RSCH-V8926 Doctoral Project Development - Topic Development

In this ten-week virtual residency, students apply advanced research and writing skills through the development of a detailed project framework based on work in prior residencies. Students develop a project framework that includes methodological and/or research design, sampling or participant recruitment plan, intervention plan (if applicable), strategies for data collection, analysis, and outcomes of the project. Further development of the doctoral project is determined through an assessment of the project framework, which is finalized once the student enters the advanced doctoral stage of the program. This residency includes required synchronous sessions. Grading for this course is S/NS. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
