HPED 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. During this course, students will identify potential members for a dissertation committee. 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 deliverables include the written dissertation proposal, the oral defense of the dissertation proposal, and IRB application submission if applicable. A letter grade will not be assigned if the proposal is not successfully defended, rather a placeholder of ‘S’ for satisfactory progress will be applied.
