CNBH 670 Proposal Development
Students will develop and defend a proposal for dissertation research according to the posted dissertation guidelines. The proposed research may be qualitative or quantitative or a combination of these. The proposal is an independent endeavor completed with course faculty and dissertation committee members' critical review and support. Students should expect iterative and numerous substantive revisions to the dissertation proposal. Course deliverable includes the oral defense of the dissertation proposal. A letter grade will not be assigned if the defense is not accomplished, rather a placeholder of 'S' for satisfactory progress or 'U' for unsatisfactory progress will be applied until the proposal is successfully defended. Documents will also be submitted for Institutional Review Board if applicable.
