EDUC 8081 - Completing the Prospectus

(0 semester credits)

 The prospectus is a brief document that helps education professionals organize, delineate, and make decisions regarding their doctoral study and appropriate research methodology. In this course, education professionals design the prospectus in collaboration with their committee members. Education professionals learn best practices for developing the prospectus and analyze past examples. They refine their doctoral study questions and explore research methods and project types that they may incorporate into their study. Finally, they engage in the iterative process of writing the prospectus, incorporating feedback from peers and committee members. Ultimately, the prospectus is offered by education professionals as a document for review for consideration by potential mentors for their doctoral study, which is completed during EDUC 8090 - Doctoral Study Intensive.
