their knowledge and experience synthesizing literature in a topic area related to their proposed dissertation study or field.  Students examine the specific components of a proposal and the logical alignment of these components.  Students participate in individual and collaborative exercises designed to establish expectations around reviewing, responding to feedback and rewriting scholarly work, including the development of a concept paper that outlines a study appropriate for the dissertation in one's field.
