PSYC 988 Dissertation II

In this course, students will build upon the work they completed in Dissertation I by completing their IRB application and completing data collection.

The purpose of this course is to receive IRB approval for the Dissertation and complete data collection under the supervision of the Dissertation Chair, with input from the Dissertation Committee Member.   

Course Requirements Checklist

Discussions (3)

The candidate will participate in three Discussions focused on providing a description of previous tasks, current progress, all communication and guidance from the chair, goals for the semester, and challenges the candidate is currently facing. Each thread should be between 150 – 400 words. No peer replies are required, but candidates are encouraged to interact with classmates in the Discussion to help build community and encourage one another.

Quiz: IRB and Data Collection Progress (14)

The candidate will self-report acknowledgment of weekly progress on these quizzes throughout the course. Also, these quizzes serve to show course activity and attendance; therefore, each quiz must be completed within the assigned module and should not be taken early. Also, on these quizzes, the candidate will have the opportunity to upload the most recent copy of their manuscript (or portion of their manuscript). The candidate is not required to upload anything to these progress reports, but if they would like their chair to review their manuscript (or portion of it), the candidate may upload their document to these Manuscript Development Progress quizzes. (CLOs: A, B, C, D)

Quiz: Data Collection Complete Submission

When the candidate has completed their data collection and does not intend to collect any more data, the Data Collection Complete form will be submitted.  This can be submitted at any time that the candidate has completed data collection.  It should be submitted through the weekly IRB & Data Collection Progress Quiz. Completion of data collection fulfills the requirements of this class and will allow the student to progress to PSYC 989.  (CLO: E).
