Professional Development I: Research

Catalog description

Professional Development I is the first in a three-course series designed to encourage professional development in one of three areas: research, teaching and learning, and practice management. The overarching goal of the Professional Development Series is to provide students with an understanding of the skills, activities, and ethics related to research, teaching, and learning or practice management, an opportunity to explore continued professional development, and the tools necessary for lifelong learning. The course begins with an introduction to each topic area: research, teaching and learning and practice management. Students then work with a faculty advisor to further develop their skills in the area of research. Throughout the course series, students conduct a research study including design, subject recruitment, data collection, analysis and dissemination of their findings.
