PADM 988 Dissertation II

In this course, Tasks are critical checkpoints at which the doctoral candidate’s manuscript components are thoroughly reviewed to ensure consistency with academic standards and expectations.

Tasks are scored as either complete or not complete. Tasks must be completed sequentially, and doctoral candidates may not move to a new Task before the preceding Task is complete.

Doctoral candidates may work on up to six Tasks in this course, but must pass four of those Tasks in order to earn the grade of “P” to pass to the next course in their doctoral research sequence.

Tasks are as follows:

Task 5: Proposal Defense Departmental Approval (Chair)
Task 6: Proposal Defense Completion Approval (Chair)
Task 7: IRB Application Submission Approval (Chair)
Task 8: IRB Approval (Chair)
Task 9: Data Collection Completion Approval (Chair)
Task 10 (Optional): Chapter 4 Methodologist Approval (Chair)

Each Task requires submission in Canvas so that the appropriate faculty member(s) can review and provide feedback that will ensure the project meets appropriate academic standards and expectations. Please note that successful completion of the task requires the approval of each Task by the appropriate faculty member(s), rather than simply the submission of the manuscript component by the doctoral candidate. The doctoral candidate may be required to revise and resubmit components of their manuscript, incorporating faculty feedback, in order to successfully complete the Task. Successful completion of these Tasks according to the recommended timeline is crucial in the candidate’s progression in the course and their overall doctoral research journey.
