RES 1160 - Systems Research

This course focuses on the construction of a comprehensive research methodology based on systems theory and systems methods. By selecting from both the appropriate qualitative research methods and the available systems modeling and design methods, the course guides the student in designing a viable, robust research methodology to research the system of the student's interest. Although this course cannot be expected to provide students with a finite, step-by-step method for research, nor with a complete overview of either the theoretical background or all possible approaches in application, it should provide enough of an orientation to construct a systems-based dissertation. Entails a research proposal, IRB review, execution of a pilot research study, and written research report. Pilot research using a form of systems research is a required part of the course. Oriented to students in OS, but also open to Department of Humanistic & Clinical Psychology students. (Ph.D. program only) Prerequisite(s): Completion of RES 1015. 3 credit(s)
