Qualifying Paper Seminar

Catalog description

This three-credit seminar is designated to assist students in developing their Qualifying Paper (QP) and initial frameworks for dissertation research. The QP assesses the student’s ability to formulate and analyze a research problem in education using available empirical and theoretical literature. The QP prepares the student to examine the research problem in their dissertation; in some cases, however, the QP may lead the student to conceive a different research problem for the dissertation.
