CRTY 10832 - Dissertation Methods II

Credits: 5

Building on the skills obtained in Dissertation Methods I, this course will prompt the student to put their unique trans-disciplinary methodology to work within the scope of their individualized project. Each student will participate in group critiques of their methodological structure within the broader cohort. Students will implement the critique obtained within group settings and modify their project in response to evaluations by their peers. Students will then produce written explanations of their dissertation method that justify their methodological approach to their research question. These written documents will also provide the broader significance of engaging with their particular research model and the potential contribution to various fields of study. The research is performed under the supervision of a faculty instructor/graduate advisor and will thus vary based upon the training and expertise of the research team. Students are expected to (1) present their chosen methods to the cohort and engage in group critique (2) implement feedback from the cohort, and (3) produce a written defense of their methodological approach.
