FOS 796 Thesis Prospectus II: Graduate Seminar
The second required prospectus seminar course continues to introduce the student to scholarly research, and professional and ethical issues in scientific research and forensic science. In this formal seminar, presentations by a combination of invited experts, faculty, and/or students on published articles, original research, and other relevant topics will provide students with a broader perspective on forensic science. Students will develop critical literature review and oral and written communication skills. In FOS 796 students present the development of their thesis research, from literature review and experimental design to preliminary data. Students must develop and submit a thesis prospectus by the end of this course.
